Soyfoods are rich in high quality protein, low in fat, carbohydrates and sodium, and cholesterol-free. They are also a good source of iron and B-vitamins. In addition to being nutritionally sound, soyfoods can actually improve your health. Replacing meat with soy protein can cut cholesterol levels by as much as 20% in only a month. Studies confirm that soyfoods lower your risk of several types of cancer, including breast, colon, lung and prostate cancers. Soyfoods can also ease or eliminate the hot flashes associated with menopause.
