Available scientific data would favour a conservative approach to avoid soya-rich product if you have fibroids. This is because: Firstly, phytoestrogens behave like oestrogens (which affect fibroids growth) Secondly, there is no large clinical trial to prove the definite association between phytoestrogens and fibroid growth.
