The isoflavone content in the soya bean varieties range from 1.2-3.8 mg/g seed depending on the variety, growing conditions and planting season.
In Asia, where the intake of soya products (rich in isoflavones=phytoestrogens) is relatively high, the incidence of so-called ‘Western’ diseases, such as breast, endometrium, colon and prostate cancer is very low.
A lot of studies are at present being conducted to clarify the effects of isoflavones on health.
