Milk Soymilk May Prevent Breast Cancer

In the United States, 180,000 women suffer from breast cancer each year, and the causes of breast cancer are closely related to dietary factors. High-fat diet is an important cause of breast cancer. Plant foods and milk have the effect of preventing breast cancer.

Recent studies have found that feeding rats with whey protein-containing whey is a transparent liquid and soy protein precipitated in yoghurt, which can reduce the induction ratio of chemical carcinogens to breast cancer. After chemical carcinogen treatment, 100% of rats that did not eat whey protein feed and soy protein feed had tumors, whereas the incidence of tumors in the soy protein feed group was 77%, and only 54% in the whey feed group. In the cancer-bearing rats, the whey protein and soy protein groups had fewer tumors and smaller volumes than the control group. This shows that whey protein and soy protein have a significant role in the prevention of breast cancer.

Foods rich in whey protein are milk, yogurt, and whey powder. Soy protein-rich foods are various kinds of soy products, including tofu, soy milk, and soy milk.
