Vanderbilt study: Soy diet improves lung cancer survival odds in women
Source: The Tennessean
Women with a history of eating lots of soy may live longer after being diagnosed with lung cancer, according to a study by Vanderbilt University researchers.
The study followed the diets of 74,941 Chinese women for more than a decade. Of that number, 444 were diagnosed with lung cancer. Those who had a history of eating soy-rich diets were 20 percent more likely to be alive a year after diagnosis than those who had not.
Results of the study are published today in the Journal of Clinical Oncology by the same research team that earlier found nonsmoking women who ate higher amounts of soy food were less likely to develop lung cancer.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to suggest an association between high soy consumption before a lung cancer diagnosis and better overall survival, said Dr. Gong Yang, the lead author of the study.

The vast majority (and the descendants of) of caucasians and and africans are type O.
Soy, as metabolized by type O genotypes, sets up an agglutination inflammatory response.

(10,597 posts)... Where do you think you can find some non-GMO soy these days? Did Monsanto pull the wool over China's eyes on their magic soy bean seeds? Oh... and soy sauce is loaded with salt, because the soy is so unsavory. If the soy doesn't kill you eventually, the salt will.
