Bump!
Sorry I'm a little late to this. For anyone with concerns about cancer, I suggest googling the "Warburg effect". In a nutshell, the way that most cancer cells obtain energy and reproduce is solely dependent on blood glucose - unlike normal body cells that can use either glucose (from carbohydrates) or ketone bodies (from fats).
So those of us needing to control the weight gain that comes with (phyto)estrogen consumption and use carbohydrate elimination to do it (the best way in my opinion) are also lessening the chances of a cancer obtaining the ability to grow.
Please, no flames. Just google it. Here are a couple of papers.
