| Recently soy has
been gaining recognition and consequently considerable popularity as we learn more about
its potential health fostering benefits. In October of 1999 the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) even approved the use of the "Heart Healthy" claim on Soy
protein products. After a thorough review of the scientific literature they found that
diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of Soy
protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease (which causes more than 950,000 deaths
of American men and women annually). The reduced risk is attained as a result of Soy's
apparent ability to lower LDL (bad) blood cholesterol without decreasing HDL (good) cholesterol
levels. It is important to note that this effect may only be acquired with consistent,
adequate consumption of Soy. Fortunately 25 grams a day is all that seems to be
necessary. Since the FDA passed this judgment other organizations have been expressing
their endorsements of Soy as well. A coronary care and research facility called the
Cleveland Clinic has recently expressed their enthusiasm about the potential benefits of
regular Soy
consumption. Also "The Dietary Guidelines Advisory committee - established by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to make recommendations for the 2000 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans - has declared that soymilk is on a par with cow's milk as a
calcium source" (Soy Continues,40). While this is all very impressive, there is so
much more to Soy. It is also an excellent source of Fiber, Iron, B-Vitamins, Zinc and
Essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids.Many individual elements in Soy that
have also peaked interest include lignins, coumestans, saponins, plant sterols, phytates
and protease inhibitors, but the components receiving the most attention are
phytoestrogens (naturally occurring plant estrogens) most commonly called Soy
Isoflavones. |
