Topic: Positive Effects of Soy on our Individual Diets
I chose this topic because growing up my family would rotate soybean crops in with corn and wheat to prevent the land from being stripped of certain nutrients. As a child in the early 1980s, I always wondered what soybeans were used for. As I grew older, I learned exactly what it was used for. This morning I searched “nutrition related tops,” and this topic piqued my interest.
I already have seen there are studies out there on breast cancer and prostate cancer survivors using soy as part of their diet to reduce the recurrence of the disease. I will search for credible sources on soy, soy beans, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. Once I establish other benefits that soy has on the body, I will research them as well.
