Soy may prevent breast cancer, study finds - Yahoo! News: "-

Women who eat lots of soy foods appear to have a lower risk of breast cancer, but the benefits may come from health habits that go along with eating soy and not from supplements, researchers said on Tuesday.

Teams at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and Georgetown University in Washington looked at 18 different population-based studies of soy and breast cancer. They found an overall relative reduction of 14 percent in breast cancer risk in Caucasian women who ate soy, they reported in Tuesday's issue of the Journal of the
National Cancer Institute."
