In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re breaking down some of the biggest myths about soy and separating hormone fearmongering from the actual science. We unpack what phytoestrogens really do, what the research says about soy and hormones, fertility, cancer risk, menopause, and weight management, plus the controversy around GMOs, processing, and antinutrients.
