Objective

Given the potential benefits that phytoestrogen (PE) intakes in the range of 60-100 mg/d may have on cardiovascular risk, cancer risk and osteoporosis prevention, new means of increasing PE consumption in Europe are being explored. This proposal will lead to the establishment of a pan-European network of institutions dealing with safety and health effects of phytoestrogens, identification of optimal sources and processing technologies, building around a cluster of three EU funded RTD projects. The project envisages the organisation of scientific meetings, preparation of consensus papers, fact sheet for regulators, producers and consumers, on-line communication with all stakeholders, i.e. scientists, product manufacturers, consumers targeted to receive products, and regulatory authorities guaranteeing that benefits will overcome risks will be represented.
