As phytoestrogens, soy isoflavones have two important effects. First, when estrogen levels are high, phytoestrogens can block the more potent forms of estrogen produced by the body and may help prevent hormone-driven diseases, such as breast cancer. Second, when estrogen levels are low, as they are after menopause, phytoestrogens can substitute for the body's own estrogen, possibly reducing hot flashes and preserving bones. Soy isoflavones may also have antioxidant and anticoagulant effects.

Research indicates that soybean products help protect against heart disease by lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and significantly increasing HDL ("good") cholesterol. Soy seems most effective in people with high cholesterol levels. Soy products may also inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, the first step in the accumulation of artery-clogging plaque. In addition, laboratory studies show the genistein in soy helps prevent blood clots from forming. Preliminary studies indicate that regular consumption of soy foods or supplements may protect against cancers of the breast, prostate, and endometrium.
