SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2017 5 A J OEL F UHRMAN , MD Don’t fall for the unfounded myths about soy Soy is the subject of some of the worst health misinformation on the internet. We need to tune out this misinformation and fol- low the science. Greater intake of soy foods is linked to a decrease in the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer and car- diovascular disease. Soy contains phytoestrogens (“plant estrogens”) called isoflavones which are said to be weak estrogens, but it’s actually more complicated than that. Isoflavones have both estro- genic and anti-estrogenic effects. The evidence suggests that, because of their complex rela- tionship with different estrogen receptors, soy isoflavones have beneficial anti-estrogenic Backstreet Gallery - The Place to Shop!

No. Since estrogen causes breast cancer cells to prolifer- ate, and cumulative estrogen exposure increases breast can- cer risk, there was an early the- ory that there might be a link between soy foods and breast cancer. At that time, however, in Asian countries, where soy was a staple food, breast cancer rates were much lower than those in the United States. This paradox launched hun- dreds of studies. The results of some individual studies were neutral, and, importantly, no studies in humans have sug- gested an increase in breast cancer risk; most show a decrease. Overall, the research sug- gests that soy intake helps to protect against initial breast cancer development (especially postmenopausal breast cancer), breast cancer recurrence, and breast cancer mortality. There is no more soy breast cancer con- troversy. Note that soy appears to be most protective when eaten during adolescence, when breast tissue is most sensitive to influences from the diet and environment. Does soy reduce the risk of other cancers? Yes. Soy isoflavones have additional anti-cancer effects.8 In a 2009 meta-analysis, higher Watch “In Search of the Lord’s Way” Sunday, 7:30 AM KMTR Channel 12 1421 Bay Street, Old Town, Florence Exceptional, one of a kind gifts, handmade by local artists!

SAINT MARY, OUR LADY OF THE DUNES CATHOLIC CHURCH Masses: Sat. 5:30 p.m., Sun. 11:00 a.m. 1.5 miles south of river on Hwy 101 – 997-2312 soy intake was associated with a 26-percent decrease in prostate cancer risk. Soy has also been linked to decreases in risk of lung, stomach, and col- orectal cancers. Do soy phytoestrogens have feminizing effects on men? No, not at reasonable levels of intake. This internet frenzy seems to be based on sensation- alized reports about one rare case of a man who developed breast swelling, who had been drinking three quarts of soy milk every day for over six months. When he stopped overcon- suming soy, the issue resolved. Of course, nobody should eat or drink that much soy; nobody should even consume that much of any one food. Even in Asian countries, where soy intake is much higher than in Western countries, three quarts of soy milk would greatly exceed the typical isoflavone intake. This case is simply not rele- vant to people eating moderate amounts of soybeans, in edamame, tempeh or tofu or one serving of soy milk, and scientific research documents the safety of that. A meta-analysis evaluated the data from 15 different placebo-controlled trials of soy foods, soy protein or isoflavone supplements. The studies meas- ured several indicators of testosterone levels, including total testosterone, free testos- terone, and sex hormone bind- ing globulin. There were no significant effects in these studies on men’s testosterone levels, estrogen levels or sperm quality. Another review of the studies looking at the potential femi- nizing effects of soy similarly concluded that there is no cause for concern. Furthermore, a recent obser- vational study on couples using in vitro fertilization found that soy food and soy isoflavone intakes were not associated with rates of successful IVF outcomes, suggesting soy intake does not have any nega- tive effects on male fertility. Is all soy genetically modi- fied, even organic soy? No. The USDA’s organic standards prohibit the use of genetically modified organisms in certified organic foods. In addition, they require cer- tified organic farmers who plant organic soybeans and have neighboring genetically modified soybeans to take appropriate, farm-specific pre- ventive measures to avoid cross-contamination and con- duct testing. Cross-pollination of non- GMO soybean plants by GMO plants is far less common than many people believe, and the assertion that all soy has been contaminated does not have the science to support it. In field tri- als, presence of the transgene in adjacent non-GMO soybean plants was a fraction of a per- cent (0.1-0.5 percent), and non- GMO soybean plants that were 10 meters away from the genet- ically modified plants showed no contamination with the transgene at all. Which soy foods should I eat, and how much? Edamame, tempeh and tofu are healthful foods that can be included in a high-nutrient (Nutritarian) diet with all other kinds of beans. Unsweetened soy milk with- out additives is useful in recipes for smoothies, salad dressings and sauces. The association between minimally processed soy intake and a reduction in the risk of cancers has been reported over and over again. However, keep in mind that because some is good doesn’t mean eating a soy-based diet is healthful; we should not eat lots of soybeans to the exclusion of other beans and other health-promoting foods. Two to four servings a week is reasonable. Variety of natural plants is crucial for obtaining diversity in protective phyto- chemicals. Avoid isolated and concen- trated soy protein; eat a variety of beans such as black beans, chickpeas and lentils; and enjoy some edamame, tofu and tem- peh as well.
