Confusing Messages on Soy?
(from our September Health Newsletter)
For 50 years, Shaklee scientists have recommended soy protein consumption as part of a healthy diet. However, today we are also well aware of the great confusion among consumers and even health professionals about the health benefits of soy, because of a few very limited studies on soy that have received much attention on the internet.
We decided to consult an independent scientific expert on soy to review all the latest data for us and prepare a comprehensive review. We chose Mark Messina, PhD, an adjunct associate professor at Loma Linda University and the Executive Director of the Soy Nutrition Institute. Dr. Messina, an ac- knowledgeable leader in soy research, has made studying the health affects of soy his focus for over 20 years and has published more than 60 scientific papers and given more than 500 presentations on soy foods to health professionals around the world. From his comprehensive scientific white paper prepared exclusively for Shaklee, Dr. Messina produced a summary update on soy: Soy and Your Health: An Update on the Benefits, summarized the latest science on the health benefits of soy con- sumption. It covered a wide range of topics such as how a daily moderate intake of soy can promote heart health and bone health, potentially alleviate certain menopause symptoms and possibly even help keep skin looking beautiful...
