Soy May Prove Ineffective To Protect Against Stomach Cancer
A new research from Japan has suggested soy rich diet that is linked to a reduced risk of cancer does not offer protection for stomach cancer.
The researchers from Japan found no difference in gastric cancer risk between people who consumed a lot of isoflavones and those who consumed the least.
An estimated 21,500 Americans were diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2011 and an estimated 10,500 died from it.
“One of the reasons for decline is that people have fridges now, and they use less salt preservatives,” said Khaldoun Almhanna, a medical oncologist at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida.
