Day +166

I am fine today. Continue from yesterday…

Part 3 of 4

Listening to her advice, my friend stopped taking Ensure Milk and started to make and drink fresh soy milk everyday. I told him that the Ensure Milk is made from soy protein isolate and enriched with many vitamins and minerals, not from cow milk. So the ‘hormone theory’ proposed by the lady cannot be established. While hormones did stimulate the bone marrow to produce bloods, the root cause of the blood disorder might not always be attributed to hormone problem.

In fact, soy protein isolate is good for health. The following paragraphs regarding soy protein isolate is taken from Wikipedia.

“Soy protein isolate is a highly refined or purified form of soy protein with a minimum protein content of 90% on a moisture-free basis. It is made from defatted soy flour which has had most of the non-protein components, fats and carbohydrates removed. Because of this, it has a neutral flavor and will cause less gas due to bacterial flatulence.

Soy protein isolate is used in health foods as it is a complete vegetable protein containing all the essential amino acids. Also, it has a very low fat content when compared to animal sources of protein. It is also claimed that soy protein isolate may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and help prevent osteoporosis, some cancers and menopausal symptoms.”
