Soy contains calcium, Iron and Zinc which is beneficial for us to help build strong bones and teeth, immunity and also helps our bodies to carry oxygen to our muscles. Eating Soy products can reduce menopausal symptoms and keep our hearts functioning normally by lowering blood pressure and blood fats, there is also extensive research done to prove it can help with preventing breast cancer.
After my research I thought hmmm this is pretty interesting but being me of course I wanted something that also aids in the beauty aspect of our bodies and with further research I found out that Soy Milk and Tofu is really good for maintaining beautiful skin, it helps with the production of Collagen (my favourite thing in the whole world) so that means less wrinkles and an anti-ageing effect! But I also found out that Soy can mimic estrogen in a woman's body, So i was like what would this estrogen do? According to some it can help in developing larger breasts? (Still a debate going on whether it's true or not since if your drinking this in your pre-pubescent years there's no way to tell if soy is actually making you chest larger...it could be genetics) unless your and adult and that happens then MORE POWER TO YOU, secondly it helps makes you feel more feminine? (Another debate since that just might be a state of mind your in). With all these benefits I did give it a try, I tried Silk soy beverage and it was soooo delicious I had gotten the vanilla flavoured one but word of caution I did gain some weight so I switched to the plain one.
Now there is alot of debate so don't go out and purchase Soy milk just yet, according to research there is a chance that due to the added amount of estrogen your body is now ingesting there is a potential that you can get breast cancer (only if you completely overdose on Soy because to much of anything is a bad thing) so I would recommend a glass a day preferably at night before bed and you really shouldn't have to worry.
I was skeptical at first but then I realised something, people in Asian countries tend to eat alot more Soy and I mean tons of it and you don't really here them getting cancer now do you? (well there cancer rate is relatively low compared to the U.S) and not to mention how Asian woman are probably the most feminine on the face of this planet (I envy you girls),perhaps due to genetics there bodies are able to take ample supplies of "plant estrogen" since they have been eating it for generations? who knows but I still love the stuff and I swear I will never go back to drinking cow's milk since now whenever I taste it I feel sick and not to mention the oiliness eww..(I'm not a vegetarian ok)
