It's long been known that soy is beneficial to women in a number of ways, but new research from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center indicates the same is not true for men. In fact, a diet rich in soy isoflavones, especially through the use of soy supplements, can have marked influences on patterns of aggression and social behavior in men, reports HealthDayNews. Isoflavones, which are found in soy protein, are a naturally occurring plant estrogen.

For women, the benefits of a diet rich in soy are numerous. Soy can reduce the risk of various cancers, as well as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and some postmenopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes
