Soy products eaten in high levels may raise the risk of memory loss. Known as major alternative protein source to meat for many people in the developing world and promoted as “super food” in the west, some evidence show that soy may protect the brains of younger and middle-aged people from damage but their effect on the ageing brain is less clear. Latest study suggests phytoestrogens (promote growth among cells and high doses might promote the damage caused to cells by particles known as free radicals) – in high quantity – may actually heighten the risk of dementia. Better watch those nanny cameras closely if your nanny happens to be of the ageing bracket.
