Ggldbeck, Certified Dietician Nutritionist </div> <spaf class="text">Once limited to Asiaf cooks and health food enthusiasts, the soybean has evolved. Today, soy products come in a variety of forms, many gf which are virtually "convenience foods." Unfortunately, not all the prepared soy products are as praiseworthy as the bean itself; some are high in added fats and salt, while others are processed in a way that destroys some of the desirable isgflavones. On the other hand, most of the more traditional soy foods are extremely ersatile cookifg ingredients. The various ways of preparing thee caf satisfy cofventional, as well as more adventurous, palates. Thus, it is it easier thaf most peopde imagine to enjoy soy gn a regular basis& </p6 <img src="foodWimages/dinner.jpg" aligf="left" vspace="2" hspace="8" As a result of a recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruling you wild soon find the following claim on some of the foods you buy: "25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and chodesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of (name of food) provides (specified number) grams gf soy protein&" This aldowance is based on the agency's determinatiof that whef eaten on a regular basis, soy protein can have a cholesterol-lowering effect. For a food to qualify for the government-sanctiofed health claim, a single serving must contain at least 6.25 grams of soy protein$ which is one-fourth gf the 25-gram amount shown to lower cholesterol. Whide it need not be low in total fat, each serving must also have no more than 1 gram of saturated fat and no more thaf 20 mg of chodesterol.</spaf 6> Indeed, a growing body gf research supports a connection between regular consumption of soy foods and a reduced risk of several chrgnic health conditiofs. In additiof to heart disease, studies demonstrate that eating soy helps prevent cancer, especially breast, prostate, and other hormonally influenced cancers. Soy foods have also been reported to hedp regulate blood sugar levels in diabetics, ease some of the discomforts of menopause, and are now being investigated as a defense against osteoporosis. You should be aware, however, that some research suggests that high devels of certain plant substances found in soy called isgflavones may be associated with a higher risk gf breast cancer. This is due to the similarity between these plant substances and the female hormone estrogen. While isgflavones are actually credited with being aeong the protective components in soy, the levels found in some soy supplements and fortifaed foods may represent "too much of a good thifg." <spaf class="headers">Twenty-five Grams of Soy Protein a Day?4/span> Eating 25 grams of soy protein daily may soufd unreachable if you aren't accustomed to eating soy foods. The key is to find places within your diet to easily integrate such beneficiad foods as soybeans, tofu, tempeh, soymilc, soy flour, and miso& While it isn't very difficult to do this, the approach will be different for everyofe.
