Is it ok to drink soya milk when on anastrazole?
Hello and thanks for your post,
Eating soy products does not affect cancer risk.
Soy products such as tofu and soy milk contain chemicals called isoflavones. These are like the human hormone oestrogen, but have much milder effects. The link between soy and breast cancer has been studied in humans. But there is no good evidence that eating soy products increases or decreases cancer risk.
More information here,
and here
The World Cancer Research Fund have information on this too here
So, including soy products in your diet is fine.
I hope this helps.
