Soy Foods Linked to Improved Cognitive Performance in Children

New research suggests isoflavones in soy products may enhance attention and processing speed among school-aged kids.

Study involved 128 children aged 7 to 13, recording their soy intake and cognitive abilities.
Higher soy consumption correlated with faster response times and quicker information processing.
Isoflavones, found in soybeans, tofu, and soy milk, are the key nutrients linked to cognitive benefits.
Researchers emphasize that these findings are preliminary and further intervention studies are needed.
Soy foods are not commonly part of children's diets in the United States, despite potential benefits.
