The Japanese, who
have low rates of breast and prostate cancer, consume daily 20-80 mg
of genistein, a phytochemical almost entirely derived from soybeans.
But in the United States, the daily dietary intake of genistein is only
1 to 5 mg.
When Japanese Women
move to the United States and consume the standard American diet, their
risk of breast cancer increases dramatically. Previously, doctors thought
that this was because of the high fat content of the western diet, but
new studies fail to show a significant link between dietary fat and
breast cancer risk. Some researchers now think that the increase in
breast cancer results from a diet that is deficient in soy isoflavones.
Genistein and
other soy components provide anticancer protection by the following
mechanisms:
- Blocking the
cell mutating actions of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other
pollutants by preventing their binding to estrogen-testosterone cell
receptor sites in the breast and prostate.
- Inhibition of
the activity of L-Tyrosine kinase, an enzyme required for most tumor
cell proliferation.
- Inhibition of
new blood vessel growth required to feed tumors.
- Inhibition of
cancer cell protein synthesis.
- Induction of
cancer cells to differentiate into normal cells.
The following
forms of cancer have been shown to respond favorably to soy adjuvant
therapy:
- Prostate cancer
- Leukemia
- Glioblastoma
multiforme
- Bladder cancer
Other Medical
Benefits of Soy
According to published studies, the daily intake of sufficient soy isoflavones
may:
- Alleviate post-menopausal
symptoms
- Stimulate bone
formation
- Inhibit LDL cholesterol
oxidation
- Reduce total
and LDL cholesterol levels
- Inhibit the development
or progression of atherosclerosis
- Prevent gallstones
- Reduce the risk
of cancer at multiple sites
- Protect kidney
function
Disease
Prevention in Postmenopausal Women
Dr. Sulistiyani of the Primate Research Center at Bogor Agricultural
University in Indonesia stated that considering the increased risk of
breast cancer and uterine cancer in Women using estrogen drugs, one
alternative is to take phytoestrogens, such as genistein, which have
been shown to protect the heart against cardiovascular disease. In studies
using Cynomolgus female monkeys who had their ovaries removed to simulate
postmenopausal Women, it was shown that genistein inhibited LDL (the
harmful form of cholesterol) oxidation by 48%. When used in combination
with vitamin E this effect was even more pronounced! In order to lower
cholesterol, and especially the dangerous LDL fraction of cholesterol,
it may be necessary to use one of the following soy supplements. One
study showed soy protein powder lowered cholesterol levels in monkeys,
but not soy isoflavones by themselves.
Caution:
Soy extracts have become very popular in the last few years as an adjuvant
(assisting) cancer therapy. Treating cancer, however, is not simple,
and some cancer patients are less likely to benefit from soy, while
others should not use it at all. Those considering soy extract supplementation
should remember that while it does have anticancer benefits that may
work synergistically with other conventional and alternative cancer
therapies, soy is not a cancer cure. Please refer to the Foundation’s
Cancer Treatment protocols before using Ultra Soy Extract as an adjuvant
cancer therapy.
