- hmm. so the current theory is that soy is great for the young and middle aged, but perhaps should taper off as you get older. until the next theory comes out, anyway.

From the page: "Eating high levels of some soy products - including tofu - may raise the risk of memory loss, research suggests.
"The study focused on 719 elderly Indonesians living in urban and rural regions of Java.
The researchers found high tofu consumption - at least once a day - was associated with worse memory, particularly among the over-68s."

- Very interesting information regarding soy at certain ages. All seems rather uncertain however.

Soy products are rich in micronutrients called phytoestrogens, which mimic the impact of the female sex hormone oestrogen.
There is some evidence that they may protect the brains of younger and middle-aged people from damage - but their effect on the ageing brain is less clear.
The latest study suggests phytoestrogens - in high quantity - may actually heighten the risk of dementia.
