Dr. Weeks’ Comment: Soy, especially fermented soy (and of course, organic, non-GMO) is healthy. Whether or not soy is beneficial is no longer a valid discussion.

The fact that there are two distinct receptors which have different physiologic effects in news to you? Well let’s be clear: estrogen receptor ALPHA is carcinogenic whereas estrogen receptor BETA is anti-cancer. (Think “BETA is better”) Want to learn more: read THIS and also read THIS and why not THIS and THIS and THIS and finally THIS. What follows is more great info:
