Soy and Men’s Health
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Much of the research involving soyfoods published over the past 20 years, especially the clinical research (human intervention studies), has focused on the health of postmenopausal women. This focus is understandable because soyfoods are uniquely rich sources of isoflavones. Soybean isoflavones are commonly referred to as phytoestrogens (plant estrogens). Clinical research indicates that isoflavones alleviate bothersome menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes [1] and may also reduce risk of heart disease [2] and improve skin health [3]. So it’s understandable women are attracted to soyfoods.
