• Although soy products are healthy options, you should check the ingredient label for toxic or carcinogenic ingredient such as Mono-sodium glutamate (MSG), artificial flavor, and more....(avoid these, keep in mind it's sometimes called other names).
• Because of the many confusion caused by manufacturers who print "Natural" or Contains Soy" for product advertise purpose, it's harder to choose which product to get until you check the product ingredient, be carefully not to buy unhealthy product.

Look for USDA 100% organic symbol or read your ingredient.  

• Researchers are learning how isoflavones-classified as “Phyto-estrogens” or plant-based estrogen-behave like the hormone that is lost during menopausal transition. Isoflavones, particularly genistein and daidzen, are often accepted in the body as the estrogen and in effect function as a food-based, low-level hormone replacement treatment. Some studies have indicated that between 25-50 grams of protein daily may be enough to significantly reduce the negative effects of menopause.
• Soy milk is beneficial for individuals who suffer osteoporosis because soy based food helps prevent the deterioration of bone density caused by aging or disease. A study conducted at the University of Illinois found that post-menopausal women who frequently consumed soy protein had stronger bones. Ongoing studies show promising results in eating soy as a way to prevent bone loss. Researchers are studying how calcium in soy can be utilized to prevent osteoporosis.
• Soy based food helps prevent colon, breast and prostate cancers. Scientific evidence has shown that the isoflavones in soy have a positive effect by inhibiting the growth of new cancer cells, and by causing the dying off of existing cancer cells.  According to one study, just one serving of soy a day-as a food like tofu or tempeh, or as a beverage like soy milk- may reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer by as much as 70%.
