In the study to investigate whether phytoestrogen intake is associated with reduced breast cancer risk, using a novel phytoestrogen database, posted in PubMed, researchers found that lignan intake was associated with a reduced breast cancer
risk (Q5 vs. Q1 MVOR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.65, 0.99); however, following
stratification by BMI, this reduction in risk was statistically
significant only among overweight (BMI > 25) women. Total
phytoestrogen intake was also associated with a risk reduction among
overweight women only. Among pre-menopausal women, total phytoestrogen
intake was associated with a significant reduction in breast cancer
risk among overweight women only (Q5 vs. Q1 MVOR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.30,
0.87). Among post-menopausal women, no statistically significant
association was observed between breast cancer risk and isoflavones or lignans.

Soy and bone mineral density (BMD) in women aged 30-40
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National
Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the study to investigate the effect of soy isoflavones intake on the maintenance of peak bone mass in a cohort of 132 women aged 30-40 years who were followed up for 3 years, posted in PubMed, researchers found that soy isoflavones consumption was categorized as quartiles of intake. there was a significant difference in the SBMD individual regression slopes between women belonging to the fourth and first soy isoflavones intake quartiles. The positive effect of soy isoflavones on SBMD remained after adjusting for age and body size (height, weight, and bone area). Multiple linear regression analysis including the other known covariates (lean body mass, PA, energy adjusted calcium, and follow-up time) showed that soy isoflavones, together with these variables, accounted for 24% of the variances of the SBMD individual regression slope. This longitudinal study shows that soy intake had a significant effect on the maintenance of SBMD in women aged 30-40 years.

Antihyperglycemic effect of biochanin A, a soy isoflavone
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National
Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the evaluation of Antihyperglycemic effect of biochanin A, a soy isoflavone, on streptozotocin-diabetic rats, posted in PubMed, indicated that Oral administration of biochanin A (10mg/kg body weight) or glibenclamide (600 μg/kg body weight) in 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide, for 45 days, prevented the above changes and improved towards normality. In addition, protection against body weight loss of diabetic animals by biochanin A was also observed. No significant effect was observed in normal rats treated with biochanin A (10mg/kg bodyweight). These results showed that biochanin A has potential antihyperglycemic activity at a dose of 10mg/kg bodyweight in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.

Soy and the exercise-induced inflammatory response
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National
Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the study of Soy and the exercise-induced inflammatory response in postmenopausal women, posted in PubMed found that results from our study do not support the notion that 4 weeks of daily soy milk ingestion can attenuate systemic elevations in markers of inflammation or oxidative defense. However, data do suggest that the downhill-running protocol utilized in this study can be effective in altering systemic markers of inflammation and oxidative defense enzyme activity, and that the ingestion of soy may help prevent fluctuations in plasma TNF-alpha.

Soy consumption alters endogenous estrogen metabolism
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National
Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the study to investigate whether Soy consumption alters endogenous estrogen metabolism in postmenopausal women, posted in PubMed, showed that Compared with the soy-free baseline and very low isoflavone control diet, consumption of 65 mg isoflavones increased the urinary 2/16alpha-(OH) estrone ratio, and consumption of 65 or 132 mg isoflavones decreased excretion of 4-(OH) estrone. When compared with baseline values, consumption of all three soy diets increased the ratio of 2/4-(OH) estrogens and decreased the ratio of genotoxic: total estrogens. These data suggest that both isoflavones and other soy constituents may exert cancer-preventive effects in postmenopausal women by altering estrogen metabolism away from genotoxic metabolites toward inactive metabolites.

How to Make Vietnamese Dipping Sauce for Vegetarians?
By
Lena Ho
Vietnamese dipping fish sauce is staple of Vietnamese cuisine.
But what about Vietnamese vegetarians, how to you fix up a good tasty
sauce for some Asian vegetarian dishes, some wonder? What would we use
as a dipping sauce? Here comes the answer: Soy Lime Dipping Sauce - Nuoc
Tuong Pha. This sauce is specifically used for the Vietnamese spring
rolls with mushroom and tofu, a version of spring rolls for vegetarians.
This sauce is also served for vegetarian dishes, and served to people
who prefer soy sauce over fish sauce.
Recipe for Soy Lime Dipping Sauce - Nuoc Tuong Pha
1 clove garlic
1 fresh Thai bird chili
2 1/2 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce, preferably Chinese style
2 - 2 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 cup water, or to taste
Cut the garlic and chilies into thin slices and place them in a mortar with sugar and pound into a paste. (You can also mince the garlic and chili by hand using a chef knife, make sure to mince it very well.) Transfer to a small bowl and add the soy sauce, lime juice and water. Stir until well blended. This sauce will keep up to 3 weeks if stored in the refrigerator in a tight lidded jar.
Makes about 1 cup

Soy isoflavones on estrogen and phytoestrogen metabolism
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National
Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the abstract of Effects of soy isoflavones on estrogen and phytoestrogen metabolism in premenopausal women, posted in PubMed, indicated that Compared with the control diet, increased isoflavone consumption decreased urinary excretion of estradiol, estrone, estriol, and total estrogens, as well as excretion of the hypothesized genotoxic estrogen metabolites, 16alpha-hydroxyestrone, 4-hydroxyestrone, and 4-hydroxyestradiol. Of importance are the observations of a significant increase in the 2-hydroxyestrone/16alpha-hydroxyestrone ratio and a decrease in the genotoxic/total estrogens ratio. These data suggest that soy isoflavone consumption may exert cancer-preventive effects by decreasing estrogen synthesis and altering metabolism away from genotoxic metabolites toward inactive metabolites.
