Soy beans are also chock full of isoflavones, a vegetable compound that mimics estrogen in the body. Isoflavones work much like antioxidants and are suspected to be helpful in lowering the risk of hormonally-linked forms of cancer, such
as breast and ovarian cancer. Every cup of soy beans provides 200 mg of isoflavones.
Soy protein powder is another popular way to increase your soy consumption. Most soy protein powders are low in fat, which makes it easier for those watching their fat consumption. One scoop of protein powder delivers 23 grams of protein but only half a gram of unsaturated fat.
