"Шью дело" на сою

Соя может увеличить вероятность рака груди:

А несколько раньше была статья о том, что соя препятствует зачатию, влияя отрицательно и на мужчин, и на женщин.

Все это не так уж и удивительно, так как соя содержит большое количество растительных аналогов женских половых гормонов (эстрогена), а с гормонами шутить рискованно.

Но выращивание сои приносит фантастические прибыли, поэтому не так-то просто подавить рекламу на сою и уменьшить ее количество в пищевых продуктах.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - At least one third of women at high risk for breast cancer regularly consume soy-based foods -- but this may not be a good idea, researchers say.

While the benefits of soy consumption for cardiovascular health have been confirmed, there is no evidence that soy foods improve breast health, particularly in non-Asian women, Dr. Carolyn Y. Fang of the Fox Chance Cancer Center in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, and colleagues note.

In fact, they point out in an article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, there is some evidence that high soy consumption could actually increase breast cancer risk among US women.

Fang and her team interviewed 452 women with family histories of breast cancer about how frequently they consumed soy and why.

Forty-three percent of the women had consumed at least one soy food in the past month, while 32 percent defined themselves as soy consumers. Soy consumers ate 18 servings of soy each month, on average, most commonly vegetable burgers, tofu, soymilk, soy nuts and green soybeans.

Women characterizing themselves as soy consumers were more educated and more likely to eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day. The most common reason for eating soy, they reported, was to have a healthy diet. Forty-five percent said they believed soy foods reduced cancer risk.

Among the women who did not eat soy, 7 percent said it was because the plant estrogens in soy foods could promote breast cancer, and some said a clinician had instructed them not to eat soy foods for this reason.

"Given that high levels of soy intake might increase breast cancer risk, our findings highlight the need for clear, consistent messages regarding the health benefits or risks of consuming soy foods, particularly in the context of cancer risk," Fang and her team write.

They note that women who believed soy had cancer-preventing properties were less likely to have gotten their information from health care professionals than women who didn't consume soy because of a potential cancer link.

"Thus, health professionals should take an active role in communicating and clarifying such information to patients, consumers, and public information/media channels," the researchers write.

"The message...may simply be that we do not have enough information yet to make an informed judgment. Be that as it may, consistent health messages from all sources should help to prevent further misinformation," they conclude.

This Food Can Damage Men's Fertility

A natural chemical found in soy, tofu and legumes can potentially damage sperm and lower men's fertility, Reuters reports of new research from King's College London.

The plant chemical, genistein, mimics the effect of the female hormone estrogen and in turn affects sperm in laboratory mice. Tests in humans have shown an even stronger impact than in the rodents. Research leader Lynn Fraser found in lab tests that small amounts of genistein can cause human sperm to "burn out" and lose fertility, reports Reuters.

And it's not just men who should avoid eating soy, tofu, and legumes. Women who are trying to conceive a baby should also avoid it since the chemical can affect sperm when it is in the female preparing to fertilize an egg. "Maternal exposure to the compounds is probably more important than paternal exposure," Fraser told a meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology meeting.

Even though the research is still preliminary, Fraser advised couples who are trying to conceive to restrict their soy intake during the window of ovulation.

Others say the results are surprising, especially since Asian societies eat a diet rich in soy and show no signs of reduced fertility. In addition, what happens to sperm in a laboratory setting may not apply to real life.
