Phytoestrogens like soy and red clover isoflavones pose no safety issues with regards to heart health and breast cancer risk, according to a new meta-analysis from Austria.
Compounds such as genistein, naringenin, kaempferol, and lignans such as enterodiol and enterolactone, were not linked to increased incidence of adverse events, according to an analysis of 92 randomised controlled trials with almost 10,000 participants published in The American Journal of Medicine.

Happy World Vegetarian Day, the start of Vegetarian Awareness Month.
We'll mark it here with a consideration of soy, a food formerly known as healthful that's been getting a lot of grief. Much of it is undeserved and comes via Web misinformation, including claims it causes breast cancer, developmental delays, Alzheimer's and man boobs. Yuck. And not true.
Soy may not be the cholesterol-busting miracle we thought it was a decade ago, and it is a major allergen (along with wheat, nuts, dairy, meat, eggs and seafood). But if you're not allergic to it, take a page from Asia, where soy has been a staple for thousands of years.
Asians tend to be leaner, longer-lived and healthier than we are. One difference is how they soy. They consume it in moderation; we make entire meals out of it. Megadosing on anything, whether it's soy, fries or broccoli, isn't smart.
