Dietary Studies Confirm Health Benefits
SALISBURY, Md. 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

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

What makes soyfoods so great
is that their phytochemical profile
shows they provide levels of phy
tochemicals not available by eat
ing practical amounts of other
foods, Messina says.
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.

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.
