In the field of medicine prevention is the most important key to keep everyone healthy and free from any diseases. Some of the diseases run from the family. But still it could be prohibited if one is given health education as to the predisposing factors that can be prevented. We are emphasizing the community health teachings. Any types of cancer can be very debilitating. Fortunately, some can be prevented just like eating soy products.

Recent studies have shown that eating soy products has helped protect Asian women against certain types of cancer. Scientists at the Cancer Research Center of Hawaii and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee conducted a study of 120 Asian women. Results produced more evidence that a long-term diet rich in soy can be linked to a reduced risk of breast cancer - as much as a 50 percent in some cases - according to research presented in Honolulu in December during the 2000 International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies.

The soybean is used in foods and beverages, including tofu, miso, soymilk, soy coffee, butter, veggie burgers, crackers, cookies and flour. Low in cholesterol and high in isoflavones, the benefits of the soybean are many. Start adding some to your diet today. Better yet, start your babies on it early and continue as a lifelong commitment to healthy eating.
