Consumption of soy-rich foods is among the factors into which the decreasing incidence rate and death rate from cancer are attributed. The presence of lunasin, a bioactive peptide, in soy products has been shown to slow down proteases involved in carcinogenesis. Meanwhile, lunasin from non-soy sources such as wheat and barley seems to also restrain oncogene expression.
