Soy contains unique bioflavonoids with an isoflavone structure, like genistein and daidzen, which have estrogen-like effects in the human body.
Research done in the United States and Australia suggests potential benefits of soy isoflavones on healthy post-menopausal women. However, the benefits of soy on cognition have not materialized in some studies, with some research finding no benefit for cognitive function when soy isoflavones were given to women.
