Soy (tofu, edamame, soy milk) and PCOS: what 1 women report

The short answer: We're still collecting community data on soy and PCOS symptoms. Add your reaction below to see how it compares.

Soy contains phytoestrogens, which is why it gets blamed for hormonal chaos. But the research is more nuanced: moderate whole-soy intake (tofu, edamame) is associated with longer cycles and lower androgens in women with PCOS.
