Avoid Soy and Dairy and Decrease Prostate and Breast Cancer Risk

Eliminate soy and dairy from your diet and decrease prostate and breast cancer risk. Soy and cows’ milk have been shown to increase the growth rate of breast and prostate cancer cells indicating it’s prudent to avoid both in your diet. 
Soy contains phyto-estrogens called isoflavones, which are plant-based chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body.  They work in a similar way to manmade chemicals such as BPA that have an estrogenic effect. Most soy produced today is made from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which is another reason why it should not be part of your diet. Men should avoid soy because it has been shown to lower testosterone, while women of reproductive age should also steer clear because soy will increase breast cancer risk and can lead to an androgen imbalance and poor body composition.
