Consumed in China for centuries, soymilk can be found in the refrigerated section or on dry shelves in all sorts of forms and flavors. And whether it comes plain or flavored, as a liquid or powder, or even in aseptic packages, which will keep for a long time, soymilk can provide a host of health benefits--and add a little jazz to your diet.

Tallying Up the Benefits

"Soy can definitely be a healthy addition to almost any diet," says Winnie Yu, author of What to Eat for What Ails You. The plant protein is naturally low in saturated fat and contains-a healthy dose of magnesium, riboflavin, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Regular consumption of soy has been linked to the following:

* Reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol;

* Reduced risk of heart disease;

* Reduced PMS and menopause symptoms; and

* Increased kidney and digestive tract health.
