What are the benefits of functional foods

Functional foods are foods that provide additional health benefits beyond their basic  nutrition. Functional foods are often naturally occurring, but they can also be fortified or enriched with nutrients. Functional foods may help prevent and restrict chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

Benefits of Functional Foods

There are many potential benefits of functional foods, including:

Reduced risk of chronic diseases: functional foods may also help to lessen the risk of developing persistent diseases inclusive of heart sickness, cancer, and diabetes. For example, soy foods were proven to lower cholesterol levels, while fruits and vegetables are excessive in antioxidants which could assist guard in opposition to cell damage.

Improved gut health: Yogurt and kefir are examples of functional foods that include probiotics that can aid to enhance gut health by increasing the number of good bacteria in the intestine . For overall well-being and health, a healthy intestine is important.

Enhanced immune function: Functional foods rich in antioxidants, such as vegetables and fruits, improve the body's immune system and help protect against infection.

Weight loss & Weight management: Functional foods high in fiber, which may help promote weight loss and weight management, oats and beans contain adequate amounts of fiber. You can easily include it in your diet. read more

Soyfoods of America, 1091 Hamilton Rd, Duarte, CA 91010

It took me years to realize that there was a tofu factory in nearby Duarte. And, you can buy their products from the front office during business hours. Soyfoods of America was founded in 1981 by Ken and Wai Man Lee (Cantonese who fled to Hong Kong during the Communist revolution). They supply restaurants and their products are sold in markets as well.

You can buy tofu, deep fried tofu, spice tofu, tofu noodles, bean curd sheets, bean curd, soy milk, tofu pudding, etc. The tofu is either soft or regular (medium firm). In stores, it’s packaged under the name Furama. Their products are all-natural, non-GMO, and contain no preservatives.

Tofu, firm style ($2 for a 1 lb, 3 oz package): Made with non-GMO, US-grown soybeans, the tofu comes in 4 small pieces. It had a strong bean flavor and a clean, sweet aftertaste. It’s very good. I saw the same package at H Mart for $2.50

Savory baked tofu ($3.30, retails for $3.50): This tofu is pressed and spiced, so it’s extra firm. I sliced it and pan fried it. It has a strong bean flavor and the spice might be Chinese five spice? The spice isn’t too strong and the tofu is still delicate. I’d get it again.

Fresh bean curd sausage ($7.40): Made for restaurants, fresh bean curd sausage looks like long tofu ropes and is sold frozen.

Buying direct from the factory doesn’t save you that much but you can buy products that you can’t find in stores.

The soy food products market is rapidly growing food & beverage market as plant-based alternatives is catering the demand for consumers.

The diversity of ingestible forms and the nutritive content of soy food products is driving the growth of soy food products. As people transition to healthy eating practices, soy food items are a suitable replacement for diets rich in dairy, beef, and poultry. Soyfoods are suitable for modern lifestyles.

Soyfoods are commonly available in grocery shops, affordable, and offer options that are shelf-stable. Because of their adaptability, soy components enable specialized diets including dairy-free, low-cholesterol, vegan, and diets high in protein. To increase the nutritional value while preserving the flavor and texture of the original recipe, TSP (Textured Soy Protein) can be readily added to popular vegan and vegetarian food products like plant-based chili mixes, sauces, burgers, tacos.

Asia-pacific is projected to reach USD 35.2 billion during the forecast period.

A growing number of customers now believe that plant-based meals are healthier than animal-based foods, which has caused a movement away from traditional dairy products like cow milk and toward plant-based alternatives. Additionally, an increasing number of consumers are being persuaded by worries about animal welfare to pick plant-based beverages and other consumables over those made from animals.

The key players in this market include Kikkoman Group (Japan), Vitasoy (Hong Kong), Patanjali Foods Limited (India), and Foodchem International Limited (China).

How Soy Foods Play An Essential Role In Global Nutrition? Soy foods are widely popular in many countries. No matter where you are, soybean constitutes a vital part of your nutrition. Here's how: 

[veggiechannel]

Il Dott. Mark Messina ci parla della prova scientifica che mostra che se la soia viene consumata presto nella vita, nell'infanzia e durante l'adolescenza, c'è una buona possibilità che il rischio di cancro alla mammella verrà ridotto sostanzialmente più tardi nella vita.

Triple negative "opportunity": is soy effectively useful against this breast cancer?

