Cooking with Soy

A lot of people mention soy milk, reading the pack this is 5% soy and the rest water. Does tofu or the actual soy bean have the same booby benefit? How about soy milk yoghurt? The soy beans - would dry or forzen beans be ok? I read somewhere that isoflavones are easily denatured so a lot of processed soy has no isoflavones - would it be good to take isoflavone supplements (similar to PM)

I have read a thread in TW forum about girls got growth from isoflavones caps, but that thread didn't get too many responses, so I have never tried.
About tofu, most common way to make it is to add in gesso in soy milk, gesso is pretty cold I think, but rich in calcium, maybe by adding some hot spicies when cooking would balance it, wouldn't be my first choice for NBE, it is healthy, though.
I used to use dried soy beans to make soy milk, now I just use soy powder for convienance, but I would add a little ginger powder in it, cause soy is kinda "cold".

Soy milk is such an easy thing to take - just use instead of cow's milk.
