You find lots of people switching to Soya foods as it offers substantial health benefits. It has been reported that foods containing soya protein reduce the risk of heart disease. For some people soya may cause allergy and they should avoid soya protein. For vegetarians , soya is a very good source for high protein ,vitamins, minerals and fibers. Soya is known to have been used as a food item for over thousands of years as whole soya beans, soya sprouts, or processed as soya milk, tofu, Soya sauce etc.
