Abstract in brief

  • Soyfoods are recognized for their high-quality protein and healthy fats, and over the last 25 years, research suggests they may help prevent and treat chronic diseases like heart disease and certain cancers.
  • Isoflavones in soy act as phytoestrogens and selective estrogen receptor modulators, offering benefits like reducing hot flashes and supporting kidney health, despite some concerns based on animal studies.
  • Overall human research indicates that soy foods are safe and beneficial, with authoritative bodies like the European Food Safety Authority affirming that isoflavones do not harm postmenopausal women’s breast, thyroid, or uterine health.

@fvrmix @Coach_pedrotti @Boob1993 @LouS58384482 Sou can cause goiter in those at risk for it. Plenty of evidence that soy is health promoting, however. https://t.co/GWuqQPAz1B https://t.co/Dx4Wjv36i4 https://t.co/menHbr0gVM https://t.co/tIWb2zbZda https://t.co/vGyixhyOpq https://t.co/nJT37w4z2r https://t.co/22k7LbLZlk •

@TyRBeal Re kids, Danish researchers say max .07 mgs genistein per kg bodyweight, approx 1.26 mgs for a 5 yr old. 200 ml soyamilk = 3x this amount. Less of a worry for adults (FDA says 75mg isoflavone/day) unless lg quantities consumed https://t.co/wnLiYY71ax https://t.co/a9G72A519Y
