Resumen

La soya y sus componentes las isoflavonas como la genisteína, daidzeína e ipriflavona son comercializados hoy en día por quienes ejercen la medicina alternativa con fines de promoción y prevención de enfermedades neoplásicas, osteoporosis, asociadas al climaterio y cardiovasculares. Diferentes publicaciones médicas presentan estudios realizados con el fin de confirmar sus beneficios farmacológicos a la luz del método científico. Aunque hay clara evidencia de sus efectos al interactuar con receptores esteroideos en el organismo humano, reconocidos por entidades como la Food and Drugs Administration de Estados Unidos, aún faltan estudios controlados para determinar su real impacto terapéutico; se deben mejorar los sesgos en las poblaciones analizadas y realizar más estudios dedicados a cada uno de los componentes de las isoflavonas por separado con el propósito de valorar su propio espectro terapéutico.
