There is no harm in avoiding foods that you worry might be an issue for you. But Asian women have the lowest incidence of breast cancer, and they do tend to consume soy.

My daughter is vegan and consumes soy including soy milk, because it has the most protein of any of the plant milks (she said). She is aware of the information discussed in the article about the lack of proof of any link to breast cancer. The only known case of breast cancer in our family would be her maternal great-grandmother.
I’ve been looking online at more regarding fruits and Type 2 diabetes. This article seems to sum up what I’ve been reading on multiple sources in case there are others out there interested in this topic:
I also reread Myth 3 about Calories In and Calories Out and don’t see a thing wrong with what they’ve written TBH.
@Creekland as usual the generic term “diabetes” is being used here, and probably in this discussion, mainly to type 2. without specifying, thereby leaving out type 1, though it does attempt to generalize by saying you can take “medicine” to balance fruit. Five precent of people with diabetes have type 1.
I disagree with the list on high and low glycemic index foods. A ripe banana raises blood sugars very quickly, at least for a type 1.
Of course people with type 1 diabetes can eat fruit, using insulin. For foods with high glycemic index, there is the option to do insulin prior to eating.
Some people are doing low carb diets for either type of diabetes. In that case lower glycemic index vegetables are preferable.
Few medical providers have any training on type 1.
I edited my last post to put down Type 2 as that’s where my interests lie due to tons of it in both sides of my family line. I’ve been avoiding it so far, and I credit diet.
I first heard that fruit was fine, juice wasn’t, from my doctor. Naturally they aren’t saying to go “all” fruit, but just that it’s ok in a Type 2 diabetic diet and can even be helpful. After your post I have been checking more online and what I read matches what I’ve been told.
I’m sure Type 1 is different.
The myth in the article specifically says Type 2 FWIW.
Results vary (and probably depends on brand etc) but it certainly worked for a friend of mine.
Thx. Definitely merits more study.
I don’t know much about statins.
Statins are commonly used drugs prescribed for blood cholesterol problems. They occur naturally in some fungi (red yeast rice and oyster mushrooms are examples) and were first discovered in fungi.
