With polyphenol research rapidly growing, there remains a surprising lack of clinical and epidemiological evidence of their suggested protective effects as well as persistent questions about their safety. A vital class of polyphenols, phytoestrogens are believed to protect against several forms of cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, osteoporosis, and menopausal symptoms. This pioneering book integrates into a single source all aspects of the outstanding research at the forefront of phytoestrogen study regarding the scientific, technical, and practical aspects of the production, consumption, and safety of these significant, though at times controversial, compounds in food.
