Background. 1  This fact sheet focuses on the use of soy by adults for health purposes. 2  Soy, a plant in the pea family, has been common in Asian diets for thousands of years. 3  Soy products are used for menopausal symptoms, bone health, improving memory, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels.
Soy has become a common ingredient in foods. It's also a common cause of food allergy. Soy comes from soybeans, which are in the legume family (along with beans, lentils, peas, and peanuts). Some people are allergic to just one type of legume; others are allergic to more than one. Allergy to soy is more common in infants and kids than teens and adults, but can develop at any age. When someone is allergic to soy, the body's immune system, which normally fights infections, overreacts to proteins in soy.
