As Americans aim to make every meal a healthy one, soyfoods can play an integral role in any well-balanced diet.  Soyfoods nourish the body with high quality protein that is low in saturated fat, full of nutrients, and has low to no cholesterol.  SANA encourages individuals and families to take the steps to a healthier diet one at a time.
