There was just something we call an umbrella review, 17 million person years in the study.
And what it showed us is that there's class one evidence.
This is like the highest quality evidence we have in medicine that fiber can help to reduce dying from any cause,
dying from heart disease, it can also reduce the risk of dying from pancreas cancer in this class one evidence.
What?
It's really exciting.
There was another study, another review of the data that was just published that showed that fiber can help to reduce the risk of cancer by 22%.
Why does edamame prevent cancer?
There are very few things we can consume that God forbid you ever got breast cancer would reduce your risk of dying.
And edamame are one of those.
And one of the most influential times you have that edamame is your young girl.
And if you're a young boy, it's going to be very protective for his prostate too.
So we know that soy is also good to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
There's even some research that says it reduces the risk of lung cancer.
And it's amazing for the gut microbiome.
But let me talk about breast cancer because a lot of women with breast cancer avoid soy.
Even though that we know this data that it looks protective, they avoid soy.
Well, the American Cancer Society's 2022 data on nutrition and exercise update dedicated three paragraphs to the safety of soy and breast cancer survivors.
And it didn't just show safety.
In this beautiful meta-analysis, it showed that there was a 25% reduction in breast cancer coming back.
