Soya beans are extraordinary high in protein, well absorbed iron and calcium, B-complex vitamin and lecithin, a natural emulsifier of fats which helps keep cholesterol levels low.
Soya beans turn up in a number of different disguises, as flour, in the form of milk as a substitute for dairy kind, sprouted or fermented to produce a number of staples in Chines cookery, all becoming familiar in the West, miso, shoyu and tofu.
They also turn up disguised as meat and are used as a substitute in pies, sausages and casseroles.
In our view, this is a long way from what their healthy eating or the enjoyment of food if about.



It may not be as healthy to rely heavily on soya as many people suggest, reports indicate that they contain a thyroid-depressing element.
Eat soya beans in moderation, therefore, if you want to benefit from their very real nutritional bonuses.
