Soya food may reduce the risk of endometrial cancer
Regular consumption of soya may decrease the risk of endometrial cancer. Xu and colleagues (p 1285) studied 1678 women in China (832 with endometrial cancer) and found that, compared with the quarter of women with the lowest soya protein intake, the risk of endometrial cancer was reduced with increasing soya protein intake. The reduction was more pronounced among women with high body mass index or waist:hip ratio.
