Ive heard so many good things about soy what are the benefits of soy in a diet?
Soy foods contain a phytonutrient called genistien. Genestien is thought to be responsible for a reduction in the rates of certain types of cancer in people with high soy diets. As well as soy plays an important roll in reducing the chances of developing cardiovascular disease by lowering the cholesterol levels. Recently the US FDA has stated that soy foods containing a minimum of 6.2 grams of soy protein per serving may carry a claim stating the relationship between soy protein and a reduction in the risk of developing heart disease.
