Soy facts from Soyfoods USA

Researchers from Tulane University say adding soy to your diet can improve levels of good cholesterol. They studied 150 men and women between the ages of 35 and 65 with normal cholesterol levels. For 12 weeks, half of the participants received a soy supplement every day while the other half received a carbohydrate placebo. At the end of the study, those receiving soy showed nearly a 5 percent increase in their "good" cholesterol levels when compared to the control group. Jiang He, M.D., Ph.D., from Tulane University says, "When 40 grams of soy protein were added to the daily diet of a group of men and women with normal lipid profiles, their levels of 'good' high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol increased, while their levels of 'bad' low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol were not significantly affected." Previous studies show soy has a significant benefit on people who have high cholesterol levels, but this study shows those benefits also expand to people with normal cholesterol levels. Soy protein contains all the essential amino acids found in animal protein. Dr. He says, "Most bean proteins are good for health. However, soybean protein is the only one that has been documented to affect cholesterol levels by clinical trials." The results of the study were presented at the Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention conference held in San Antonio, Texas.

Just-food.co
A feature at just-food.com explains that 2000 new soy products have been launched over the past 10 years, with sales exceeding $2.5 billion in the US. The article states that soy food's rising popularity is largely due to its health benefits, endorsed by the FDA and the American Heart Association. Research shows that soy can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, osteoperosis, cancer and diabetic, kidney disease.http://www.just-food.com/features_detail.as

American Journal of Epidemiology
In the American Journal of Epidemiology 2001:153:1206-1212, it was reported that eating lots of tofu may reduce levels of lead in the blood, new study findings suggest. Researches are not exactly sure how tofu lowers lead levels, but they suspect that calcium in the soy-based food may keep the body from absorbing and retaining lead.Exposure to high levels of lead can cause decreased intelligence, impaired nervous system development, stunted growth, hearing abnormalities and learning disabilities.http://www.aje.oupjournals.org/content/vol153/issue12/Abstract:

HatchomisoExtract:MISO'S outstanding medicinal qualities have been confirmed by scientific research. In 1965, scientists at Japan's National Cancer Research Center found that those who regularly eat miso soup suffer significantly less from some forms of cancer and heart disease. In 1972 researchers discovered an alkaloid in miso that discharges heavy metals from the body. Considered an important medicinal food, its daily use is credited with numerous health benefits, including lowering cholesterol, alkalinizing the blood, neutralizing the effects of smoking and environmental pollution, and helping to prevent radiation sickness. http://www.cjn.or.jp/hatchomiso/index-j.html
