Soy found to prevent colon cancer

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

New research published in the Journal of Nutrition reveals that consuming soy milk and other soy-based products fights colon cancer. Researchers identified a phytochemical in soy called glucosylceramide that reduced both the formation and growth of tumor cells in the gastrointestinal tracts of mice.

It's yet more good news for the many benefits associated with the consumption of soy products. Soy has also recently been shown to prevent prostate cancer and stop hair loss in men. It's a nutrient-dense food with an ever-growing list of health benefits, which is one reason why populations that consume more soy (Asian populations, primarily) exhibit far lower rates of cancer than the western world.
