Garlic: A Quick Guide
Garlic, there's nothing like the smell of garlic. It's great in soups and sauces, roasted with meats or on it's own, and it's wonderful mixed with butter and slathered on bread and then baked. The scientific name for garlic is Allium Sativum. It is...
He Bao Eggs (Small Bag Eggs)
He Bao egg - or small bag egg, must look like a small bag or
wallet just as its name implies. Of course, it is not like the
wallet we have today. It is referred as the kind of bag sewed

More Joys of Soy
My husband has MS, and I have Diabetes. Researching health
issues has become a "hobby" of mine. I am always interested in
health issues. I am especially interested in soy because I am
constantly looking for protein to balance my diabetic meals. I
am not a meat eater, although I am not a vegetarian either. I
believe that knowledge is my best defense.
Soy milk (also called soymilk, soya milk, soybean milk, soy bean
milk, or soy drink) is a beverage produced from soybeans.
Although its English name uses the word "milk", due to its
common use as a milk substitute in Western societies, it is
actually a juice extracted from soybeans after soaking,
grinding, cooking and straining. It is generally opaque, white
or off-white in color, and approximately the same consistency as
cow's milk.
Here is some technical information on soy and it's benefit for
diabetics.
Beneficial Glycemic (Blood Sugar) Control Effects of Soy
Isoflavones
OBJECTIVE. This study was conducted to examine the effects of
soy isoflavones on blood glucose, insulin, and lipid profiles.
The investigators hypothesized that soy isoflavones would
beneficially alter these endpoints.
STUDY DESIGN. Study subjects were postmenopausal women between
48 75 years of age. Participants received 100 milligrams of
soy isoflavones for 6 months.
RESULTS. The results of this study demonstrated that isoflavones
have beneficial effects on blood sugar control. A significant
decline in blood glucose over time was observed. Blood insulin
favorably changed too.
CONCLUSION. The data from this study demonstrated that soy
isoflavones induced a beneficial effect on blood glucose and
insulin concentrations.
REFERENCE: Journal of Women¹s Health 2004
Soy has been known to improve memory.
Soy may reduce the symptoms of menopause and make them more
tolerable for women. Regular intake of soy has proved to help
women in menopause.
* Soy maintains the bone density after menopause. How much soy
do I need to eat every day? Most of the recent scientific
studies have been done with daily doses of 60 milligrams (mg.)
of soy isoflavones. A diet of 25-30 grams of soy protein,
containing a minimum of 60 mg. of dietary soy isoflavones,
should provide health benefits.
What are isoflavones? Soy isoflavones are a unique group of
phytoestrogens; a type of phytochemical or naturally occurring
compounds in plants. Soy is the single most important source of
phytoestrogens. The highest levels of isoflavones for human
consumption are almost exclusively in soy.
What is isolated soy protein? Isolated soy protein is 90 percent
protein on a dry weight basis, with virtually all of the fat and
carbohydrate removed. Processed from whole soybeans, isolated
soy protein is fundamentally an ingredient to be incorporated
into foods and beverages. Because of its high protein
concentration, isolated soy protein offers food manufacturers an
ideal way to incorporate into their products the necessary
amount of soy protein needed to qualify for the health claim
label.
What are some of the soy products available?
Protein Bars
Protein Shakes
Soy Coffee
Soy Nuts
Soy Milk
Soy Pasta
Soy Flour
And there are many more products. The above are only a few. I
have come to love soy shakes, and they come in many different
flavours.
Soy protein has been shown to be equal to proteins of animal
origin. It can be your
sole protein source if you choose.
From the American Diabetes Association: Teixeira SR, Tappenden
KA, Carson L, et al.: Isolated soy protein consumption reduces
urinary albumin excretion and improves the serum lipid profile
in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nephropathy. J Nutr
134:1874-1880, 2004 What is the problem and what is known about
it so far?
When people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, they often have
albuminuria. This means that their bodies are releasing more
than normal amounts of a protein called albumin in their urine.
This is caused by changes in the kidneys from diabetes. Finding
ways to reduce the amount of albumin in the urine is important.
Researchers wanted to know if people who ate isolated soy
protein had lower albumin levels in the urine and fats in the
blood. Isolated soy protein can be found in soy milk, soy
protein powders and tofu.
Who was studied?
Thirty-four men with type 2 diabetes between the ages of 63 and
73 were studied. Men not taking medications or who had no other
conditions that changed albumin levels were included. All the
men had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for at least 5
years.
How was the study done?
The men were put into three groups, which were studied for seven
months. Each group ate two different diets at different times.
The men ate isolated soy protein during one phase and ate casein
(a protein from milk) during the other. (Isolated soy protein
and casein can be mixed into foods and drinks.)
The men visited a dietitian every 2 weeks, when their weight and
blood pressure was measured.
The men also wrote down what they ate and drank for three days.
Researchers took fasting blood and urine samples six times
during the study. Fasting blood samples are taken before a
person eats.
What did the researchers find?
The researchers found that isolated soy protein reduced albumin
in the urine more than casein did. It also helped increase HDL
(the "good" cholesterol). No real difference was noted in LDL
(the "bad" cholesterol) levels of the men.
What were the limitations of the study?
Some men dropped out of the study because the isolated soy
protein or the casein upset their stomachs.
What are the implications of the study?
Isolated soy protein could help prevent kidney and heart
disease. This is especially important in patients with type 2
diabetes because they have a higher risk of getting kidney and
heart disease.
Here are the names of some of the recipes I came across. I will
not post the recipes here, but I am sure if you seach for them,
you will easily find them on the internet.
A soy salami and cheese pizza? You bet! Some major chains are
already doing it.
How about soy based "ground round" instead of beef as an option
on that taco?
You can offer delicious dairy-free alternatives to ice-cream.
Lactose intolerant customers will be very happy!
