Show Notes
In Episode #197, Dr Matthew Nagra shares his evidence-based knowledge on soy and its relationship to cancer and hormones. Soy’s health benefits are hotly contested online, from claims that soy causes cancer to accounts of men experiencing feminisation.

Specifically, we cover:

- Soy’s relationship with prostate and breast cancer
- The potential effects of soy on infants
- Claims about the harms of soy
- And much more.
