"Basically, taking a huge amount of soy in a short period of time led to changes in gene proliferation for some women with invasive breast cancer. But importantly, this didn't lead to an actual change in the appearance or growth of a tumor, explains Bromberg. While the researchers definitely saw changes in the expression of these genes, they don't know if this would lead to even greater changes if the women had been taking soy supplements for longer than 2-3 weeks.
So does that mean you should limit soy or avoid it completely if you have breast cancer? Not necessarily. Like many things, soy seems to be safe in moderation, and there is definitely research showing it's protective effects against a variety of cancers, including breast cancer."

Now what would happen if it were a glass of soy in the same amount rather than supplements? Hmm.
