December 10, 2009The soy bean was first discovered in China where it has been cultivated for some 5000 years. It is a staple food in the Far East and is referred to as the meat of the soil due to its high protein content.
Soy is alkaline. That is your first clue as to how wonderful this product is!
People who once snubbed soy are realizing what eastern cultures have known since ancient time: it is a genuine miracle food. Recent studies show that certain compounds called isoflavones- which are found exclusively in soy- can lower cholesterol levels, relieve symptoms of menopause, prevent osteoporosis and fend off some forms of cancer. Soy is low in saturated fat and high in protein, as well as packed with important minerals like calcium and iron.
Soy supplies all of the essential amino acids that the human body needs. Soy can mimic or counter the effects of estrogen. Because soy isoflavones have certain estrogenic effects, women and researchers have looked to soy as a possible alternative to standard hormone replacement therapy. Harvard also cites a study showing an increase in bone mineral content and density after postmenopausal women took an isoflavone-rich soy preparation.
In a study of Asian-Americans, increased tofu (soy) consumption was significantly associated with decreased breast cancer risk.
Soy is used in baby formula, but beware! The soy that is being used in baby formula is genetically engineered, which means toxins are in this soy. Make sure it says “organic”.
Remember our P-RNA SOLUTION is made of soy.
Clinical trials, animal studies, cell-culture experiments and epidemiological studies have provided evidence for the following physiological effects of genistein:
- Reducing symptoms of allergic asthma.
- Strengthening bone due to estrogen deficiency, especially in the spine.
- Production of nerve cells from damage caused by hormone shortages and Alzheimer’s proteins.
- Breast enlargement
- Inhibition of growth and spread of various cancers, including cancer of the ovaries, colon, prostate, thyroid, skin, and head and neck, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, malignant melanoma, certain types of leukemia and lung cancers.
- Counteracting the effects of the deltaf508 mutation that causes cystic fibrosis.
- Lowering body fat.
- Improving insulin responses to blood sugar.
- Lowering total cholesterol and LDL levels, increasing HDL levels.
- Decreasing symptoms of Raynaud’s disease.
- Inhibiting growth of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels.
- Increasing arterial elasticity, lowering high blood pressure
- Preventing aging effects of UV light on skin.
- Enhancing the bioavailability of many hard-to-absorb substances.
