What power does the soy base powers have?
Promote heart health and overall wellness with the super power of soy protein. Learn how to get your recommended daily dose of this super bean. The humble soybean boasts some extraordinary benefits. In 1999, the FDA approved a dietary health claim for soy foods, recommending an average daily intake of 25 grams of soy protein, with soy isoflavones, in addition to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, to reduce the risk of heart disease. This final rule is based on the FDA’s conclusion that foods containing soy protein included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of cardiac-heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol levels. One of the ways that soy seems to promote heart health is thanks to its high content of isoflavones.
