How much is
enough soy?
 Soy and its powerful components called isoflavones have been given
credit for reducing hot flashes to preventing heart disease to lowering cholesterol
levels. Isoflavones are phytoestrogens, plant based estrogens. They have
been shown to help lower the risk of many human diseases, particularly those that are
hormone related.

Oh Boy, I Can't Believe It's Soy:
Over 100 Gourmet Recipes that Help Prevent Cancer,
Heart Disease and Alleviate Menopause
by Sanaa M. Abourezk
From the author, Sanaa Abourezk:
Soy-based cooking can be both healthy and delicious. Both before and after I wrote this
cookbook, "Oh Boy, I Can't Believe It's Soy," when I would mention the words,
"soy," or "tofu," people would make a face, or they would comment on
how bland even the word was. But as a nutritionist I had been reading new research on the
health benefits of soy beans and their by-products, such as tofu and soy vegetable protein
(which is in the freezer section of most supermarkets). What I have learned is that a soy
bean is nearly a miracle food. In its many forms, it helps prevent cancer, especially
breast cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and it alleviates the symptoms of
menopause.Find out more in the Joy
