Soy contains phyto-estrogen, Diadzein and Genistein. Estrogen is used to induce cancer in cells so laboratory researchers can experiment with them. See this excerpt from "World Without Cancer" by Edward Griffin. This excerpt discusses the role estrogen plays in cancer. I thought it relevant due to talk of estrogen hormone substances found in soy, and a breast cancer survivor acquaintance of mine who took to the time to explain her devout stance against soy to me.

If it is true that the trophoblast cell is brought
into being by a chain reaction which involves es-
trogen or other steroid hormones, then it would
follow logically that an unnaturally high exposure to
these substances would be a factor that favored the
onset of cancer. And, indeed, this has been proven
to be true. The use of diethylstilbestrol as a fatten-
ing agent for cattle was halted in 1972 because it was
proven that this steroid, which was present in trace
amounts in the beef at our grocery stores, had
caused stomach cancer in experimental rats ?
It also has been demonstrated that women taking
contraceptive pills — especially those which are
predominantly estrogen — not only undergo irrever-
sible breast changes, but became almost three times
more cancer-prone than women who do not. This
fact was stressed by Dr. Otto Sartorius, Director of
the Cancer Control Clinic at Santa Barbara General
Hospital in California, who then added:
Estrogen is the fodder on which carcinoma [cancer] grows.
To produce cancer in lower animals, you first introduce
an estrogen base.
There is a slight confusion factor in all this due
to the fact that, occasionally, some cancers appear
to respond to hormone therapy — the deliberate
administration of estrogen or testosterone to the
cancer patient. But the only cases in which this kind
of therapy is rewarded with favorable results are
those involving cancer of the sexual glands, such as
the breasts or prostate, or those organs that are
heavily affected by sexual hormones. Female patients
are given male hormones and male patients
are given female hormones . The apparent favorable
action is the result of the hormones' attempt to
oppose or neuter those glands. If the cancer is retarded,
it is because the organ, is retarded.
The side-effects of this kind of therapy, of course,
are the altering of the sexual physiology of
the patient. Also, the beneficial results it produces,
if any, are usually described by physicians as pallia-
tive, which means that the cancer is not cured, only
retarded temporarily. But the worst part is that
— especially in the case, of men using estrogen— the
presence of unnaturally high levels of steroids
throughout the system could well be a factor favorable
to the production of new cancer tissue other
than at the primary site.
When cancer begins to form, the body reacts
by attempting to seal it off and surrounding it with
cells that are similar to those in the location where it
occurs. A bump or lump is the initial result. Dr.
Jones continues:
In order to counteract the estrogenic ac-
tion on the trophoblast, the body floods
the areas of the trophoblast in a sea of
beta-glucuronidase (BG) which inactivates
all estrogen on contact . At the same
time the cells of the tissues being invaded
by the trophoblasts defensively multiply
in an effort at local containment.
Usually the efforts of the body to control
the nidus of trophoblast are successful,
the trophoblast dies, and a benign polyp
or other benign tumor remains as a
monument to the victory of the body over
cancer.
Under microscopic examination, many of
these tumors are found to resemble a mixture or
hybrid of both trophoblast and surrounding cells; a
fact which has led some researchers to the premature
conclusion that there are many different types
of cancer. But the degree to which various tumors
appear to be different is the same degree to which
they are benign; which means that it is the degree to
which there are nofi-cancerous cells-within it. The
greater the malignancy, the more these, tumors
begin to resemble each other, and the more clearly
they begin to take on the classic characteristics of
pregnancy trophoblast. And the most malignant of
all cancers — the chorionepitheliomas— are almost
indistinguishable from trophoblast cells. For, as
Dr. Beard pointed out over seven decades ago, they
are one in the same.
An interesting sidelight "to these facts is that
trophoblast cells produce a distinct hormone that
readily can be detected in the urine. This is known
as the chorionic gonadotrophic hormone (CGH). If
it is true that cancer is trophoblast, then it is logical
to expect that cancer cells also would secrete this
hormone. And, indeed, they do. It is also true that
no other cell is known to produce CGH. 1 This
means that, if CGH is detected in the urine, it-
indicates that there is present either normal preg-
nancy trophoblast or abnormal malignant cancer.
If the patient is a woman, she either is pregnant or
has cancer. If he is a man, cancer can be the only
cause.
The significance of this fact is far-reaching. A
simple urine test similar to the well-known rabbit
1 test for pregnancy can detect the presence of cancer
long before it manifests itself as illness or a lump,
and it throws serious doubt upon the rationale be-
hind surgical biopsies . In fact, many physicians are
convinced that any cutting into a malignant tumor,
even for a biopsy, actually increases the likelihood
that the tumor will spread. (More on that in a later
chapter.) But, in any event, there is questionable
need for such procedures in view of the fact that the
CGH urine test is available and proven to be highly
accurate. In fact, Dr. Manuel Navarro* Professor
of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Santo
Tomas in Manilla,, has offered this test to American
physicians and reports better than
95% accuracy with both cancer and non-cancer pa-
tients. Almost all of the so-called errors have been
"in showing cancer activity within;patients who pre-
sumably did not have cancer. But in a large percen-
tage of these, those same patients later developed
clinical manifestations of cancer, suggesting that
the CGH test was accurate after all."
This information is why most well-read cancer survivors avoid all sources of estrogen and therefore avoid soy too. Soy even in its organic or GMO free form contains phyto-estrogen, Diadzein and Genistein. This is also the reason why so many people in Arizona are becoming a part of www.phoenixorganicfeed.com
