MPORTANT HEALTH BENEFITS FOR DIABTETICS
DATE: December 23, 2009
Two new University of Illinois studies report that lunasin, a soy peptide often discarded in the waste streams of soy-processing plants, may have important health benefits that include fighting leukemia and blocking the inflammation that accompanies such chronic health conditions as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. "We confirmed lunasin's bioavailability in the human body by doing a third study in which men consumed 50 grams of soy protein--one soy milk shake and a serving of soy chili daily--for five days. Significant levels of the peptide in the participants' blood give us confidence that lunasin-rich soy foods can be important in providing these health benefits," said Elvira de Mejia, a U of I professor of food science and human nutrition.

Not sure about soy products other then what I read and it is the same as you have stated, yes and no?
Tofu?? I have had it once that I liked it and didn't realize that is what it was in a salad, I really thought it was cheese. It absorbs the flavor of what it is in. However, I have had a lot of bad tofu too! Yuk is my sentiments also!
I would do the tofu if I could get it like I had it that once, but when I buy it, it is mushy eech! Oh yes, it is great for you they say.??
I agree that I must have firm tofu. My cousin taught me to get the firm and then fold up a kitchen towel and let the brick sit on the towel on a plate in the fridge overnight. It gets less "scrambled egg" feeling.
Also, slicing it, putting it in marinade and grilling it with veggies at a bbq is good too. My veggie/vegan friends think I am a genius for thinking that up.
You can put soft tofu in the food processor and slip it into things that are mayonaise - y I like dry ranch dressing mix, fat free cottage cheese and tofu as a potato topper or salad dressing or veggie dip.
Sometimes I come across some really malnurished kids through foster care. We have to think of ways to sneak in extra protein. Plus I know a lot of kids on ADD medication and they do not want to eat. If we can take something "junk foodie" like ranch dip and turn it into a lean protein source...it's a good day!
That is a kewl idea you have about putting it on a kitchen towel. i never knew that. That is one thing I didnt like about tofu was the consistancy. Thanks so much for all the ideas!!
