Dietitian's Advice

Welcome to the first addition of Navigating the Nutrition Maze. In honor of Breast Cancer Month, I am posting a position on one the most frequently asked questions, the safety of soy use in breast cancer. This post is simply meant to provide information. Please direct any specific question to the dietitian. Make sure to check in next month for Navigating the Holidays!
