Cook with 3C

🤠🐄 In a previous post, we established that milk does not contain hormones or antibiotics, but should you choose organic or non-organic?

The short answer is that organic or non-organic is a personal choice. According to BC dairy, “Both conventional and organic dairy farmers have environmentally friendly practices. Organic dairy producers feed their animals with crops grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. Meanwhile, conventional milk production results in overall lower greenhouse gas emissions as cow productivity increases.” All BC Dairy farms must adhere to The Code of Practice for the care and handling of cattle. You can guarantee safe, high-quality and nutritious BC milk regardless of if you purchase organic or non-organic.

Ever heard someone say “soy will give you breast cancer”? 🤨 It can be a concerning thing to hear if soy is a key ingredient in your diet. 🌱 Good news- research shows this is a myth! 🚫

Want more science? 👉 One risk factor of breast cancer is having high estrogen levels which soybeans are believed to increase. However, research on soy provides more evidence of it actually being beneficial towards prevention of breast cancer, rather than harmful. Isoflavones found in soy possess similar properties to estrogen but are non-hormonal, therefore inhibiting the production of cancer cells by reducing the harmful excess of hormones. Isoflavones bind to estrogen receptors and decrease their levels in the body.

So, if you ever hear this myth again, just know that soy is actually good for you! 👍

你有沒有聽過有人說「大豆會導致乳腺癌」？如果大豆是您飲食中的關鍵成分，這可能是一件令人擔憂的事情。但是，研究證明這只不過是一個神話。乳腺癌的一個危險因素是雌激素水平高，據信大豆會增加。然而，關於大豆的研究提供了更多證據，表明它實際上竟然有效預防乳腺癌，而不是有害。大豆中發現的異黃酮具有與雌激素相似的特性，但不含激素，因此通過減少有害的過量激素來抑制癌細胞的產生。異黃酮會與雌激素合併，降低雌激素在體內的水平。所以，不要相信「大豆會導致乳腺癌」啊！
