Abstract

Exposure to high levels of endogenous and exogenous oestrogen has been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer. It has been postulated that a high dietary intake of soya foods, which are rich in precursors of the isoflavones daidzein and genistein, might reduce breast cancer risk through interfering with the action of endogenous oestrogen.
