Soybean is a rich source of protein

Soybean is a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, fat, isoflavones, and phytoestrogens, and the consumption of soy products has been associated with a range of health benefits, such as reducing blood cholesterol levels [16,17], triglyceride levels, blood pressure, and abdominal obesity and was estimated to reduce coronary heart disease risk [18,19,20]. Additionally, consumption of soy products is associated with inverse incidence of type 2 diabetes [21,22,23]. In short-term studies, the consumption of soy products was associated with a reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, and insulin [17,18]. Moreover, acute studies have shown that soy products can attenuate the glycemic response [10,24].
