Soy (was Re: Ice Cream - Breyers Carb Smart)

[Guest guest]

Hi Dennis:

Thanks. One explanation that could (possibly) account for quite a

few of these issues at the same time would be if soy **PROTEIN**

protects against prostate cancer, and soy **FAT** promotes it.

It could explain both your PSA data and the Physicians Health Study

results.

indeed I had not thought of that, I do not eat soy-- I eat soy protein

powder in a berry smoothie with low carb milk and yogurt. Earlier I

put it in oatmeal which replaced my usual eggs, so there are a lot of

factors to consider. reduction in egg (fat and cholesterol), oat bran,

greater protein consumption. etc. I am back to eggs and my PSA went up

slightly. It may be the isoflavoids that are doing the PSA reduction

and they are present in the powder. It may be that I was just high for

that one check up as PSA varies.

Tofu consumption, in one rather infamous study, has been associated with

increased occurence of dementia in men. Another possible problem with soy.
