His report on Soy. He cited 3 studies that evidence the health benefits of soy. Soy has been maligned by folks who, I believe, are threatened by the populace awakening to the health dangers imposed by animal and dairy consumption.
The LACE Study (Life After Cancer Epidemiology) noted that soy isoflavones cut breast cancer recurrence in post-menopausal women by 60%. These women were taking tamoxifen. The soy levels consumed were comparable to that of Asian societies: 1 -2 servings soy/daily.
The Shanhai Study, done with 6000 women, posted the same protective benefits of soy.
A recent 2011 study indicated that an increase in isoflavones resulted in decrease in breast cancer recurrence.
The soy consumed was whole, fermented soy - tofu, edamame, tempeh, miso; not processed 'fake' soy products.
