The Soy Revolution: The Food of the Next Millennium

Should you add soy products to your diet? If so, how much and in what form? Stephen Holt, M.D. answers these questions, and many more, in The Soy Revolution: The Food of the Next Millennium. Dr. Holt says that adverse lifestyle choices are the basis for many chronic diseases. Good nutrition is a major factor in lifestyle and health and he says that "soy foods are not only good sources of nutrition, they can prevent diseases and, in some cases, fractions of soy can treat diseases." The purpose of his book is help "sort through the facts about soy and guide you to the best ways to use this unique food in order to build and maintain health." Dr. Holt has written and lectured extensively in the field of natural health. He provides a brief history of soybeans, which were first grown 4,000 years ago in China. He then describes the nutritional qualities of soybeans, explaining that they are one of the few plants to "provide a complete protein source," which makes then a good meat substitute. Remaining chapters discuss the specific role of soy products in diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Soy products are also useful in keeping the prostate, kidneys, and urinary tract healthy, and are of benefit to women undergoing menopause. One chapter is devoted to the special needs of athletes, and another covers the needs of children. Dr. Holt quotes a variety of scientific studies as evidence of the safety and benefits of soy products. He says that "over several centuries, soy has shown itself to be one of the most important, healthful and safe foods on our planet." He provides lists of resources and information for those wishing to do their own research. Readers wishing to achieve freedom from chronic diseases will find The Soy Revolution an excellent reference.
