America's #1 Natural Nutrition Company manufactures a soy protein
that retains the natural isoflavones that makes soy so valuable for health.
 
Why Soy?
 
  • Breast Cancer: major studies reveal that Asian women who eat soy foods are at a much lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who don't.  Other studies have shown that compounds in soy can inhibit grwoth of breast cancer cells.

 

  • Prostate Cancer: a major study of Japanese men in Hawaii found a direct correlation between soy (tofu) and lower rates of prostate cancer.  Studies of soy compounds have shown that they can inhibit growth of prostate cancer cells in laboratory cultures.

 

  • Colon Cancer: USA studies show that Americans eating soy as a regular part of their diet had significiantly lower rates of colon cancer than those who did not eat soy.

 

  • Lung Cancer: several studies have linked soy consumption to lower rates of lung cancer.

 

  • Kidney Disease: soy protein is easier on the kidneys than animal protein.  And soy may also slow down or prevent kidney damage in people with impaired kidney function.

 

  • Heart Health/Cholesterol Lowering: getting 25 grams of soy protein a day decreases your bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglyceride levels.

 

  • Antioxidant: soy foods contain antioxidants - compounds which protect cells from damage caused by "free radicals".  Free radicals are believed to be responsible for initiating many forms of cancer as well as premature aging.

 

  • Immunity: studies show that soybean peptides can boost the immune system helping the body to fight disease.

 

  •  
    Hip Fractures: hip fractures owing to osteoporosis are a major problem in the US.  Japanese women have one half the rate of hip fractures as US women.  Some studies suggest that soy may help retain bone mass.

 

  • Hot Flashes: half of all menopausal women in the US complain of hot flashes, a problems so rare in Japan that there's not even a word for it.  Some researchers believe that the phytoestrogens in soy help the Japanese women stay cooler.
