?In males, levels of 17B-estradiol and testosterone were not affected, but levels of 3a, 17B- androstanediol glucuronide (a metabolite of dihydrotestosterone) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate were decreased by 13% and 14%, respectively, after 2-4 weeks of daily soya ingestion.? Sounds bad! But did you read the conclusion of the study: "We conclude that soya consumption can affect hormones that regulate growth of neoplastic cells, and that this may account at least in part for decreased cancer risk in populations with high legume consumption." So let us eat more soy! http://www.isoflavones.info > ?In males, levels of 17B-estradiol and testosterone were not > affected, but levels of 3a, 17B- androstanediol glucuronide (a [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > neoplastic cells, and that this may account at least in part for > decreased cancer risk in populations with high legume consumption." Other studies have shown possible associative risks between soy consumption and other forms of cancer. Indeed, some of the links I offered note the higher incidence of esophegal and other alimentary cancers in Asia -- thought to possibly be from a higher intake of soy. > So let us eat more soy! No, let's do more research before we take ONE study and make unfounded generalizations from it. Everyone appears to be fearful of something happening to them but we are getting fatter and living longer than ever before, Why? Are all these "chemicals" really good for us and actually making us live longer. Before the turn of the century (1900) average life expectancy was less than 45, What is it today and why?

Do you have an opinion ? ... and does it agree with the data already gathered on this subject ? :) Bruce ------------------------------ Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. -Redd Foxx Caution ===== followups may have been changed to relevant groups (if there were any) >?In males, levels of 17B-estradiol and testosterone were not > affected, but levels of 3a, 17B- androstanediol glucuronide (a [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >So let us eat more soy!
