'Studies have shown that teenagers and young adults who consume reasonably high levels of phyto-oestrogens in their diet are far less likely to develop aggressive forms of breast cancer when they reach middle age,' said Ritchie. 'The trouble is that the general public knows very little about these compounds.'
Research has revealed that women with high levels of these phyto-oestrogens are less susceptible to cancer. 'It appears that they prevent the development of Phytonutrients establish improvements in wellbeing.
