Kids Who Eat Foods with Soy More Focused at School
- American researchers presented findings that school-aged children who consumed more soy isoflavones showed better thinking and attention at the 2025 American Society for Nutrition meeting.
- The study analyzed existing data from 128 children aged seven to 13 because the effects of soy isoflavones on children’s cognition have not been deeply studied before.
- The children involved in the research had a daily isoflavone intake of approximately 1.33 mg, a relatively low amount that is in line with typical consumption levels reported in the United States.
- A neuroscience doctoral student highlighted that previous research has not investigated the relationship between soy isoflavone intake and attention skills through EEG or comparable brain activity measurements, emphasizing that correlational research represents an initial phase of study.
- These findings suggest a potential link between soy intake and improved attention in children, but further research is needed to establish causation and underlying mechanisms.
