There is no evidence that soy isolates damage the liver. Soy isolates are a concentrated form of protein made from defatted soy flakes. They are often used in protein shakes and bars. There is some research that suggests that soy may help protect the liver. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings. If you have liver disease, you should talk to your doctor or dietitian before adding soy to your diet.
