"Mom, this soy milk can't be drunk later..."
Aunt Liu came to the city to take care of her son and daughter-in-law, according to her habits, every morning she would go to buy soy milk, but after taking it home, the daughter-in-law was not happy, and directly said with a bitter face that this will not be able to drink in the future.
Aunt Liu felt very strange, Chinese drink soy milk has been drunk for hundreds of years, how can suddenly not drink, is it the store she bought can not do: "Then I change stores and buy again?" ”
"Mom, drinking too much soy milk will get breast cancer, what does breast cancer mean to us women, you know this, right?" So ah, we will not drink soy milk in the morning after that. ”
What the daughter-in-law said was conclusive, not to mention soy milk, which scared Aunt Liu and did not even dare to eat tofu. But she has a question in her heart: after drinking soy milk for so many years, how can she drink breast cancer well?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" >. </h1>
Before saying whether soy milk will cause breast cancer, Xiao Miao first told everyone what soy milk is and what nutrition is there?
Soybean milk is one of the popular traditional foods loved by the people of China and has a long history.
Soy milk is rich in high-quality plant protein and phospholipids, and is rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, lecithin, as well as soluble dietary fiber and soy isoflavones and other nutrients and health ingredients.
The digestibility of soy milk can reach 85%, and does not contain lactose, which is more suitable for Orientals to drink than milk, and has the reputation of "plant milk".
After reading the above popular science, you must not think that Xiao Miao is making up the word count, Sacco joke.
It is precisely because soy milk is a nutrient of soy isoflavones that it has been criticized and may lead to breast cancer.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54" > second, soy milk causes breast cancer, and we have to start with a study</h1>
Why do people think that soy milk can induce breast cancer? This is probably related to the phytoestrogens in soy products.
In 2018, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published a study in which it was mentioned that the onset of breast cancer may be related to estrogen. The researchers followed up on 593 patients who were diagnosed with postmenopausal estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer between 1976 and 1990.
By following these breast cancer patients for 25 years, the researchers found that compared with patients with low estrogen heterogeneity, patients with high heterogeneity of estrogen receptors in tumors had a higher mortality rate, or even reached 2 times!
Because they conclude that there is an objective heterogeneity in the estrogen receptor (ER), the rate of ER positivity for breast cancer is higher. In other words, people with high levels of estrogen may cause breast cancer.
The soy isoflavones in soy milk can produce estrogen in the body, and the claim that soy milk causes breast cancer comes from this.
First of all, regardless of whether the incidence of breast cancer is related to soy milk, and then say that any carcinogenicity without talking about the dose is a hooligan. First of all, the article does not explicitly state how much higher estrogen is prone to breast cancer. Second, this article only shows that exogenous estrogens may reduce the treatment effect of breast cancer patients, but it is pure nonsense to say that it will cause breast cancer.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" >3, soy milk contains estrogen, can you still drink? </h1>
You can clearly tell everyone that soy milk can of course be drunk.
Soy milk contains phytoestrogen soy isoflavones, which are not the same thing as estrogen in the human body, and have a certain competitive relationship, but can be combined with estrogen receptors in the body to play a two-way regulatory role.
In layman's terms, if the level of estrogen in the body is high, such as breast hyperplasia, it helps to reduce the adverse effects caused by excessively high estrogen levels; and if the level of estrogen in the body is low, such as menopausal and elderly women, it helps to increase estrogen levels, and this regulatory effect is relatively mild and long-lasting. Therefore, soy isoflavones do not cause breast cancer, but also alleviate women's menopausal syndrome, prevent osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
It can be seen that the statement that "women drink soy milk all year round will lead to breast cancer" has no scientific basis.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="56" > fourth, prevent breast cancer, the real can not eat them</h1>
Instead of worrying about soy products, it's better to really understand which foods can induce breast cancer. What we need to pay attention to is that overnutrition, obesity, fat diet, at this time the peripheral tissue may produce estrogen, strengthen or prolong the stimulation of estrogen on breast epithelial cells, thereby increasing the probability of breast cancer.
1. Hamburger
Hamburg is a typical high-calorie, high-fat food, and the incidence of breast cancer is positively correlated with fat intake, and the risk of breast cancer increases with increased fat intake. Unscientific and unhealthy "high-calorie, high-fat" eating habits result in a significant increase in the incidence of breast cancer.
2. Wine
Drinking alcohol is much more harmful to women than men. Studies have shown that alcohol can affect the level at which estrogen circulates in the body and can increase the rate at which the body processes estrogen.
Since many breast cancers rely on estrogen for energy, drinking moderate to large amounts of alcoholic beverages can accelerate breast cancer.
3. Pickle food
Pickled food is a traditional Chinese food and is an effective way to preserve foods such as vegetables, meat and fish. But in fact, whether it is processed food or homemade pickled food, it contains more nitrites, which will react with the protein decomposition product amine after passing through the gastrointestinal tract under the action of gastric acid. Nitrosamines, on the other hand, have a strong carcinogenic effect and can also induce breast cancer in women.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, and due to its complex etiology, there are rumors that ingesting soy products can cause breast cancer, but this is not true.
Many studies have shown that a high-fat diet and abdominal obesity are a risk factor for breast cancer. Other studies have shown a direct correlation between relapse and fat intake in women who have previously been diagnosed with breast cancer. Therefore, limiting fat intake and a balanced diet are necessary to prevent breast cancer.
