The sun is shinning brightly but visibility is rather poor due to haze.It has been hazy past few weeks and people with respiratory problems are getting sick more often.Asthamatic people getting more frequent acute attacks and sore throats are rampant.So civilised and educated reader,please stop those open burning.I know these are done with the best of intention, but it is not healthy and affecting the whole neighbourhood.
Anyway,let me clarify about some query that people often asked..Is there a realtionship between soya bean and cancer?
Soya contains phytoestrogen.Phytoestrogen is a natural plant chemical that have a weak estrogens like effects on the body,that is why it is widely used as part of anti aging supplement.There are 2 types of phytoestrogen,isoflavines and lignans.Soya contains isoflavines.
Phytoestrogen reduces hot flushes in post menopausal woman.In healthy premenopausal woman,phytoestrogen lower the natural production of estrogen,lengthen the menses cycle and therefore fewer cycles over a lifetime.Research results suggest that fewer menstrual cycles associated with lower risk of breast cancer.
However recent studies involving thousands of women did not revealed clear relationship between consumption of soya and breast cancer.In other words,soya does not increase or reduce incidence of breast cancer.
My suggestion is that,if you like soya beans,go and take them and if you do not fancy the taste,don't worry..you are not losing any benefit.
Until my next postings,have a beautiful day,live with passion and take care.
