Isoflavonas de soya y salud humana: cáncer de mama y sincronización de la pubertad
Background: Accumulated exposure to high levels of estrogen is associated with an increased incidence of breast cancer. Thus, factors such as early puberty, late menopause and hormone replacement therapy are considered to be risk factors, whereas early childbirth, breastfeeding and puberty at a late...
