    Nutrition & Health

    Benefits of Soy Protein


    Stacey L. Krawczyk, MS, RD, LDN

    What is Nutrition?

    The scientific study of food


    and nourishment, including
    food composition, and
    dietary guidelines for normal
    and medical health.
    Why is Nutrition Important?

    The typical Western-type diet is


    too high in saturated fat,
    sodium, and sugar and too low
    in fruits, vegetables, whole
    grains, calcium, and fiber.
    Such a diet contributes to 4 of
    the 6 leading causes of death,
    and increases the risk of
    numerous diseases.
    Why is Nutrition Important

    Almost 1 billion people are hungry.


    16,000 children die every day, from hunger-
    related causes--one child every six seconds.
    Hunger is the most extreme form of poverty,
    where individuals or families cannot afford to
    meet their most basic need for food.
    Chronic undernourishment and vitamin or
    mineral deficiencies also result in stunted
    growth, weakness and heightened susceptibility
    to illness.

    Food for Thought

    Much has been given us,


    and much will rightfully be
    expected from us. We
    have duties to others and
    duties to ourselves; and
    we can shirk neither."
    - Theodore Roosevelt
    (1905 Presidential Inaugural Address)
    Good Eating = Good Health

    Food:
    Helps us grow & be healthy
    Gives us strength to do work
    Helps us think and learn better
    Helps us heal when sick or hurt
    Connects us with others
    Energy In Foods

    We get energy from the foods we eat.


    Energy measured in Kilocalories (Kcal)
    Body Building Blocks

    Protein is the building


    block of our bodies
    Is made up of
    individual amino acids
    Essential must be
    supplied by diet
    Non-essential can be
    made in the body
    How Protein Functions
    Child Protein Requirements
    Age Protein Protein DRI (g/day)

    Adult Protein Requirements - DRI

    Males 46 g/day
    Females 38 g/day
    Pregnancy 50 g/day
    Lactation 60 g/day
    Severe physical stress,
    infections, burns, fevers and
    surgery all increase protein
    losses and diet must replace
    that lost protein
    Protein Quality & Diet

    Protein Deficiency

    Failure to Thrive
    Vegetarian Diets

    It is the position of the American


    Dietetic Association that appropriately
    planned vegetarian diets, including
    total vegetarian or vegan diets, are
    healthful, nutritionally adequate, and
    may provide health benefits in the
    prevention and treatment of certain
    diseases. Well-planned vegetarian
    diets are appropriate for individuals
    during all stages of the lifecycle,
    including pregnancy, lactation, infancy,
    childhood, and adolescence, and for J Am Diet Assoc. 2009;109:

    Fairly taste neutral


    Absorbs flavors
    Emulsifies
    Increases whiteness
    Improves texture
    Retains moisture
    Absorbs fat
    Improves shelf-life
    Soy Consumption

    Traditional Populations
    Whole soybean
    Fermented products more common
    Soy sauce, miso, tempeh
    Intake of soy protein from soy in Japan and China is
    8-12 grams per day (10% of total protein intake)
    Western countries
    Processed Soy - Soy protein isolate, soy flour, soy oil,
    textured soy, second generation soy products
    Intake of soy protein is small about 1-3 grams per day
    Health claim is for 25 g/day soy protein, based on
    clinical studies of cholesterol lowering effect
    Soy & Health

    Heart Disease - may reduce blood pressure


    and LDL cholesterol
    Diabetes - may help keep blood glucose in
    better control
    Cancer may help cut risk of prostate cancer
    and early soy intake in youth may cut risk of
    breast cancer.
    Osteoporosis may help prevent bone loss
    Phytochemicals contains many biologically
    active substances that may help prevent
    chronic disease. These include isoflavones and
    plant sterols.
    Soy & Health, continued

    Brain Power foods may improve cognitive function


    and mental abilities, especially in those with Alzheimers
    Weight control is low in calories and high in nutrition.
    Consumption of soy protein reduces body weight and fat
    mass in addition to lowering plasma cholesterol and
    triglycerides
    Food Allergies even though soy is one of the 8 most
    prevalent food allergies is only about 0.2% of
    population. Provides great protein and calcium
    alternative for those with other food allergies (milk,
    wheat, etc) or lactose intolerance
    Nourishing the World is economical protein, widely
    available and easy to adapt into differing world cultures
    Soy & Infant Health

    Maternal breast milk is safest, most nutritionally


    adequate form of infant feeding
    Usage of soy based infant formulas (SBIF):
    Nutritional needs and/or severe allergies not met by
    breast or cows milk-based formula
    Infants with galactosemia or severe lactase deficiency
    Vegetarian-based alternative choice
    American Academy of Pediatrics Policy
    Statement 2008 confirmed safety of SBIF for
    most term infants
    Soy Protein Solutions
    Adequate and good nutrition is
    essential for everyone

    Soy foods are an excellent source of


    complete proteins

    Soy provides protein and other nutrients


    that have additive health benefits

    Soy products are adaptable and easy to


    use in meals or feeding programs

    Soy foods are highly acceptable
