The accepted scientific name is Epimecis detexta.

North Dakota is the largest production of soy beans

Diabetes is caused by insufficient insulin production or the body's inability to use insulin effectively to process blood sugars. Insulin is necessary for the cells to utilize energy from foods. Soy milk, the lactose-free milk made from soybeans, is an excellent source of soy protein, which can assist blood sugar control. If you want to use soy milk, consult your doctor first.

SOY ISOFLAVONES AND DIABETES

Moderate amounts of isoflavones and soy protein are found in soy milk, the dairy-free beverage made from ground soybeans. Dietary isoflavones have been hypothesized to exert an anti-diabetic effect by disrupting lipid peroxidation, a free radical process, which potentiates the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications, such as cardiovascular disease.

GLYCEMIC INDEX

Glycemic index is a measure of the effect of carbohydrate-containing foods on your blood sugar. Soy milk is considered a low glycemic index carb that keeps blood sugar levels steadier so that you do not release huge amounts of insulin at once. Soy milk may also have beneficial effects on insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.

SOLUBLE FIBER

Foods high in fiber, such as soy milk, will linger in your stomach for some time. Fiber forms a gel in water in your stomach that adds bulk to foods without additional calories. This slows digestion and curbs the appetite. This reduces the absorption of carbohydrates into your bloodstream and thus prevents blood sugar peaks related to food intake. The average American consumes 12 to 18 g of fiber per day, although the daily recommendations call for 18 to 36 g per day.

DIABETES AND CHOLESTEROL

A strong link between increased body fat and the development of diabetes is now well established. Cholesterol, triglycerides and other body fats are normal components of your blood. Though they serve many important bodily functions, elevated levels can be dangerous. Soy milk is a cholesterol-fighting food. Researchers have found that consuming as little as 25 g of soy protein a day can lower cholesterol levels by 10 to 15 percent, according to Amy Foster Magnuson of the Thagard Student Health Center at Florida State University.

Thematic

Unless you're allergic to it, soy milk is fine for people of all ages to drink in moderation (pretty much like everything else).

The soybean crop is so valuable because of all the products that are possibly derived from soybeans. Only a few of which would be oil, for food, fuel and platics, tofu an entemame to eat and fillers for human and animal feed.

According to a 2008 US Department of Agriculture survey, Iowa produced the most bushels with 80,000 more bushels than the second place Illinois.

Same rank for the 2010 production, see related question below for more data.

The bushel--if you're buying them through the Chicago Board of Trade, you need to buy 5000 bushels at a time.

Hydrogenation is the process of heating an oil and passing hydrogen bubbles through it. The fatty acids in the oil then acquire some of the hydrogen, which makes it more dense. If you fully hydrogenate, you create a solid (a fat) out of the oil. But if you stop part way, you a semi-solid partially hydrogenated oil that has a consistency like butter, only it's a lot cheaper.

Because of that consistency, and because it is cheap, it is a big favorite as a butter-substitute among "food" producers. It gives their products a richer flavor and texture, but doesn't cost near as much as it would to add butter.

No, soybean is a legume, used as a pulse vegetable or an oilseed.

Boiled soybeans are sometimes fried just like peanuts for the same purpose, but they are not nuts.

That white film is either limestone deposited from hard water or powder detergent residue.

Soaking the glassware in white vinegar (acetic acid) and water overnight should work. Commercial products such as Lime-Away work well also.

After this use a rinse agent to prevent water spots from forming. Water softener is also a good idea (not for drinking though). Lastly, hand dry the glassware with a soft cotton towel whenever possible, especially fine crystal and stimware.

Very likely, yes. The only theoretical concerns with soymilk lie in the fact that soy is high in isoflavones and phyto-estrogens, plant hormones which act as weak estrogens in the body. Trying to determine their exact effect has been difficult. One study linked levels of soy consumption of the pregnant mother inversely to the male child's penis size- the more soy consumed during pregnancy, the smaller the penis, but this was only an observational study, not an experimental one, so it's not known if the soy actually caused a reduction in penis size, or if other factors were at play. Again, it's not as though the study could pinpoint soy as the cause for these findings. A moderate soy intake will probably not cause any trouble. Consult your OBGYN if you have any other questions.

No, tofu is made form soya beans and is therefore a vegtable product.

yes, they actually still do today.

Reference: my dad's Egyptian and I've personaly been to Alexandria in egpyt. my family over their prepare it with Olive oil from Greece, smushed up the cheese and mixed it with fresh Diced tomatoes It'd Delicious!

no it's made from soy beans not chick peas

It's an alternative to bacon so that people who can't eat the real thing can have the tofu version.
Um... I'm guess you don't like it, huh? That's okay, you don't have to eat it. But some people have either chosen not to or cannot eat bacon - this is so they don't feel left out.

there's no reason to stray from the proteins that are offered unless you are a vegetarianwho doesn't eat fish. People who tofu are consuming more carbohydrates than works on the diet. Therefore the weight loss is due to the restriction of the calories and you don't get the benefit of what the HCG Diet is designed to accomplish otherwise. If you are a vegetarian who eats fish normally, you will do fantastic!

To produce soybeans that are found in the inner roots of the flower, which grow and will be released from the unpollinated area. These soybeans help the human development and protein levels for a human.

Tofu needs to contain tofu to be tofu.

So yes, tofu contains tofu.

Tofu is made from soybeans.

Yes soybeans are edible and are eaten in many different ways: soy sauce, tofu, soymilk, etc. Some companies sell a seed called "edible soybeans" and these are called "edamame" in Japan. They are immature beans in the pod which are boiled in salt water and squeezed from the pod and eaten as a snack. They are especially popular as a snack served with beer.

All nuts are also seeds. However, all seeds are not nuts. A seed is the embryonic form of a plant, that if sowed can produce a new plant. A nut is defined as a single seed encased in a hard shell.

Peanuts are also considered nuts even though they usually come two seeds to the shell. And, sunflower seeds are not considered nuts, even though they have a hard shell. So clearly, this answer is in need of improvement.

Some people are allergic to some nuts, like peanuts, but seed allergies are rare. People who are allergic need to avoid the nuts they are allergic to because the allergy can cause death.
