Soy isoflavones

I'm trying to do this whole NBE thing without taking stuff internally, but I'm beginning to think that maybe taking some soy isoflavones wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm thinking these would be mild enough not to cause any kind of side effects for me (such as acne, which I just recently got under control). Has anyone out there taken soy isoflavones, and if so, did they seem to help with growth?

Soy is good for the health of the breast for sure. Those that eat soy have less breast cancer and this is clearly shown when you compare the soy consumption in each country to the incidence of breast cancer.

I am interested in soy too. Can anyone recommend a suitable soy supplement? They don't seem to be available in every health food store.

Just keep in mind that even though Asian cultures seem to have lower instances of cancers, i would not attribute that to the soy intake. Their intake is <36 g of soy per day. They do not eat soy burgers and textured soy protein, and all this other 'americanized' soy foods we have here now. These soy foods have WAY MORE grams of soy per serving than the small amts ingested in a typical asian diet.

I would be very careful in the amt of soy taken in everyday.

Soy is in practically EVERYTHING packaged as well. Soy isolate protein- everywhere.
