Soy May Cause Memory Loss
People who eat high levels of some soy products, including tofu and other so-called superfoods, may be at an increased risk of memory loss.
Loughborough and Oxford scientists, funded by the Alzheimer's Research Trust, worked with Indonesian colleagues to investigate the effects of high soy consumption in 719 elderly Indonesians living in urban and rural regions of Java.
The researchers' findings, to be published in Dementias and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders later this month, include evidence that a high consumption of tofu is associated with worse memory.
