soya-licious

Been addicted to soya bean drink lately...

For some unknown reason, I have been craving for the beanish tasting drink every morning. Made my way down for a cup to da-pow back to office during lunch today from the famous (and now feuding and split) Rochor Beancurd stall near my office.

I like my soya bean drink hot hot hot. Especially with the rainy season upon us (with the coming Dec), it warms mi up from my tummy :p

Did a research on the net on the goodness of soya bean drink and here are some of the findings I trawled from the net.

It is written that Soya is one of the oldest and most nutritious foods in the world, dating back to the 11th century BC. Soya has many nutritional advantages as it contains protein, fibre and isoflavones which have positive effects on cholesterol, bone density, menstrual and menopausal symptoms as well as preventing certain cancers.

In orser to achieve this RDA (which is 25g) of Soya to promote a healthy heart and reduce cholesterol it is necessary to consume three portions of a Soya based food each day. The webby suggest using Soya milk on cereal each morning, adding soya milk to tea and coffee and choosing a dessert made from soya milk eg. custard or fruit smoothies yoghurt etc. Talk about soya overdose!
