The Joys of Soy

Dr. Anderson's Recommendations


General Prevention:
  Consume 7 servings of soy protein a week. (this will give you an average of 8 gm of soy protein and 16 mg of soy isoflavones a day)
  Examples of a daily serving would be:
8 oz. Of soy beverage
2 soy muffins a day
2 servings of tofu 4 x a week


Tailored Protection:
  Consume 14 servings of soy protein a week. (this will require some sort of routine of using soy products regularly.

  Examples or recommendation for a daily serving:
4 soy muffins per day
2 servings of soy beverage per day


Disease Reversal:
  We recommend that individuals with a history of breast cancer consume 3 servings of soy protein a day and individuals with heart disease consume 2 to 3 servings a day.

  Incorporating soy protein isolate powder into a beverage is the most practical way to achieve this level of soy intake. 2 heaping tablespoons will provide 25 gm per day.

  Then consume the amount recommended for tailored protection to complete the day

  Reference: 3 major groups of soy foods