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. It is not considered a single disease but a heterogeneous group of several diseases of distinct molecular subtypes. Breast cancer can be classified into four subtypes, luminal A, luminal B, basal and HER2-positive. Although the overall mortality rate for breast cancer patients has decreased in developed countries, patients diagnosed with the baseline subtype have a poorer short-term prognosis than those diagnosed with other breast cancer subtypes. About one sixth of breast cancer cases are classified as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), named after the absence of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PRa) and human epidermal growth factore receptor (EGRF or HER2) expression. Most cases of basal-type breast cancer are also referred to as TNBC because it is characterized by the lack of expression of these three biomarkers. Soy products have long been suggested to be useful in the prevention of cancer development. Epidemiological studies have shown the preventive effect of soy intake for breast cancer. In particular, Asian women who consume a diet rich in soy products have a lower incidence of breast cancer and a lower risk of breast cancer recurrence than women in western counties. Genistein, a phytoestrogen, is the main isoflavonoid contained in soybeans and is considered the active micronutrient responsible for its chemopreventive effect. Things are a little different in the case of the intake of soy or soy-based foods in the context of patients who have breast cancer. Genistein is an isoflavone that was originally found to be an estrogen receptor agonist (ER-alpha), although later and more recent studies have shown that it urges preference for the beta isoform (ER-beta), which is not directly implicated in the proliferation of normal or malignant breast cells. Indeed, the results of in vitro mechanistic studies show that the antitumor activity of genistein in breast cancer cells is largely attributable to the preferential induction of ERβ, which suppresses ERα signaling. Given the possibility, however, that genistein behaves as an aromatic compound capable of activating the ER-alpha receptor, oncologists and endocrinologists advise against taking soy and its derivatives in case of classic breast cancer that expresses receptors for estradiol and / or progesterone. This may be different in the case of triple-negative tumors. This isoflavone has a broad spectrum of anticancer properties in triple negative breast cancer cells. Genistein can inhibit cell growth, induce G2/M phase arrest and/or apoptosis, and decrease cell invasiveness in TNBC cells. This happens as genistein can enhance the expression of stop proteins (p53, p21WAF) while repressing cell death protectors such as Bcl-2 and the transcription factor NF-kB. Overall, it is known that genistein can inhibit some tyrosine kinases such as c-Src and the EGF receptor and can interfere with nuclear enzymes, such as topoisomerase I (Top-1) and DNA-methyltransferase (DNMT-1). There is some evidence that it might interfere as well with MEK-1, a protein kinase component of the MAP kinase signaling pathway. More recent analyzes based on phospho-proteomics and bioinformatics have shown that genistein can modulate phosphorylation on proteins involved in cell cycle regulation and DNA damage response. They include critical components of the DNA replication fork, the cohesion complex, kinetochores and the BRCA1 complex. A particular regulation in triple-negative tumor cells was recorded in proteins such as histone H2.1, cyclin B1, thymidine kinase and few others. The vast majority of cellular proteins, therefore, do not appear to be conditioned in their expression in the context of triple-negative malignant cells. What seems to change, however, is their secondary modification state or phosphorylative state: nearly a hundred proteins undergo this variation when cultured MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative) cells are treated with genistein. Of these, more than 20 are involved in the cellular response to radiation-induced genomic damage (such as ATR, BACH-1, ATRIP, TOPBP1, RAP80 and also the famous tumor suppressor BRCA-1). These responses are not late (24h or more), but occur after just 3 hours, indicating that genistein affects transduction pathways made of protein kinase. Other cellular responses, on the other hand, could depend on the involvement of longer genetic responses. The tumor suppressor BRCA-1 seems to be present in triple-negative malignant cells, but the genetic and epigenetic variations seem to keep it in a silent state that prevents it from acting on cellular malignancy. Genistein seems to restore its expression through the activation of a pathway sensitive to aromatic compounds, that of the hydrocarbon receptor or AhR, a transcription factor that can be activated or inhibited depending on what type of aromatic compound it manages to bind. It is generally recognized that plant polyphenols and flavonoids block it, which leads to a tumor growth suppression effect and therefore to a chemopreventive effect. The genetic activity of BRCA-1 is also essential for the ER-alpha receptor to be expressed, which gives cancer cells sensitivity to estrogen or, even better, to anti-estrogens used in breast cancer chemotherapy. In fact, a very recent study has shown that TNBC cells treated with genistein show alterations of the epigenome (methylation state) in the BRCA-1 gene. In this case, from hyper-methylated the gene becomes hypomethylated and resumes its expression.It is curious that when the AhR receptor is bound to aromatic compounds, it also drags with it the DNMT1 enzyme for DNA methylation on the promoter of the BRCA-1 gene, which coincidentally is also inhibited by genistein itself. This process allows the function of BRCA-1 and the subsequent expression of the ER-alpha receptor. In this way, the triple-negative cells become sensitive again to tamoxifen, one of the historical antiestrogens used against breast cancer. The study showed that the effect of genistein appears not only in cultured cell models, but also in laboratory mice to which genistein has been added to the diet. Scientists deem that in the case of triple-negative breast cancers, genistein supplementation or introduction of soy in the diet, might help manage cancer status, enhancing the possibility to restore its sensibility to drugs of the antiestrogens group.
