I've mentioned before how important fruits and vegetables are, as they contain chemicals, many of which are still unknown, which preserve health. Soy seems to have some particular properties which are worth mentioning. Soy is high in phytoestrogens , estrogen-like substances derived from plants. Genistein has powerful antioxidant effects and has been reported to act in cancer prevention.
