Great News! Soy Comes in "Yummy"

Find out which ones meet your needs and taste

Women have a new reason to try soy: Research suggests that soy helps keep arteries healthy after menopause. For men, soy may help ward off prostate cancer.

Easiest way to get soy? We vote for vanilla soy milk. Look for fortified brands with calcium and vitamin D at about the same levels as dairy milk: 300 mg calcium, 100 IU vitamin D per 8-oz glass. Here's what Prevention staffers said about their four favorites. (Nutritional data is for one 8-oz serving.)
