SoyBean Isoflavones

SoyBean have been used as the mother's milk supplement in China for at least 5,000 years. Soy drinks have been very popular in Taiwan, Thailand, South East Asia & now in Amercia.

Soy food is rich in proteins, the appended is the short write up I found. Would keep you updates...

Soybean Isoflavones
Description
Soy is a unique dietary source of the isoflavones, such as genistein and daidzein. It has been part of the Southeast Asian diet for nearly five millennia, whereas consumption of soy in the Western World has been limited until the 20th century. Heavy consumption of soy in Southeast Asian people is associated with reduction in the rates of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease, and the troublesome side effects that may accompany with menopause. Recent experimental evidence suggests that isoflavones in soy, which has been scientifically analyzed since the 80’s, are responsible for the beneficial effects.
