*** 19 *** Nutrition concerns for women with breast cancer - V
Phytoestrogens (soy and flaxseed)
Phytoestrogens Phytoestrogens (that are found in foods such as soy and flaxseed) are chemicals from plants that act weakly like estrogen.
Soy Soy-based foods include tofu, soy milk, soybeans and miso.
Not enough scientific study has been done to prove or disprove that soy might act in the same way as natural estrogens and increase the growth of breast cancer.
Some studies have found that soy may reduce the risk of breast cancer, but these studies were done on people from other countries whose diets are high in soy and the reduced risk may have been due to other factors.
At this time, there is not enough scientific evidence to recommend that women with breast cancer eat soy foods or take soy supplements to decrease breast cancer recurrence.
Talk to your healthcare team about eating soy foods. If you decide not to eat soy and are following a vegan diet, try eating other legumes and nuts as a protein source.
Flaxseed It is not clear what effect eating flaxseed may have on women with breast cancer. Until more is known, talk to your healthcare team if you have questions or are unsure about eating flaxseed or flax-based foods.
