Soy supplements show no diabetes benefit in study

Another bad day for soy. (e.g., see here, here and here)

Adding soy supplements to the diet may not improve blood sugar control in older women who are at high risk of or in the early stages of type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests.

The findings, reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, add to the conflicting body of research on soy and diabetes risk.

Lab research has suggested that soy proteins and soy isoflavones -- "phytoestrogen" compounds that are structurally similar to human estrogen -- may help control blood sugar levels. But so far, the few small clinical trials that have been done have reached different conclusions as to whether soy foods or soy-protein supplements are beneficial to people with diabetes.
