Turmeric Tofu Scramble
A quick and easy breakfast for any time of day! This tofu scramble is made with flavorful spices and sauteed veggies. Serve with avocado, Healthy Hot Sauce, Umami Sauce, or Simple Salsa.Chief among the misconceptions about soy foods is that they promote breast cancer because they contain phytoestrogens called isoflavones. Since estrogens can promote breast cancer growth, it’s easy to assume phytoestrogens might, too, but it turns out the opposite is true. In fact, the phytoestrogens in soy appear to help prevent breast cancer and also improve breast cancer survival. See my chapter on breast cancer in How Not to Die.
