Soy
* Most soy contains chemicals
  - compounds
  - natural chemicals
  - has proteins
* Some soy causes breast cancer
  - contains natural toxins
* Some soy helps prevent cancer
  - prostate cancer
  - interferes with protein digestion
* absorbs the flavors of the ingredients it is cooked with, is inexpensive, and easy to work with.
* acts as an antioxidant.
* balances sex hormone levels.
* based oils have a reduced environmental impact on sensitive aquatic environments.
* can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet.
* can be an allergenic food for some people
  - important weapon in the war against breast cancer
* contains a chemical called isoflavone, that acts as an antioxidant
  - group of natural plant chemicals called isoflavones
  - variety of isoflavones, including two potent ones called genistein and daidzein
  - at least two compounds that inhibit pigment formation
  - chemicals known as phytoestrogens, which are thought to mimic the action of estrogen
  - compounds called isoflavones that are believed to be cancer-preventive
  - daidzin, a potent phytoestrogen, and wheat flour contains less potent enterolactones
  - essential fatty acids, phytoestrogens, vitamin E and natural anti-inflammatory agents
  - genistein and daidzin which is converted to daidzein
  - goitrogens that block thyroid function
  - high levels of goitrogens
  - hormone-like compounds called phytoestrogens
  - many individual isoflavones, but the most beneficial are genistein and daidzein
  - phytates which have been known to inhibit iron absorption
* contains phytoestrogens and soy also negatively influences the thyroid gland
  - called isoflavones that can mimic estrogen
  - which can work like estrogens in the body
* contains phytoestrogens, compounds that help regulate estrogen levels
  - such as genistein, daidzein and glycitein
  - plant steroids called isoflavones that structurally are related to estrogen
  - protein, isoflavones, and fiber, all thought to provide health benefits
  - the phytochemical genistein, which has anti-angiogenesis properties
  - thousands of compounds
  - two important isoflavones known as genistein and diadzein
* delivers calcium to the bones, increasing bone density.
* has functions
* helps lower cholesterol, prevent heart disease, and ease the discomforts of menopause
  - maintain kidney health
  - stimulate the release of anabolic hormones that promote muscle formation
  - support a healthy cardiovascular system
* includes kernels
  - sections
* induces cancer cells to differentiate into normal cells.
* inhibits estrogen-induced breast and endometrial cell proliferation
  - protein kinase C activity in cancer cells
* is in sixty percent of our processed food
  - part of soyas
  - so widely distributed in processed foods that avoidance of soy in the diet is very difficult
* isoflavones act like weak estrogens in respect to bone metabolism
  - contain phytoestrogens that bind with estrogen receptors exert an inhibitory effect
* isoflavones enhance coronary vascular reactivity in atherosclerotic female macaques
  - in the treatment of prostate cancer
* lowers the risk of breast cancer.
* offers benefits
* prevents digestive disorders
  - the problems of milk allergy
* promotes healthy bones, cholesterol levels and helps relieve symptoms of menopause
  - strong bones and connective tissues
* provides complete protein, contains no cholesterol and is low in saturated fat.
* reduces cholesterol
  - hot flashes because it source of compounds called phytoestrogens
  - the risk of prostate cancer by inhibiting cell growth
* serves as meat and milk for a new generation of politically correct vegetarians
  - a new generation of virtuous vegetarians
* slows growth of prostate cancers.
* supports growth
  - normal growth
* there staple of the diet for both rich and poor.
