Daily soy consumption may significantly improve survival rates for women battling breast cancer, according to recent research.
The Study
A team led by Chinese physician Dr. Zhang examined the link between soy intake and breast cancer outcomes. The study tracked 616 Chinese breast cancer patients over an average of 52 months.
Key Findings
Women consuming about 13 grams of soy protein daily—equivalent to roughly two glasses of soy milk—showed up to 29% higher survival rates compared to those who avoided soy. Prior studies have similarly suggested soy's potential benefits for survival and recovery in breast cancer patients.
