Various doses of soy isoflavones do not modify mammographic density in postmenopausal women
By Maskarinec et al. J. Nutr. 139: 98, 1–986, 2009 High mammographic densities confer a higher risk to develop breast cancer.

Discussion exists sometimes if soy isoflavones may protect against breast cancer as a result of their antiestrogenic activity or could be [...]
Soy isoflavone supplementation elevates erythrocyte superoxide dismutase, but not plasma ceruloplasmin in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors

Estrogenic activity of glycitein, a soy isoflavone
Tong T. Song, S. Hendrich and P.A. Murphy, J.Agric. Food Chem., 47,1607–1610, 1999. In most soy foods, genistein and daidzein account for about 80 – 90% of total isoflavones. In soy germ, the major isoflavones present are daidzein (45-60%) and glycitein (35-45%). In studies, the estrogenic activities of genistein and daidzein were reported to be [...]

Comparative bioavailability of isoflavone glucosides and aglycones in women
By Zheng Y, Lee S-O, Verbruggen MA, Murphy PA, Hendrich S. Apparent absorption of isoflavone glucosides and aglycones is similar in women and increased with rapid gut transit time and low fecal isoflavone degradation. Am. Society for Nutr. Sc. 5 (2004): 2534-2539. “Bioavailability” indicates to what extent active compounds are absorbed. In the case of [...]
Evaluation, in vivo on human subjects, of the anti-aging effect of SoyLife EXTRA versus placebo
Frutarom, by Dermscan Laboratoires, France, 2000. Skin aging occurs under intrinsic and extrinsic influences, such as changes in estrogen production and exposure to free radicals. During and after menopause, falling estrogen levels cause a decrease in general skin tone, wrinkles and sagging. Aging skin tissue typically stiffens and loses elasticity. SoyLife was incorporated in a [...]
