Soy Isoflavones

Of all the phytochemicals that exist in the foods we eat, perhaps none has received as much attention as a group of phytochemicals found almost exclusively in soybeans: isoflavones. Isoflavones are now being studied in laboratories throughout the world and during just the past three years alone, more than 1,000 medical and scientific papers have been published on isoflavones.

There are three primary isoflavones in soybeans: genistein, daidzain, and glycitein. In various experimental models, isoflavones have exhibited properties that suggest they may help to lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and for the relief of menopause symptoms such as hot flashes.

In addition to breast cancer, soybean isoflavones may help reduce the risk of several types of cancer, including lung, colon and rectal cancer. One cancer that is receiving a lot of attention in relation to isoflavones is prostate cancer. The Japanese prostate cancer mortality rate is very low compared to Western countries. Some research suggests that one factor contributing to the low Japanese prostate cancer mortality rate is soyfood consumption. Isoflavones have been shown in animal models to slow the growth of and to delay the development of pre-cancerous prostate lesions and prostate tumors.
