[edit] Not so shiny
Why none even bothers to even mention the bad side pf phytoestrogens in males infants and pre-menstrual women. it seems that "reduce cholesterol prevent cancer and anti oxidative properties are found in damm near everything that some shady "health experts" advertise..... pfft. I can't belive wikipedia has fell for this medieval mentality instead of finding out the truth.
Oh great Anonymous bearer of The Truth, if you would like more information on the potential health risks of Phytoestrogens, you could start by reading the page on phytoestrogen under the Health Risks section. --Idurey 19:29, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Any company that tries to market soy as preventing cancer will get in trouble with the FDA; the FDA has not nor will ever award soy GRAS status. Actually, soy causes cancer as will be seen in the phytoestrogen article Idurey references. --Nibblet 00:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Genistein vs. phytoestrogens
This article makes quite a few seemingly contradictory statements. This may be in part because of conflicting research results, but may also be because the article conflates the effects of genistein with those of phytoestrogens in general. Citations to research directly related to genistein are badly needed, and comments about phytoestrogens in general should probably be taken out and/or moved to the article on phytoestrogens.-- Ed (Edgar181) 13:09, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tamoxifen
That's in one of my quotations and it begs the question: "Who paid for your research?", and "Is it replicated?".

[edit] Coherence
I'm not sure that I can paint a coherent picture of what genistein does in a summary. Hmmm. Maybe I can just scan all the headlines in a pubmed search, probably about 6000 hits or three hours. BrewJay (talk) 22:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
