The absorption of some dietary components may be inhibited by dietary fiber. To study the effect of dietary fiber on the bioavailability of isoflavones, seven healthy women were randomly assigned in a crossover design to a control diet containing 15 g dietary fiber or a wheat fiber-supplemented diet containing 40 g dietary fiber, both fed with a single dose of 0.9 mg isoflavones/kg body weight from tofu or texturized vegetable protein (TVP). The fiber-rich diet produced 55% lower plasma genistein at 24 h after soy dosing (P < 0.05) and reduced total urinary genistein by 20% (P < 0.03). Urinary daidzein was not significantly related to fiber intake. Highly insoluble, dietary wheat fiber reduced the absorption of genistein probably by its bulking effect and hydrophobic binding to this compound. Urinary genistein was greater by 23% after tofu than after WP consumption (P < 0.02), but the percentage of ingested genistein recovered in urine was not affected by soy product intake. The higher urinary genistein after tofu consumption compared with TVP was apparently due to differences in amount of genistein between these soy foods, not the different forms of genistein present in these two soy food products.
