Is there a recommended soyfood intake?
• The FDA-approved health claim for soy protein reads “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.” The soy protein content of soy foods varies from as little as 1-2 grams per serving to 18-20 grams per serving. On average, one can obtain 25 grams of soy protein by consuming four servings of soy foods that display the soy health claim on the front panel. Products that carry the health claim on the label contain at least 6.25 grams of soy protein per serving.
