• Summary: 1. Genetic engineering of soybeans. This is now
a major issue in Europe, and starting to become one in the
USA. Will “non-GMO soybeans” ever become as important
to some consumers as “Organically grown soybeans”?
2. What will be the effect of the FDA announcement
concerning health claims for soyfoods on small producers
of traditional soyfoods? Will they benefi t from the claim
without changing their formulations? Should they mentions
“With natural isofl avones” on their labels? Should they state
how many grams of isofl avones per serving. 3. Beware the
dangers of the media hype of the health benefi ts of soyfoods.
Don’t overdo your own advertising claims. The media may
later start to debunk all the hype. 4. Beware the potential
dangers to the soyfoods industry of concentrated isofl avones,
such as the pills made by ADM. These could be marketed
(over the Internet, for example) as pills to give small girls big
breasts.
5. Take advantage of the publicity that will be created by
big dairy companies getting into the soymilk market.
6. Lon White’s cardiac research in Hawaii which
indicate that tofu consumption is correlated with cognitive
disorders.

accounts for more than 500,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.
“2. The soybean is the only vegetable to offer a complete
protein profi le, equal to both meat and eggs in its protein

only eleven of which are produced by our bodies).

most vegetable foods.
“5. Soybeans are a good source of several vitamins and
minerals, including calcium, zinc, copper, magnesium, iron
and many of the B vitamins.

• Summary: Soy yogurt is now a part of the ever expanding
line of soyfoods. Years ago, when you yogurt was a rarity, its
fl avor and texture were not nearly as good as those of dairy
yogurts. But now that has changed, and one can fi nd “many
new, different and great tasting soy yogurts on the market.”
These include WholeSoy Creamy Cultured Soy, White Wave
Silk Dairyless Soy, and Galaxy Foods Veggie Yogurt.
Most soy yogurt is sold in a 6-ounce plastic cup,
whereas dairy yogurt is typically sold in 8-ounce cups.
However White Wave Silk Dairyless Soy is also sold in a
32-ounce (1 quart) container.
Soy yogurt may cost a few cents more, but they are
“worth the extra money because of their tremendous health
benefi ts. And soy yogurt is certainly a good way to help you
with your goal of eating 25 grams soy protein daily to lower
high blood cholesterol.” Most soy yogurts contain about 5
grams of protein per 6 oz container.
