ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Isoflavone werden traditionell als schwache Östrogene eingeordnet. Allerdings ist es schwierig, die Östrogenizität von Isoflavonen einzuschätzen. Als Lieferant von Isoflavonen kann Soja durch mehrere hormonabhängige und hormonunabhängige Mechanismen das Brustkrebs- und Prostatakrebsrisiko senken. Daher ist der regelmäßige Verzehr von Soja zu empfehlen.

SUMMARY

Soya consumption and the risk of breast and prostate cancer

Traditionally, isoflavones have been categorised as weak estrogens. Nonetheless it is not easy to estimate the estrogeneity of isoflavones. Soya, as a source of isoflavones can lead to the sinking of breast and prostate cancer risk by means of more hormone dependent and non-dependent mechanisms. Therefore the frequent consumption of Soya is recommended.
