Soy Facts

CHILDREN

Soyfoods can provide solid nutrition to support children’s growth and development

The medical and nutrition communities, as well as government agencies, agree that soy can play a valuable role in a healthy balanced diet for men, women, and children alike. Soy is a complete plant protein, meaning that it contains all of the amino acids necessary for optimal human health. Soymilk is also an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, two nutrients especially important for growing kids. A serving of soymilk provides as much calcium and vitamin D as a glass of dairy milk.
