Soy, Fish May Cut Cancer Risk
 (WebMD Medical News, 11/14/06)

Researchers at the Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research meeting in Boston presented evidence that soy and fish may each have cancer-preventing properties. Dr. Larissa Korde of the National Cancer Institute reported that her team reviewed data from interviews with 1500 women and concluded that eating soy at an early age may lower a woman’s breast cancer risk. Megan Phillips, a graduate student at the Harvard School of Public Health, and team, based their findings on an analysis of the data on about 22,000 male participants in the Physicians' Health Study, in which the men had reported in 1983 the frequency with which they ate fish. The scientists found that, over the course of the next 18 years, the men who routinely ate less fish were more likely to develop colorectal cancer
