  • Foods derived from soybeans are rich in iron, potassium and phosphorus.
  • They are more easily digestible than meat.
  • Soy contains twice calcium than eggs and ten times more than the meat.
  • It has a greater amount of B vitamins, riboflavin twice over the eggs.
  • The soy products are low in calories and contain no cholesterol. The meat is high in saturated fats.
