For Americans looking for a diet plan that provides protection against a multitude of diseases and condi tions, there is good news. There is a single food source that supplies generous amounts of essential nu trients in addition to being a healthful source of anti-cancer compounds. It’s soybeans. In essence, the food we think of mostly as “feed” would be better served on our own plates, and with good reason. Soyfoods are high in vitamins, especially B vitamins, contain the fit tty acids essential to human health, and have the same or more soluble fiber as oat bran. In addition, soybeans are high in folic acid, which prevails birth defects; and are high in lysine, iron, calcium, and zinc. They are also the only vege table that contains “complete” protein. Soybeans supply all eight amino acids needed for human health, and because they are a plant food, they contain no choles terol. “Evidence from dietary studies shows, time and again, the vast health benefits of eating soy,” says Dr. Mark Messina, a leading au CORP DLY BUILT FOR MANY E FREE SERVICE This Is lugged Speed Corn, Exhaust Fans Including Efficient Belt Drive Unite With Houelng And Shutter 30 * 36 " And 48” 12$, King Court/ Hollander Rd.

First- through third-place prizes of $4O, $3O and $2O will be awarded. The judged show includes traditional classes as well as “fun classes,” including best tricks, best costume and wag giest tail. * Kid’s Place The kids will have lots of fun with face painters, clowns, a petting barnyard and hands-on demonstrations provid thority in the field of soyfoods and cancer prevention and a lecturer for “The Soy Connection,” a sem inar for dietitians sponsored by the Maryland Soybean Board in March. The Maryland Soybean Board administers funds from the soy bean checkoff, which sets aside a portion of the sale of each bushel of soybeans for research, market ing and educational activities such as the seminar. In addition to the more-familiar nutrients mentioned above, soy beans also are chock full of a new class of food substances called “phytochemicals.” Phytochemicals are compon ents of plant foods that are not nu trients but do affect health. They ate one of the reasons why the Na tional Cancer Institute now re commends five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. One of the best known phyto chemicals is “beta carotene,” which has been widely publicized as an anti-cancer agent Soyfoods can go one better. One phyto chemical unique to soybeans is being researched as a potential new anti-cancer drug, and Mes sina says studies show that just Contact Us For Literature Or The Dealer Nearest You!

While it is not yet fully under stood how soyfoods can effect such a positive change in health, clinical studies and observations of countries where soyfoods are a regular part of the diet bear out the anti-disease claim. For example, a study in Japan showed that eating soybeans or to fu cut the risk of rectal cancer by more than 80 percent, and soy beans and tofu lowered colon-can cer risk by about 40 percent. In the study, just one to two servings of soy per week gave considerable protection. Even better, the cancer preven tive benefits of soyfoods extend beyond the digestive tract A study of almost 1,500 men in China found that the risk of lung cancer was about SO percent lower with frequent tofu consumption. Soyfoods have been shown to prevent or improve other health conditions, too, including high cholesterol levels, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, gall stones, kidney disease, and osteo porosis. The people who benefited the most from soy were the people with the highest cholesterol levels. UHtaMr Firmtafl; WUrdifc 'JirtytS, IWS-W be seen daily.

Of Soyfood A study of Japanese women who ate two ounces a day of soy bean or soybean-containing foods found the women reported fewer hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause than women in North America and other countries not eating soy foods. Soy phyto chemicals may partially mimic the activity of human hormones, such as estrogen, researchers say. (Es trogen plays key roles in the fe male reproductive system and in the menstrual cycle, but is also thought to be a factor in hormone related cancers, including breast cancer.) The phytoestrogen in soyfoods, weaker than its human produced counterpart, may block the absorption of high quantities of estrogen, protecting against cancer and easing the roller-coater effect on hormonal levels during menopause. With all this evidence of soy’s health benefits, the question is no longer whether to include soy foods in the diet, but, “How often is best?" In many studies, the likelihood of getting cancer was shown to be cut in half for people who ate a serving of soyfoods daily in com parison to those consuming soy- ohly once or twice per week or less.] In the study of Chinese men, the more often tofu was con sumed/the lower the risk. So, set ting a goal of eating at least a full serving per day might be best, Messina suggests.
