No. Soy foods do not cause cancer. It is a myth that soy foods are bad for people.
Soy foods have be consumed by significant portions of the human population for over 2,000 years, and possibly much longer.
Interestingly, areas of the world where soy has the longest record of consumption are the same places where health researchers document low rates of many chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and dementia.
Soy is a staple in many Asian diets, and populations that eat these foods experience lower rates of many chronic health issues compared with Western populations.
In the end, the choice to consume soy comes down to preference. If you enjoy these foods, you should continue to do so, even after a mesothelioma diagnosis.
If you don’t like soy foods, eat other high-protein options such as chicken, fish, lean beef, beans, eggs, dairy and pork.
