Met a Man Today....

Today Bruce and I met a Gentleman who saw our Shaklee Distributor sign on the truck and asked if Shaklee still had a Protein Mix. I told him I honestly had not personally used the protein mix but knew it exsisted. So we gave him a card with the web site so he could go online and shop. He liked the idea about being able to see all the catalog and knew all about saving 15% if he became a "member" which he is considering (he used to be a distributor years ago!) So anyway long story short I did some research about "Shaklee Instant Protein Soy Mix" to educate myself and here is alittle of the information I found. However there is a ton more information and recipes I can hook you up with if you are interested. Let me know after you have digested this snippet of knowledge:

Soy and Bone Health
Americans typically think of dairy products as the best
source of calcium, but there are many other good sources
of calcium. In fact, Shaklee Instant Protein Soy Mix is an
excellent source of dietary calcium, providing 35% of the
daily value of this important nutrient per serving.
Protein from soy may also offer bone-health advantages by
replacing sources of animal protein in the diet. For long
term bone health, calcium intake is only part of the story.
Urinary calcium loss is another factor that contributes to a
negative calcium balance. High consumption of animal
proteins, because they are high in sulfur amino acids, appear
to be responsible for this effect.2 Soy protein, which have
less sulfur amino acids relative to meat and other animal
protein sources, may result in less calcium being lost in the
urine and help keep calcium in the skeleton. In one study,
calcium excretion was found to be 30% lower when
dietary protein from soy sources were compared to equal
amounts of protein from beef, fish, and chicken in healthy
adults consuming a constant amount of calcium.3
