Soy Protective Against Prostate Cancer

"Dietary phytoestrogens 'in soy] are strong candidates for a role as protective compounds with regard to prostate diseases."

That from a report by Adlercreutz, Mazur, Hallmans et al*, who found that both soy's isoflavones and lignans in rye bran caused tumor cells in animals to "normalize," that is, to change from being immortal to being mortal. Being mortal of course, leads to their death. This benign approach to prostate cancer contrasts with more invasive approaches.
The isoflavenoids and lignans do not kill.

IMPORTANT: IF YOU BUY RYE BREAD, REALIZE THAT YOU ARE GETTING VERY LITTLE OF THE VALUABLE BRAN. RYE BREAD IS ORDINARILY MADE FROM WHAT IS CALLED "CLEAR FLOUR," WHERE MUCH OF THE LIGNANS ARE REMOVED.

DETAILS: Adlercreutz, who did the study with colleagues at the U. of Helsinki, Finland, Tokyo U., Japan, U. of Umea, Sweden, and Swedish U. of Ag. Science, Uppsala, has been the leading scientific researcher on soy for many years. He has previously provided reports for The Journal of Nutrition, 1995; Scan. J. Clin. Lab Investig, 1990: Environ. Health Perspect. l995; Prostate, l998; J. Steroid Biochem. Mol. Biol, l992, among others.
