Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hi Everyone, I recently read a very interesting article in " Consumer's Guide to 'Genetically Altered' Food " about soy and other grains, etc. As a result, I thought I'd pass on some info about an excellent NON-GMO soy protein product. Below is a description of it taken from the manufacturer's website. If anyone would like to know more and where to purchase it, let me know. All my best, Michael Adamson of Adamson Life Essentials, Int'l. San Diego, California and Worldwide Adamson Ever Wonder How Your Favorite Vitamin Supplement Compares With Others?

Send The Name Of The Product You're Taking Adamson -- Soy Product Description: " We all know that protein builds strong bodies, and it's not difficult to get protein from a normal diet. It's not so easy, however, to obtain high-quality protein that contains the full range of essential amino acids in amounts proportional to the body's needs. 1 This product is formulated with soy protein isolate, which contains all the essential amino acids and is the most complete vegetable protein source known today. Soy protein isolate also contains small amounts of many essential minerals as well as other important compounds, such as isoflavones. Our exclusive " formulation of soy protein guarantees a full 60 mg of isoflavones per serving. It contains amounts of soy protein that are among the highest concentrations available, with the lowest fat content. Each serving contains 24 grams of soy protein and only 1 gm of fat. This product is an outstanding source of low-fat, cholesterol-free, non-meat protein, and it's easily digestible, too. SOY'S MANY HEALTH BENEFITS The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognizes that twenty-five grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Soy protein also has antioxidant effects and has been shown to suppress the oxidation of LDL and cholesterol.3* Soy protein may also help to promote bone health, primarily by lessening calcium loss in the urine.4* Soy protein also provides B vitamins, iron, and other minerals. Health professionals also advocate soy for its value in helping regulate hormones. PHYTOCHEMICALS Many of soy's health benefits come from its numerous phytochemicals. These compounds include protease inhibitors, which may protect cells from radiation and environmental pollutants;* phytates, which may enhance the immune system;* and saponins, which demonstrate antioxidant activity.* Other important phytochemicals in soy are phytosterols, phenolic acids, and lecithin.5 THE POTENSOY FORMULATION Many of the soy products available in the United States have been processed in a way that removes most of the isoflavones, or cannot guarantee their levels. Our product with PotenSoyTM contains a guaranteed minimum of 2.5 mg of isoflavones per gram of soy protein. SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE Our soy protein is produced by an isoelectric/water process. This process delivers a high concentration of soy protein and leaves most of the isoflavones intact. The result is an isolate with a protein content of 90 percent and a high level of isoflavones. Our product is laboratory tested, and quality guaranteed. How to use: Simply add 1 or 2 scoops to 8 oz. of our fiber product, meal replacement product, juice, or your favorite beverage. It can also be added to cereals, baked goods, soups, and sauces to fortify the protein content. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
