Is Soya Bean good for you?

Soybeans have been found to be a storehouse of phytochemicals, beneficial antioxidant nutrients, such as saponins, phytosterols and phenolic acids, which all protect the body from free radical damage.
They are also a great source of iron, calcium and potassium.

So in health and nutrition what are Soybeans therapeutic properties?.
They will help counter heart disease, and can substantially lower blood cholesterol. In tests 8-16% over several weeks.
It can also prevent bowel diseases>
It can relieve menopausal symptoms. My wife has just started taking Soya and suffers from hot flushes so it will be interesting to see if she benefits in any way. I will keep you posted.
Soya may also have some anti-cancer activity, in particular breast cancer. Women who regularly eat Soya will find that their blood oestrogen level falls.

If you have had any experience of Soya I would be interested to know, please post your comments.
