found this to be noteworthy(wonder if it's the same for men):

The calcium-losing effect of animal protein on the human body is not a matter of controversy in scientific circles. Researchers who conducted a recent survey of diet and hip fractures in 33 countries said they found “an absolutely phenomenal correlation” between the percentage of plant foods in people’s diets, and the strength of their bones. The more plant foods people eat (particularly fruits and vegetables), the stronger their bones, and the fewer fractures they experience. The more animal foods people eat, on the other hand, the weaker their bones and the more fractures they experience.

Similarly, in January 2001, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a study that reported a dramatic correlation between the ratio of animal to vegetable protein in the diets of elderly women and their rate of bone loss. In this seven-year study funded by the National Institutes of Health, more than 1,000 women, ages 65 to 80, were grouped into three categories: those with a high ratio of animal to vegetable protein, a middle range, and a low range. The women in the high ratio category had three times the rate of bone loss as the women in the low group, and nearly four times the rate of hip fractures.

Might this have been due to other factors than the ratio of animal to vegetable protein? According to the study’s lead author, Deborah Sellmeyer, M.D., Director of the Bone Density Clinic at the University of California, San Francisco, Medical Center, researchers found this to be true even after adjusting for age, weight, estrogen use, tobacco use, exercise, calcium intake, and total protein intake. “We adjusted for all the things that could have had an impact on the relationship of high animal protein intake to bone loss and hip fractures,” Sellmeyer said. “But we found the relationship was still there.”

very, very interesting(more from that link):

While the anti-soy crusaders have been claiming, based on this single isolated study, that soy causes a decrease in cognitive function, students at Bay Point Schools in South Miami-Dade County, Florida, have been having a very different experience. This is an alternative year-round residential public school for students 13 to 18. Most of the kids are sent to this school by the court system after committing offenses. Many come from the streets, and their academic achievement typically is low. But many of them are finding an experiment with vegetarianism could be the recipe for success. The school’s culinary arts program challenges the kids to be vegans for a month, and the achievements have been stunning, with students in the program reporting boosts in both their grades and their energy. “I came in here with a 1.6 (grade-point average). That’s not even a passing grade. At this point I’ve got a 3.4,” said Willie Williams, who admits that at first he was skeptical of the tofu. But Willie, who plays both basketball and football, soon noticed an improvement both in the classroom and on the court and field. “I’m considering doing this for a long time, just make it a constant thing,” he says. He’s not alone. Kovanic Capron, 17, saw his grade point average improve from 3.1 to 3.9. The brain-boosting powers of soy were evident in that not a single one of the students enrolled in the program scored below 85 on the final exam. And the students say that eating this way has them devouring the competition in school sports. “I used to get tired when I ran laps or lifted weights,” said Gabriel Saintvil, 18. “Now I get endurance and keep on doing it.”
