By blocking enzymes thought to contribute to prostate cancer, soy isoflavones may delay or prevent its development. Additionally, as a good source of dietary fiber, soy may promote regular bowel movements and protect against developing colon cancer. Additionally, various chemicals contained in soy have been shown in animal, laboratory, or human studies to limit the growth of tumors by encouraging the degradation of cancer cells and discouraging the development of new blood vessels that support tumors. Soy is also believed to enhance general function of the immune system, in part due to its antioxidant activity. Antioxidants are thought to protect body cells from damage caused by a chemical process called oxidation. Oxidation produces oxygen free radicals, natural chemicals that may suppress immune function. Results of human studies for these uses of soy are not yet conclusive and further study is needed to prove or disprove its effectiveness for treating them.
