    Soy and Breast Cancer: Our gut bacteria determine how protective soy is

    April 11, 2021April 12, 2021

    When I was completing my masters program last year I took a class on plant based nutrition. My professor followed a vegan lifestyle and at times I felt that his personal beliefs about veganism interfered with teaching non-biased material.
