Endometrial Cancer

Question: Is pomegranate or soy good or bad for endometrial cancer? I know that pomegranate and soy have natural estrogen in them. I also know that excess of estrogen in female could lead to endometrial cancer. Does that mean eating those two foods could lead to endometrial cancer?

Answer: No. There is no evidence that soy causes cancer. In fact, in countries with a high level of soy consumption, most cancer types are less frequent. Soy also contains isoflavones which are believed to fight against cancer. Pomegranate also contains high levels of antioxidants. It is likely more protective than causative of cancer.
