DID YOU KNOW?
 All soy products (soybeans, soy nuts, tofu, tempeh, soy milk, etc.) are complete proteins.

Top Health Promoting Components

The top health promoting components in soy products include:

  • Isoflavones (genistein and daidzein) - Acts like human hormone; can lower LDL and raise HDL

  • Soluble fiber - forms a gel in the digestive tract that binds onto the bile, eliminating it with the bowel movement. Since bile contains cholesterol, and the bile is removed, the body must make more. To do so, it takes cholesterol out of the bloodstream.

Contraindications

Soy isoflavones are contraindicated in those who are hypersensitive to any component of a soy isoflavone-containing product.

WARNING: Soy isoflavone intake has been associated with hypothyroidism in some.

Precautions

Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid the use of soy isoflavone supplements pending long-term safety studies.

Men with prostate cancer should discuss the advisability of the use of soy isoflavones with their physicians before deciding to use them.

Women with estrogen receptor-positive tumors should exercise caution in the use of soy isoflavones and should only use them if they are recommended and monitored by a physician.
