Research have found several plants to have phytoestrogens, but the most quantity can be found in soy bean products.  Health benefits range from reducing cancer cell activity in prostrate cancer and breast cancer to helping early postmenopausal women lower risk of bone loss.  Not to mention the new research this year on the protective benefits for young girls when older.

The isoflavone database collected by the Agricultural Research Service affiliated with the U.S. department of agriculture lists foods besides soy products comparatively.  The list measures the amount of isoflavones  as units of miligrams in 100 grams of edible weight.

You will notice that different soy products vary in amount of isoflavones.  The least processing provides the most such as raw seeds to the amount of over 100mg.  Whereas, some products may contain only a fraction such as soy frankfurters.
