soy lecithin

Question
I will rephrase the question.

Does soy lecithin have the same negative effects
on estrogen as soy has?

Thanks.

Answer
Hi, Soy lecithins have the ability to keep a product together because of its emulsification properties.  You will likely find soy lecithin in hundreds of processed foods.  A compound of soy lecithin (phytoestrogen) can produce effects on the body similar to the hormone estrogen.  Soy phytoestrogens may promote an increased risk of breast cancer in women by changing or decreasing the natural estrogen.  However, the studies are inconclusive with respect to the link between soy and cancer.
