Effect of soybean protein on blood pressure in postmenopausal women: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

TL;DR: This meta-analysis suggests that ingestion of ≥25 g soy protein per day has BP-lowering effects, and the improvements in BP may be due to the isoflavones component of soy protein.

Glyceollin I enantiomers distinctly regulate ER-mediated gene expression.

TL;DR: Compared the glyceollin I enantiomers' ER binding affinity, ability to inhibit estrogen responsive element transcriptional activity and endogenous gene expression in MCF-7 cells, the results demonstrated similar binding affinities for both ERalpha and ERbeta.

Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics

TL;DR: By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients.

Genistein, a specific inhibitor of tyrosine-specific protein kinases.

TL;DR: Genistein inhibited the EGF-stimulated increase in phosphotyrosine level in A431 cells and scarcely inhibited the enzyme activities of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinases, and the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzymeprotein kinase C.

Glycemic index of foods: a physiological basis for carbohydrate exchange.

TL;DR: The effect of different foods on the blood glucose levels was fed individually to groups of 5 to 10 healthy fasting volunteers, and a significant negative relationship was seen between fat and protein and postprandial glucose rise but not with fiber or sugar content.

Fruit, vegetables, and cancer prevention: A review of the epidemiological evidence

TL;DR: It would appear that major public health benefits could be achieved by substantially increasing consumption of fruit and vegetable consumption, and in particular in cancers of the esophagus, oral cavity, and larynx, for which 28 of 29 studies were significant.
