Soy doesn't actually increase estrogen in the body in reality. That is a myth that has no basis in reality. Phytoestrogens (what is in soy) actually is beneficial to our hormonal systems, balances excess estrogens in the body, and prevents cancers/other issues associated with estrogen dominance. As a woman of the US, your breast cancer risk is 5x higher than a Japanese woman for good reason! Soy products are readily consumed there and very little dairy is consumed (lactating mother cows are flooded with ACTUAL ESTROGEN.) Whole food soy (tofu, soymilk, edamame, natto) is so amazing for us. The only one you should be avoiding is soy protein isolate but you really should be avoiding any processed foods as they're all toxic. If you want to reduce your risk of estrogen dominance related disease, eat organic non-gmo soy everyday and avoid all animal products.
