I have heard soy protein raise estrogen levels, is this true? Does soy have a good amino acid profile?

I know that soy has phyto-oestrogens in it and is sometimes used in post-menopausal women to promote bone density, usually in addition to HRT.

I have heard soy is one of the few natural compounds that is known to raise estrogen levels.
