Also the stats show a very significant reduction in both breast cancers and recurrance of same and also prostate cancers in proportion to amount of soy consumed.

Yes, in populations consuming traditional minimally processed soy foods not highly processed soy food products & isolated soy proteins

But, there was no significant association with the consumption of miso soup. This may be because the carcinogenic effects of the salt are counteracted by the anti-carcinogenic effects of the soy, effectively canceling out the risk. And, if we made garlicky soup with some scallions thrown in, it may drop our cancer risk even lower.
But, cancer isn’t the primary reason people are told to avoid salt. What about miso soup and high blood pressure? Well, it may be the same kind of thing. The salt in miso is squeezing our blood pressures up, but the soy protein in miso may be relaxing our blood pressures down. So, for example, if you compare the effects of soy milk to cow’s milk—and, to make it fairer, compare soy milk to skim milk, to avoid the saturated butterfat—soy milk can much more dramatically improve blood pressure among women with hypertension. But, would the effect be dramatic enough to counter all the salt in miso? Japanese researchers decided to put it to the test.
They followed men and women in their 60s who started out with normal blood pressure, and followed them for four years to see who was more likely to be diagnosed with hypertension in that time—those who had two or more bowls of miso soup a day, or those that had one or less. Two bowls a day would be like adding a half-teaspoon of salt to one’s daily diet, yet those who ate two bowls or more appeared to have five times lower risk of becoming hypertensive. So, maybe the anti-hypertensive effects of the soy in the miso exceed the hypertensive effects of the salt.
