Soy Tied To Longer Life After Breast Cancer
(Reuters Health) - - Eating more soy may be tied to better survival odds for many women with breast cancer and may not be harmful for patients treated with hormones, a new study suggests.
Previous nutrition research has linked soy to a longer life, but prior studies have also suggested soy may help tumors spread by making hormone-based cancer treatments, or endocrine therapy, less effective.

During the course of the study, women who ate the most foods conta...

How Soy Can Both Prevent Breast Cancer And Fuel Its Spread
To eat soy or not: That’s the question many U.S. women have been asking. Tofu, miso paste and other soybean-based foods are high-quality sources of protein that are low in calories and saturated fat. And studies have shown that they can help prevent cancer.
Yet many doctors recommend that women who have, or are at risk of developing, a common form of breast cancer called estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer avoid eating soybean-based foods because they contain compounds called isoflavones. Some studies suggest that isoflavones can mimic the hormone estrogen and encourage tumor growth.

Soy protein-based seed coating acts as biostimulant
(American Society for Horticultural Science) Researchers developed a seed coating for broccoli seedlings using soy flour as a binder in a soy flour, cellulose, and diatomaceous earth coating formulation. Soy flour acted as a biostimulant to enhance plant growth and nitrogen uptake in the plants. Soy flour-coated seeds had greater seedling root and shoot growth, and when applied at 30 percent, 40 percent, and 50 percent, soy flour increased total nitrogen per plant compared with the noncoated control.
