I first became interested in soy twenty-three years ago. I conduct clinical trials relating soy in the diet to hyperlipidemia and prostate cancer. Soy reduces cholesterol.
Soy acts as an antioxidant.
Soy modulates hormone production. Yes, I try to include about 45 grams of soy protein in my diet each day. However, the Hickory Smoke Flavor of the meat alternatives is not my favorite. I recommend that those new to soy start with soy milk and soy meat alternatives such as soy burgers, soy sausage, soy cold cuts. Then, they can begin to experiment with tofu.
