DESCRIPTION: Vegans consuming 7-18 servings of soy foods a day may end up with circulating IGF-1 levels comparable to those who eat meat. The allusion to stopping cancer progression through diet is a reference Dr. Ornish's remarkable work featured in my video Cancer Reversal Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-reversal-through-diet/). The eight-fold higher cancer cell growth suppression documented in those eating plant-based diets can be found in Ex Vivo Cancer Proliferation Bioassay (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/developing-an-ex-vivo-cancer-proliferation-bioassay/). It's important to remember in this discussion that soy food consumption is associated with an array of health benefits. See, for example, Breast Cancer Survival and Soy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-and-soy/), The Effect of Soy on Precocious Puberty (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-effect-of-soy-on-precocious-puberty/), and Soy Foods & Menopause (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/soy-foods-menopause/). The question really just comes down to the topic of tomorrow's video, How Much Soy Is Too Much? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-soy-is-too-much/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/too-much-soy-may-neutralize-plant-based-benefits/ and he'll try to answer it!
