[What is St. John's wort]

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a history of use as a medicine dating back to ancient Greece, where it was used for a range of illnesses, including various nervous disorders. St. John’s wort also has antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it has been applied to the skin to help heal wounds and burns. St. John’s wort is one of the most commonly purchased herbal products in the United States.

In recent years, St. John’s wort has been studied extensively as a treatment for depression. Most studies show that St. John’s wort may help treat mild-to-moderate depression, and has fewer side effects than most other prescription antidepressants.

DESCRIPTION: All three human studies on soy and breast cancer survival suggest that soy in sufficient amounts may improve survival in women diagnosed with breast cancer. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at ‪https://nutritionfacts.org/videos/breast-cancer-survival-and-soy/‬ and I’ll try to answer it! This is the fifth in my five-part series on the latest research on what impact diet has on breast cancer survival. For two videos on what not to eat, see Breast Cancer Survival, Butterfat, and Chicken (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-butterfat-and-chicken/) and Breast Cancer Survival and Trans Fat (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-and-trans-fat/). And soy joins flax seeds, as something breast cancer survivors should probably go out of their way to eat. See Breast Cancer Survival and Lignan Intake (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-and-lignan-intake/) and Flax and Fecal Flora (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/flax-and-fecal-flora/). There are 21 more videos on soy (https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/soy/) and also hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/). Note that the JAMA study is open access, so you can download it by clicking on the link above in the Sources Cited section.
