hi Rich,
from Dr. John Lee's book (What your Doctor does not tell you about breast cancer)...Genistein is higher for fermented soy such as natto, tempeh and miso.. for all other type of soy products Genistein is lower and also have more of the less beneficial components.

So, it seems it is a matter of choosing the fermented soy products to get benefit from it Genistein and avoiding all unferemented soy products (specially whole soya bean and soy bean oil)

just my few cents worth..
