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.
And this was most pronounced in women, the most aggressive type of breast cancer, when that's estrogen receptor negative.
But even if women had estrogen receptor positive, breast cancer would still benefit.
So it's really amazing.
And how this works is there's two receptors in the breast.
The estrogen receptor beta is where that soy likes to bind.
And remember we talked about proliferation?
That's where we turn off the proliferation is estrogen receptor beta.
That's exactly right.
And then, you know, our natural body's estrogen binds to that estrogen receptor alpha preferentially, and that's when that turns on this proliferation.
So beta turns it down, alpha turns it on?
You got it.
Got it.
Okay, so explain that part again about the alpha.
What does it do?
That's where the body's natural estrogen, when binding, that turns on this proliferation.
So the soy does this really favorable thing at the level of the breast where we get protection.
