What it is

Soybeans are legumes native to East Asia. They are a versatile crop grown for their edible beans, which can be processed into a wide variety of foods. Soybeans are a significant source of protein and oil.

Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy products. Research on the health effects of soy consumption, particularly concerning isoflavones, is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising questions, but evidence at typical dietary intakes is generally considered safe.
