A story on My Health News Daily reports a study has found that isoflavones in soy can decrease the risk of developing certain types of breast cancer, and quotes Anne Weaver, a UB graduate student. The research contradicts other studies showing an increased risk of cancer with soy consumption, she said. The research also is the subject of articles on PhysOrg, Science Centric and Health Canal, and an article distributed by the South Asian news service ANI.
