Substitute Soy Burgers for Hamburgers
According to the USDA, Americans eat more beef than any other meat, and a large percentage of that meat comes in the form of hamburgers. The problem is that a typical takeout burger can contain as much as 31 grams of fat, and much of that is saturated fat. A soy burger does not contain fat, it is a great source of protein, and it is also cholesterol free.
A study published in the May 2001 issue of Cancer Epidemiology Bimarkers and Prevention showed that for each incremental increase in the intake of soy during adolescence, there was a reduction in the risk of breast cancer. Women who had the highest consumption of soy had only half the risk of women with the lowest intake. In addition, there have been other studies that have shown a reduced risk of colon cancer and prostate cancer with the increased consumption of soy.
Additional benefits of soy protein:
The latest research shows that a diet rich in soy is associated with improved breast, colon, and prostate health, reduced menstrual disturbances, and stronger bones.
Not just for vegetarians after all.
To your awesome health
