Sandy Bevacqua has a PhD in molecular biology from Univ of AZ. She teaches nutrition to MD’s. Her series of seminars is called “Healthy Weighs.”

Dr. Bevacqua was told by her MD that she would have a fatal heart attack at 39. Many of her parents and aunts and uncles had that fate at that age. Sandy credits Shaklee products, particularly Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein, for her salvation. It is now many years after her cardic scare. She shows none of the indications which led her physician to forecast her doom.

Heart disease is number 1 killer in the USA. Heart disease is high LDL (bad cholesterol) and low HDL (good cholesterol). SESP increases HDL and decreases LDL. Federal recommendations urge us to use soy to prevent heart disease.

Diabetes sometimes destroys circulation to the kidney and damages adrenal glands. Doctors tell such patients, "no protein," which only means no animal protein. High soy does not create the condition which such doctors want to avoid. High soy is not the same kind of high protein. True soy can be anybody’s principle source of protein.

Some say diets high in phytic acid, as critics expect a soy diet to be, will have a mineral deficiency. That would be true if the consumer eats 30oz (a month’s supply) of soy powder produced in the wrong way in a single day, or if an infant consumes nothing but soy formula and no fruit and vegetables.

True soy is the most digestible food known to humans. However, soy milk, soy crackers, soy chips, soy pretzels, and soy hot dogs are an entirely different product from Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein. Those commercial soy products do not provide appreciable amounts of isoflavones. Even other brands of soy powder are in a different category of nutrition. SESP is a special kind of soy protein isolate.

Conventional soy products are adulterated. The conventional way most soy powders and soy meal for all typical soy products are made is with a slurry of soy in an aluminum vat. An extremely high ph alkaline treatment process is used to separate soy meal from fiber. It is a high alkaline bath followed by a high acid bath followed by another high alkaline bath. It is washed with alcohol. This exposes the soy to aluminum toxicity and generates lysinoalanine toxins. For drying the meal is sprayed in a way which generates carcinogenic nitrites. It is packaged at temperatures as high as 4000 degrees for the purpose of sterilizing the container. Artificial and natural flavors are added. The common manufacturers call it texturized vegetable protein, or TVP.

Numerous web sites condemn soy, assuming that all soy products are created the same way. Creative's Health News asserts that the positive but misleading claims about the "phony" benefits of soy lead to the profit of Pillsbury, Hershey Foods, Kellogg, Roche, General Mills, Kraft, Campbell Soup, Monsanto, Coca-Cola, Cargill, Heinz, Nabisco, Proctor and Gamble, and Pepsi-Cola, who pay for the "mis-information," i.e. false benefits of TVP. The site warns the reader that soy causes reduced male fertility, reduced male brain function, increased risk of certain types of cancers, developmental abnormalities in infants and the early onset of puberty in western women. Doctors of this mindset will condemn soy for causing inflamed thyroid (Hashimoto’s disease) or for causing the immune system to attack a thyroid gland, (Grave’s disease), or for increasing the size of a pancreas, or for increasing fatty deposits in a liver.

However, all those warnings are about TVP, not Shaklee’s true soy product. Shaklee uses cold water washing never higher than room temperature to make SESP. Shaklee’s container is pre-sterilized. SESP is truly a different food from TVP and deserves a different name from all commercial soy products. There is a German soy powder equal in effect to SESP at three times the price.

The benefits of true soy:

Soybeans are rich in a class of phytochemical compounds called isoflavones, particularly the phytoestrogens genistein and daidzen. Phytoestrogens are remarkably similar in molecular structure to the female hormone estrogen.

Isoflavones which a consumer receives from SESP make the blood seem to contain enough estrogen to satisfy the estrogen receptors located on the tissue cells monitored by the pituitary gland, which is the thermostat measuring the estrogen content of blood. Hot flashes are the result of ovaries being pushed by the pituitary which sends out follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) in an effort to try to generate more estrogen, projesterone and eggs.

Women can avoid the irritation of hot flashes during menopause if they take SESP with Shaklee Menopause Balance Complex.

In Japan there is no word for hot-flashes. Scientists believe this could be because Japanese woman experience less severe affects of menopause because the Japanese diet is high in natural plant estrogen – from soy. Japanese people have the same incidence of prostate cancer as the US but 90% less death from it. They have 90% less breast cancer. American men’s prostate cancer goes into the bones. Not true in Japan. The soy isoflavone called genistein is an antioxidant which is believed to block cancer causing free radicals. SESP is great for colon cancer.

Isoflavones block any cancer cells which have hormonal receptors, in a similar way to the way isoflavones seem to satsfy estrogen receptors in menopausal women. Colon cancers, which express hormonal receptors, are ameliorated by SESP.

If a mother eats SESP, the isoflavones will not go into the breast milk, which is generated from the mother’s fat.

A recent large-scale population-health study suggests soy intake as one of the factors involved in prostate health. Men who reported frequently consuming soy milk (which contains some isoflavones) were 70% more likely to maintain prostate health during a follow-up period, compared to the men who had little or no soy in their diet.

Studies in China have clearly shown that girls who eat soy when young have much less chance of getting breast cancer throughout adulthood.

Tyrosine Kinase is an enzyme one hundred times more prevalent in cancer cells. Cancer researchers want a synthetic tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Such drugs have recently been introduced to the medical industry. Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein solves that problem, for SESP is a Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor, stopping cancerous tumor growth.

Gallstones are very rare in nations who consume a lot of soy.

Unadulterated soy is high energy, high protein and no fat. Helps weight loss. Decreases risk of heart disease. Prevents top cancers in men and women. Prevents osteoporosis. Balances hormones. Decreases hypoglycemia. Melts gallstones. Decreases hot flashes. Decreases plaque. Decreases risk of heart disease. Relaxes arteries; increases elasticity. Great source of calcium for children.

Meat in the USA is legally allowed to contain 6 hormones. England endured mad cow disease in the 90’s. They refused to import US beef because of what our government allows in our meat.

You can be very healthy with 50% of your diet from soy.

Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein comes in two flavors. Stir it into water, juice, rice milk, or whatever milk you like. It tastes great.
