Nutrition

·         Soy foods have key nutrients known as phytonutrients, which are important to help block the formation of cancer. 

 

·         Early animal studies once suggested that soy might be harmful for breast cancer survivors. However, stronger human studies and a consistent body of research show that soy foods are safe for those diagnosed with cancer. 

 

·         Enjoy a moderate amount (2-3 servings per day) of whole soy foods such as edamame, soy beans, soy nuts, tofu, tempeh or soy milk.
