Soy good for both benign disorders of the breast and breast cancer.

Consuming soy cuts the risk of both breast cancer and benign disorders of the breast.

The beneficial influence that consuming soy can have on breast cancer has already emerged in a number of studies. However, it now appears that high soy consumption can also counteract benign disorders of the breast. In some cases the presence of benign lumps in the breast means an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Preventing benign cellular changes can reduce the risk of breast cancer.
