    Can breast cancer patient eat soybean?

    Can breast cancer patient eat soybean?

    1/5/2022 2:51:21 PM

    There are many myths that people with breast cancer should limit consume soy products. A 25-year study showed that soy contains isoflavone, which is linked to breast cancer. So is it true that the patients should reduce soybean products? The answer is yes and no.

    With a moderate dose, many studies show that soy foods reduce the risk of breast cancer as well as progression and recurrence rate of the disease. A study in China of 73,000 women found that eating at least 13 grams of soy per day reduced the risk of breast cancer by 11%. In addition, studies in the US and in Asia reveal if using soy after breast cancer treatment can significantly reduce the recurrence rate.

    Consuming about 90 grams of tofu (soybean products) per day is a moderate amount to improve better health. Should not use or, if used, must consult a doctor with supplements containing isoflavones (breast carcinogens) in excess.

    Therefore, soy and soy products do more good than harm for breast cancer patients if eaten in moderation.

    MASKED HYPERTENSION
    Masked hypertension refers to a condition where a patient’s blood pressure (BP) appears normal (below 140/90 mmHg) when measured in a clinical setting but exceeds the threshold of 135/85 mmHg when measured outside the clinic, such as at home or with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) over 24 hours. The concern with masked hypertension is that it often goes unnoticed, yet it poses significant health risks. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as kidney failure, vision loss, heart failure, and an increased risk of stroke.
