Heart-Disease: Soy Foods for better health

Soyfoods aid longevity. Although a few authors dispute this, most
literature found on the reputable internet sources show that
traditional soyfoods, especially those
with live cultures, correlate with reduced risks of various diseases
without negative side effects. But the maximum benefit comes from
using soy foods to replace a large
fraction of the diet normally occupied by high sources of saturated
fats.

In other words, don't just add soymilk and soy shakes, soy based
artificial cream toppings to your diet. Instead, replace 30 to 60
percent of your red meats with tofu, miso, tempeh, edamame, and so
forth. Also use baked, broiled, or grilled chicken, fish, and other
foods that are not fried.
