Soy and soy products have long been known as healthful and useful additions to our diet.

But it is only recently that medical studies have begun to prove what Asians have believed for centuries: that soybeans and soy products are amazingly effective in the prevention and treatment of many widespread diseases and conditions.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Stephen Holt discusses the role of soy products in preventing and reversing heart disease, preventing hypertension, and as an effective aid to weight-loss dieting.

A wonderfully versatile plant, soy is proving itself of value in treating many serious conditions, from diabetes to certain kinds of cancer.

'The Soy Revolution' contains recent research on soy that reveals:

- Soy protects against possible inwanted effects of estrogens

- Soy has potent anti-cancer effects

- Soy isoflavones have been credited with the reduced incidence of prostate cancer among Asian men.

- Soy helps in the fight against diabetes mellitus

- Soy isoflavones may also have an anti-agniogenice effect (diabetic retinopathy, which causes blindness)

- Soy prevents and treats osteoporosis

" Over several centuries, soy has shown itself to be one of the most important, healthful and safe foods on our planet", writes Dr. Holt.

"While research must continue to discover all of its health promoting properties, Western populations can begin taking advantage of what is alredy known about soy"
