Soybean is mostly eaten cooked. It has more protein (40gm/m²) than any other food item. Milk has just 9.2gm/m². Make it a habit of eating lightly roasted soybean while watching TV instead of eating fried stuff. Soybean is good for health.

Benefits:

1. Eat soybean for 8 weeks and your BP will be gone. It controls the cholesterol level in the body.

2. Soybeans are high in phytoestrogen. They act like weak estrogens. When consumed they decrease the level of estrogens circulating in the body. Hence soybean reduces the risk of breast cancer in women who have high level of estrogens.

3. Anaemia: Soyabeans are a valuable source of iron, vitamin B12 and protein. A quarter cup of soya everyday in the form of beans or flour is highly effective in combating anaemia

Danger:  Soybeans can sometimes trigger allergic reactions causing hives, swelling of lips, eyes and upset stomach.
