I absolutely love chicken and this soy chicken sounds delicious and it's a total plus that it is healthy and can lower cholesterol, I'm going to have to let me father know about this he had stents put into his arteries a couple years ago and he is one of the most physically fit people I know. He runs marathons and his clogged arteries were all because of high cholesterol, now he eats chicken brown rice and we cook with grapeseed oil that is known for lowering cholesterol. This soy chicken sounds very healthy and interesting..good find
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting. I did not know that there was a such thing as soy chicken.

ReplyDeleteThis article was extremely interesting to me. In fact, my friend has been a vegetarian for two years now and has tried different types of soy products, such as soy bacon, and soy hot dogs. I have never had the chance to try soy, although I am interested in tasting the difference. I was unaware that the FDA suggests 25 grams of soy in a human diet, as well as the fact that soy lowers cholesterol, prevents certain cancers, and strengths bones ( which is really beneficial for women).
