Phyto- @entity2931 are dietary components found in some plants, which act in vivo like weak @entity2931 . They may reduce the risk of some @entity179 moderated by @entity2931 , including @entity0 and @entity170 . The most widely studied are the @entity6400 @entity670 and @entity8139 from soyabeans, but @entity16296 may be more prevalent in the European diet. Soya foods have traditionally been consumed in the Orient for millennia, and are now widely available to European consumers. Levels of @entity3093 in soyabeans from published literature vary between 560 and 3810 mg/kg, depending on variety and growing conditions. Soya protein concentrates and isolates derived from soyabeans contain 466-615 mg @entity6400 /kg. Traditional soya milk, bean curds, bean sprouts, etc. contain 13 to 2030 mg @entity3093 /kg, depending on the starting raw material and final water content. Fermented foods have a different @entity3093 conjugate profile, which may be important in absorption and metabolism. Soya analogues of European foods include dairy and meat products, which contain 38 to 3000 mg total @entity6400 /kg, depending the source of soya and dilution with other ingredients. A wide range of foods contain low levels of soya-derived @entity6400 , but such foods do not make a significant contribution to mean intakes in Europe. Flaxseed is by far the richest source of @entity24829 precursors. However, foods such as cereal brans, legumes and some vegetables are a more important source in the diets of Europeans because they are more widely consumed. For similar reasons, compared with soya @entity6400 , @entity16296 may be a more important source of phyto- @entity2931 in the diets of Europeans.
