The role of early life genistein exposures in modifying breast cancer risk.

British journal of cancer - 6 May 2008

Warri A, Saarinen N M, Makela S, Hilakivi-Clarke L

Abstract excerpt

Review of the existing literature suggests that consumption of soy foods or an exposure to a soy isoflavone genistein during childhood and adolescence in women, and before puberty onset in animals, reduces later mammary cancer risk. In animal studies, an exposure that is limited to the fetal period or adult life does not appear to have the same protective effect. A meta-analysis of human studies indicates a...
