Too much phyto-estrogens for good health for either sex.

@redredred Myth. Studies have shown that soy may only have a negative impact in infancy. There is not enough evidence to suggest it does anything harmful to teenagers or adults. Eating tofu once in awhile is not going to amount to high levels of phyto-estrogens anyway.
Phyto-estrogens can also have some beneficial side effects too.

@redredred Great, people should always talk to their doctors about things that might effect their health or a loved ones health.
And as an oncologist she can explain what estrogen does to tumors. And how much too much soy could be for someone with a tumor. Because she can be more specific.
But my statement is still largely correct. A little tofu is fine in GENERAL. Will some people be MORE careful simply because it could have some benefit for them to be extra careful specifically because of health conditions..of course. That is true for anything. My Father has issues with blood clots. He should.not eat cranberries for example. But that doesn't mean that a blanket statement like "cranberries is not good for the health of men and women. " Is true. That is all I mean.
Hope you and your wife are doing ok. Cancer is the fucking worst.

@redredred I'm so sorry for your loss.
Your statement makes a lot more sense as to why you advocate against soy so strongly. I will remember your wife when I talk about soy from.now and mention that while soy does have some.health benefits for some.people it's not for infants or possibly anyone suffering or have recovered from breast or ovarian cancer. I may ask a few friends of mine who have had breast cancer about it as well. Some of them eat tofu. So I'm curious what their doctors said about it too.
I do know that lowering the estrogen level in the body is ideal.as it can help slow the cancer's growth or help prevent it from coming back. So taking a protective role and avoiding soy makes sense when you want to be careful :/
Thank you for telling your story, sorry for bringing up bad memories.
