The Deal With… Soy

I was never really into Soy at first, I thought it had this really weird taste. The more I had it, the more I got used to it and now I actually crave soy foods!

So what’s the deal with soy? Well, soy is classified as having a lot of protein and they originated in China. It is low in saturated fat which is bad fat and polyunsaturated fat which is good fat and is cholesterol free. Soy can be consumed in many ways such as soy milk, cheese, beans, tofu and nuts. Soy has been accepted as a dietary source of protein and to ease and prevent sickness and diseases. It’s also organic, so its totally pesticide free as far as soy milk goes. I think soy milk is better than regular milk because of this, and I don’t feel as sick when I drink soy milk to regular milk. It it also said 25 grams of soy a day can prevent heart disease. There are some sources on the web that soy is dangerous, but it seems to me that if you don’t eat just purely soy foods, you should be fine. I mean, too much of something is not always a good thing, and you should always be cautious of what you consume to make sure of its freshness just like any other fruit or vegetable.
