>Eating a serving of soya bean curd or drinking a glass of soya bean milk every day reduces the risk of breast cancer by 18 per cent for Chinese women in Singapore.

The study by the National University of Singapore's (NUS) Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, the University of Southern California and the University of Minnesota, tracked more than 34,000 Chinese women over 10 years.

Of the 629 of them who developed breast cancer over the past decade, 290 were from the group that ate more soya proteins, and 339 from the other group.
