The BEAN Study is a 2-year nutrition intervention study among healthy women looking at the role soy plays in lowering breast cancer risk.
Randomization is like tossing a coin, with an equal chance of being placed in either group.
Both groups will receive individualized nutritional counseling to maintain a healthy diet as recommended by the American Dietetic Association. Women in the soy group will increase soy in their daily diet and will be provided with soy foods, such as tofu, soy nuts, soy trail mix, soy milk, soy candy bars, or a soy concentrate that can be mixed easily with fruit juice. Recipes and cooking demonstrations will also help participants to prepare a tasty variety of foods.
