Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ray, Soy products are not always recommended for estrogen positive breast cancers. I think the verdict is still out as far as whether or not they are safe. I believe that fermented soy is safer, but I'm not sure. I stay away from all soy because I'm allergic to it. Flaxseed seems to have a better track record with cancer than soy as far as our type of cancer goes. ar > > Robyn isoflavones are natural and they  block Estrogen from getting to the > cancer  Isoflavones, especially genistein, lower the effect of the estrogens by > binding with the estrogen receptors.
