Health Benefits of Soy

Reduce Cholesterol and Heart Disease

Excess Cholesterol can build up on the walls of arteries and block the flow of blood to the heart, causing a heart attack. In 1999 FDA approved a heart health claim for soy protein, stating:
"25 grams of soy protein a day as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease."

Fight Osteoporosis

Both women and men suffer from bone loss and strength, but women do more so - especially after menopause. Several studies indicate that soy protein helps women maintain and even increase bone mass.

Resist Cancer

Statistics show a significant difference in cancer death rates between Asians and Americans.  Scientists are looking into whether soy plays a role - Asians eat nine times as much as Americans.

 Soy research continues, but what we have looks promising Especially when it's a part of a low-fat diet.
