That could possibly be a valid argument IF it were not for the fact that cooking results in the destruction of the same compounds destroyed by fermentation. And the other soy products are cooked before consumption.

Even if this is true soy has never been linked to these cancers, as where H. pylori has been linked to stomach cancer and is widespread in many Asian countries. So that was a really weak argument! And why would you assume that a food that prevents other forms of cancer would cause stomach and intestinal cancers when there is no evidence of this? Tweet
