Soy Foods

  • Soy foods are made from the soy bean, a plant with a high protein content. Soy foods can be used to imitate dairy products, and are often used as a protein source in place of meat or fish.
  • Health Benefits

    Soy can decrease LDL (so-called "bad" cholesterol). Some studies have indicated that it may protect against cancer, but others refute that claim.
  • Health Risks

    Soy is one of the "big eight" foods that cause 90% of food allergy reactions (the other seven being peanuts, wheat, dairy, seafood, shellfish, tree nuts, and eggs). Soy products have also been implicated in male infertility.
