The World of Soy
Soy foods are dairy free, lactose free, gluten free, low in fat, vegan safe, and kosher-DE, perfect for anyone with problems such as lactose intolerance. Therefore, soy can readily accommodate people with all kinds of dietary needs and attention. The variety of soy foods reaches such a degree that many scientists view soy as the next generation’s most promising diet staple.
Soy Facts
The Food and Drug Administration also approved a health claim for foods that contain at least 6.25 grams of soy, saying that, “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.” So if you are a member of a family with a history in heart disease or happen to have similar concerns, keep the phrase in mind whenever you are out shopping for safe and healthy products for your heart.
Soy for Your Health
All weight watchers out there: look out for soy and put soy foods in your grocery cart. Most soy foods have zero cholesterol, zero trans-fat, and are much lower in fat and calories compared to whole milk and flour products. For instance, soy veggie burgers are splendid substitutes for the everyday burger minus the unwanted calories and grease. Soy foods lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase your HDL (good) cholesterol and contain dietary fiber, high quality protein, iron, essential fatty acids, and other valuable nutrients. It should be noted that soy is the one and only source of all of the crucial amino acids with the right nutritional balance that is fit for the human body. It is undeniable that soy is impossible to imitate in its quality.
