SOY PROTECTION
Soy can be found in all types of foods these days from Starbucks soy milk cappuccino, soy burgers, soy cheese and soy waffles. Soy products are now CONSUMED BY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC MORE THAN EVER BEFORE.
Soy is a plant protein that was originally cultivated in China; today the United States is the number one producer of soybeans in the world.
Soybeans are known for their nutritional attributes:
PROTEIN: Compared to all other beans, SOYBEANS HAVE THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF PROTEIN; AND THE PROTEIN IN SOY IS OF THE SAME NUTRITIONAL QUALITY AS THE PROTEIN FOUND IN MILK AND BEEF -- AND IS EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL FOR HUMAN PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS.
DIETARY FIBER: Soybeans and other soybean products such as SOY FLOUR AND TEMPEH ARE EXCELLENT SOURCES OF DIETARY FIBER; HOWEVER TOFU AND SOYMILK CONTAIN A VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF DIETARY FIBER.
VITAMINS & MINERALS Soybeans and soy products are RICH IN CALCIUM, COPPER, MAGNESIUM AND B VITAMINS SUCH AS FOLIC ACID.
FAT & CHOLESTEROL: SOY IS LOW IN FAT AND SATURATED FAT AND RICH IN ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (ESPECIALLY LINOLEIC ACID [LA]AN OMEGA-6 FATTY ACID). SOYBEANS DON'T CONTAIN ANY CHOLESTEROL Cholesterol is FOUND ONLY IN ANIMAL PRODUCTS and soy is a source of plant protein.
PHYTOCHEMICALS: Soybeans contain a variety of phytochemicals (or phytoestrogens), naturally occurring chemicals snythesized in plants that have been proven to have a profound effect on human health.
Soy foods are the only food with nutrionally significant amounts of one type of phytochemical known as isoflavones. The three major isoflavones found in soy are genistein, daidzein and glycitein.
Soybeans have been widely researched for their health protective benefits; studies have shown that including soy in our diet may help protect against HEART DISEASE, CANCER AND OSTEOPOROSIS. Research continues to show other beneficial effects that soy offers to our general well being.
