5.0 out of 5 stars The Soy Revolution: The Food of the Next Millennium, March 20, 2001

By 

Cassandra Barnes "Cassandra" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Soy Revolution: The Food of the Next Millennium (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The gift of Dragon: soy revolution., May 20, 2000

By 

Merceded T de Tang - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Soy Revolution: The Food of the Next Millennium (Hardcover)

This year, 2000 is the Chinese year of Dragon. And he also has a gift for us : the soy revolution.

Nobody can afford to loose one's health because it is our life. And we have to realize that it depends what we do about good nutrition, exercise and emotional well-being. Chinese wisdom consider food as a medicine, so it prevent diseases.For more 4,000 years chinese people have used the sacred "Great bean" (soya) to restore proper heart, liver, kidney, stomach and bowel functioning.

In this book Dr. Holt tell us about the research done in all world that it prevents or treat a wide variety of illnesses such us breast, prostate and other cancers, heart disease, hypertension, pms. arthritis, diabetes, menopause and osteoporosis.

My mother in law died because diabetes complications, my mother because of cancer. We can not afford to loose our relatives and ourselves because of ignorance. We need to read this book and find how to use all the soybeans products in our lives to protect our families. Education and Health Department of the States must teach different way to prevent illnesses and be a healthy nation. Is better to teach than pay billions in pills for ill people.We are loosing our best riches the life of the people.

In the Dragon's year, be wise. For exercise do Tai chi, and for good nutrition know the gift for this millennium: the soy revolution
