| What Makes Soy So Good For Me? |
Did you know that soy is a natural hormone balancer? Soy acts like a kinder and gentler natural source of estrogen in women and increases a person’s HDL cholesterol ( the so-called “good cholesterol”). The higher the HDL cholesterol the lower the risk of heart attacks.
A growing body of evidence shows that the humble legume’s beneficial component is the isoflavones. Experts say 30 to 50 milligrams of isoflavones a day is a sensible goal, so make sure the form of soy you are eating contains isoflavones. The alcohol extraction of soy protein concentrates and isolates used in some products can remove as much as 90% of the isoflavones.
