What's the Scoop on Soy Protein?
Unfortunately, most of the soy sold in the U.S. is not fermented and is processed. So what do you do?
Turn to a company that has been working with soy successfully since the 1950s. Dr. Shaklee was one of the earliest soy researchers in the U.S. Because of that, Shaklee knows how to safely separate soy with cold water extraction. Why do it? Raw soy beans have a dangerous substance that interferes with thyroid function and also can become toxic. Shaklee's soy is not genetically-modified, another big plus.
By relying on Shaklee for cold water extraction, you get the best of the soy and all of the positives, such as phytoestrogens to inhibit breast cancer and prostate cancer. There are over 1500 studies that show the benefits of soy and only 12 to 20 negative studies.
Shaklee offers Energizing Soy in Natural Cocoa as well as Natural Vanilla. There's also Instant Protein Soy Mix, which is even lower in glycemic value with less than one carb per serving, so very good for diabetics and pre-diabetics. It picks up the flavors you add, such as blueberries, peaches, etc. The new Shaklee 180 line is also soy-based, except for a Whey Vanilla Smoothee. The other Smoothees come in 5 delicious flavors. In addition there are soy-based Meal-in-a-Bars and smaller Shaklee 180 Snack Bars in 4 flavors.
