It has sparked numerous debates. Is there a connection between soy and breast cancer? Soy contains isoflavones, which are plant estrogens. High estrogen levels have been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. However, studies show that soy isoflavones do not increase the risk of breast cancer.

Dr. Dawn Mussallem, a lifestyle medicine expert at Mayo Clinic, says consuming soy products in moderation can be beneficial.
