Dear Lactnetters

No answer to my question about anticanceral properties of genistein and
daidzein found in human milk after maternal consumption of soy. Are they
phytoestrogens ? Something other ? I am sure someone has ideas.
References of the study (I have only an abstract) :
Franke et al. Daidzein and genistein concentrations in human milk after soy
consumption. Clin Chem 1996 ; 42(6) : 955-64.

Thank you. Kind regards
