Re: question on how to prevent fibroids

[Guest guest]

Then what about Japanese women who have lower fibroid rate? Soy is a

huge part of their diet.

I believe that they grow due several factors as

*genetic

*Food full of hormones and weakened liver tahtcan't process it

*stress

The incidence rate among Asian women in the United States is only

slightly lower than that for Caucasion women.

" Soy is a huge part of their diet. " is an unsubstantiated statement

that I would like to know more about, as I haven't any direct

knowledge of this cultural phenomenon of consumption of soy in the

U.S. in HUGE quantities for any given race. Can you share where

you've read or learned of this information? Also, if there's a

specific association of soy consumption to fibroids, could you share

that source of information?

As for Japanese women native to Japan...well, it's my understanding

there is quite a huge fibroid problem there. *Radiation* has gone a

loooonnnnnngggggg ways towards potentially contributing to that, as

well.....
