Nope! Don't worry!: For patients with breast cancer, some oncologists advise avoiding soy, wild yam, red clover, and other phytoestrogens. There is conflicting evidence that these can cause breast cancer cells to grow more quickly. However, people who eat a plant-based diet including soy are at a lower risk of breast cancer overall. So don't worry!
