There is a reason why soya bean is known as one of the best things to have in your plate. Some call it the world’s healthiest food and why is that so, well because dieticians and nutritionists alike think that soya contains a lot of healthy ingredients that makes you healthy.

Is ‘Meat of the field’ better than the real thing?
Soya bean is also known as meat of the fields because it’s a plant product. Extensive research on the product has revealed that soya foods is no less than cow’s milk or eggs when it comes to protein content. It is fascinating that soy products contain some unique peptides that are otherwise rare in our foods. Soy contains defensins, glycinins and many other forms of protein (peptides are proteins) which help in keeping blood pressure levels under control, regulates blood sugar levels and improves immunity.
 
What’s soy substitution?
In fact, nutritionists are mulling that if people stop taking meats and dairy products altogether and replace it with soy products – a dietary plan known as ‘soy substitution’ – the health benefits are going to be many. Proper intake of folate, magnesium, Vitamin K, and fibre isn’t going to be a problem anymore.  On top of that, most developed world citizens consume more protein than necessary and with soy substitution that problem will be gone altogether!


Modified Products Vs. Non-GMO Soya Products in India
We know that if something has been modified than perhaps something is wrong in it, well, that’s true for most things, there could be exceptions, but modified soy products is bad.

Genetic engineers, of course under persuasion of big companies who gain by selling more soy products, managed to enhance certain properties of soy. They do that by replacing natural genes within an organism with a different from a different organism. This gives off good results in many cases - like enhancement in size of the product, colour, smell and other such cosmetic qualities. However, it turns out that they don’t really know what the foreign genes end up doing!

Recently it was found that those new genes changed the inherent properties of food in a bad way. Rats fed with modified corn developed severe liver and kidney complications and died because of it. On top of that, GMO (Genetically Modified) foods were known to have increased the application of pesticides by a huge margin. And that was killing aquatic animals and insects. Long story short, GMO soy foods were helping none but the big companies who sold them.

Choose only Non-GMO Soy Lecithin Manufacturers and stay healthy.  Get your daily dose of proteins and peptides from the world’s healthiest food that is soya beans.
