In the Sept. 28 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, the investigators report that study participants who ate the highest amount of foods with dietary 'phytoestrogens' had a 46 percent reduced risk of developing lung cancer, compared to those who ate the lowest quantity.

S. population, according to the researchers.
