 Benefits of a soy protien diet
Although including soy in your diet can be beneficial to maintaining a healthy body, studies have shown that combining the use of soy with other foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains, low-fat meats, and fish is more beneficial than a diet that consists largely of only soy products.
Because soy products can now be found in many supermarkets and health food stores, chefs are taking advantage of their availability and have devised clever ways to uses these products.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently stated that soy food manufacturers can promote the health benefits of soy on their packaging and the American Heart Association has encouraged people with high cholesterol levels to add more soy to their diet, showing that the medical community believes in the benefits that soy can provide.
