Because I had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation for breast cancer in 1990, I am not a candidate for estrogen replacement therapy. One of my friends suggested that I should also avoid soy products because there is natural estrogen in them. This was news to me. Will the type and amount of estrogen in soy foods be detrimental to my future health?
