One of the best ways to add soy
to your diet is to eat tofu.

Soy is good food. It is well worth adding to your diet -- as tofu, edemame (soybeans), soy milk, soy flour, tempeh, and textured soy protein, to name a few sources. Eating soy daily can lower blood cholesterol levels. Food with moderate to high levels of soy protein can now don an official health label linking it to heart health. Soy is associated with several other potential health benefits, including a reduced risk of cancer and the maintenance or improvement of bone health. It is uncertain if the beneficial substance in soy is the protein itself or the numerous plant estrogens called isoflavones. Isoflavones are a type of phytoestrogen, plant substances that seem to act as antioxidants and mild estrogens.

Soy, in its many forms, is a healthful ingredient for all to enjoy, but it's especially good for vegetarians. Besides it potential health benefits, soy is a great source of protein, which can sometimes be lacking in strict vegetarian diets. However, because no food is a magic bullet, it is still important to eat soy as part of a varied diet.
