Soy protein powder and isolated or concentrated soy protein-based processed foods don't promote health. Because the amino acid distribution of soy protein powders is very similar to that of animal protein and is highly concentrated, such powders can increase IGF-1 levels too much, which is not helpful in preventing or treating cancer. Eating edamame or tempeh and using dried soybeans in soups and stews are the most favorable and protective ways to utilize soy. Tofu and soymilk have the fiber of the bean removed, and though they may still have benefits, they don't have as much anticancer potential. Using the whole beans, along with other beans, lentils, and peas, offers more potential protection. [2020] - Joel Fuhrman
