Soy beans are rich in phytoestrogens, a subclass of a group of antioxidants known as isoflavones. The chemical structure of phytoestrogens is very similar to that of the human sex hormone estrogen phytoestrogen literally means plant estrogen. The similarity of the structures allows phytoestrogens to sometimes mimic or inhibit the hormone in animals with estrogen receptors (i. E. Mammals). Because they can interact with estrogen receptors, phytoestrogens have the potential to play a role in any biological process that involves estrogen. In very high doses, soy may cause some reversible sexual disruption in men, but in normal ranges, soy consumption appear to be safe and may offer health benefits.
