The soybean was called "the miracle bean" by the ancient Chinese. And indeed it seems they knew what they were talking about. Soy products, which come from the soybean, are quite popular in our grocery stores and restaurants today and they are known for their health benefits. A popular form of soybeans widely available today is edamame.
The soybean is the highest of all beans in an anticancer compound known as 'protease inhibitors'. These compounds have been shown in studies to retard cancer, lower blood cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar.
Today it is easy to include soy beans and other soy products in your diet. They can be used in everything from salad toppings to snacks, side dishes to entrees, and even in our beverages and desserts. Are you including soy products in your diet?
