Do I.M. Healthy SoyNut Butters provide health benefits peanut butter never can?
Soy contains a group of plant compounds (isoflavones: genistin, daidzin and glycitin) that peanuts do not have. These isoflavones are the substances in soy that may help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, kidney disease, prostate and breast cancer, and osteoporosis. They are also the compounds in soy responsible for cholesterol reduction, the reason the FDA granted certain soyfoods a heart-healthy label in 1999.
