I'm not touting only soy polyphenols (see phytochemicals also) here but rather the healthful antioxidant properties which may be found in polyphenols in general. You have choices in this area between soybeans, grapes (whole red grapes, that is), and even in red wine (which, as you know, is made from red grapes). Although, it is in a less concentrated form in grapes and red wine. There are others, too. God provided abundant ways to nourish you through clean foods (i.e., natural foods).
It's ironic, there is controversy in the field of study about how relevant biomarkers are as predictors of disease risk but, polyphenols have been found to "clearly improve the status of different oxidative stress biomarkers" (Scalbert, Johnson, & Saltmarsch, 2005) as published in the supplemental issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Polyphenol rich plants and their extracts, too, have been used on a widespread basis as herbal remedies or medicinal agents in aiding the 'healing of wounds, burns and inflammations as they act to produce an impervious layer by which the natural processes of healing can happen' Dolara et al., 2001). They appear, also, to purify or cleanse the blood stream.
Don't expect pharmaceutical companies to do much in this area as success would defeat the profit-making motive of their existence which is ensured by the abundant side effects of their drugs and pills.
Eat well and be well!
