The study found that the risk of advanced prostate cancer was related to the intake of isoflavones

Isoflavones are phytoestrogens found in soybeans, Pueraria and American peanuts Recently, a study published in the International Journal of cancer found that the risk of advanced prostate cancer was related to the intake of isoflavones The researchers also noted that there was no significant correlation between isoflavone intake and prostate cancer Many previous findings about this compound have been positive For example, soybean isoflavone was previously thought to alleviate the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome, and it also has a positive effect on some symptoms, including insulin tolerance In addition, other studies have found that this compound can prevent menopausal symptoms and coronary heart disease The researchers followed for 11.5 years, with 27004 men identified as prostate, lung and colorectal cancers, including 2598 (including 287 advanced cases) The dietary intake of these patients was assessed by the food frequency questionnaire This study provides new evidence that isoflavone intake has different effects on advanced and non advanced prostate cancer The researchers stressed that the results of this study are of great significance for understanding the causes of prostate cancer and preventing the disease, but more epidemiological studies are still needed in people with different eating habits.
