You could also ask your doctor to reference the study I mentioned in the JAMA. The largest population-based study of breast cancer survival reported in a respected medical journal should give him or her pause to research the issue. You could also ask your doctor to cite his/her references or articles against soy and I’d be happy to have Dr. Huber review for his input.

As it stands, Dr. Huber and I are both in the same camp when it comes to soy. When organic and eaten in its whole form, especially as a fermented product, it can be a beneficial part of a balanced diet. Many studies on soy are looking at the fractionated, unnatural, genetically modified, non-whole food, soy-like products. It’s an issue we’ll continue to watch. Perhaps in an upcoming article we’ll organize more of our preferred findings for your consideration. Good luck – and congratulations on beating breast cancer to the curve. My own sister is fighting the battle, so it’s near and dear to my heart. Stay strong!
