Soybean is well-recognized for its food value because of its high protein content. Soy consumption reduces the risk of developing breast, prostate and/or colon cancer. It reduces total cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels. Soy diet reduces the risk of coronary thrombosis and heart attack. Soy diet increases bone density and prevents osteoporosis. Soy isoflavones reduce postmenopausal hot flushes as well. Soybean and its food products are being basically consumed as nutritional supplements all over the world. Soybean consists of essential amino acids, fibers, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, isoflavone content and minerals. It possesses immuno-modulator, anti-viral, antidiabetic and nootropic activity. Numerous mechanisms have been suggested for these therapeutic effects, which include modulation of estrogen receptors, antioxidant activity, protein tyrosine kinase inhibition and prevention of proliferation of cells.
