The Right Soy
We hear all kinds of conflicting reports regarding the benefits of soy in our diets. Dr. Mercola for some unknown reason is dead set against soy in any form. The FDA flip-flops on its benefits, as does the American Heart Association and the AMA. What’s this about?
To put it bluntly: “there is soy and then there is soy.” In the same way there is “sparkling wine” and then there is Dom Perignon. The bottom line is one of quality.
The soy that’s grown from genetic seed, sprayed with pesticides and fertilized with chemicals, the soy protein extracted with alcohol instead of good water is not going to be anyway beneficial for you. However, the organically grown soy grown free of chemicals and watered with and extracted with good, clean water will be beneficial.
Health is all about quality not about the cheapest price.
Test before you buy. That’s what theQFT™ is for.
If the soy product tests weak… run.
If the soy product tests strong… buy.
It’s as quick and easy as that.
The only soy products that work for me are the Shaklee Cinch products.

Shaklee Protein Quality.
I thought you would want to see this.
For decades Shaklee used the "PER" (Protein Efficiency Rating) score for protein quality.
In communicating with Shaklee science, we learned this is no longer true ...
They now use the PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score.)
The Energizing Soy Protein* score is 1, the highest quality score available from the World Health Organization and the FDA.
Here's a simple explanation of this relatively new scoring system ...
Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) is a method of evaluating the protein quality based on the amino acid requirements of humans. The PDCAAS rating is a fairly recent evaluation method. It was adopted by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO in 1993) as the "The preferred 'best' method to determine protein quality for human muscle growth". These organizations have suggested that other methods for evaluating the quality of protein are inferior.
*Note: Shaklee pioneered soy protein products. They are non GMO, unheated, water processed, and undergo the most stringent tests in the industry for quality, purity and potency. They have been clinically proven to maintain blood sugar levels for up to 4 hours. Shaklee's soy protein is ideal as a preferred protein source, ensuring the cells of the body complete protein of the highest quality, in balance and in an easily available form, no matter what other sources of protein we may or may not eat in a day. Energizing Soy Protein and Instant Soy Protein are cornerstones of Shaklee's daily, basic supplement programs, The Essential Foundation and The Wellness Pack. "Feel better or your money back."
