Soy based products now carry labels that say they lower the risk of heart disease.
The labels are similar to the ones that highlight the cholesterol lowering effects of oat products.
Researchers say eating 25 grams of soy protein a day will significantly lower cholesterol levels.
Foods containing at least 25 percent will qualify for the new labels.
Soy products include tofu, soy milk, soy bean based meat alternatives and some baked goods.

The Oasis comes with a real electric cooler in the arm. It holds up to six 12 ounce cans, thus eliminating the need to get up during commercial breaks.
If that is not enough, it also comes with a phone to order pizza.
And if the game gets too stressful, the Oasis comes with a remote controlled heated massage unit.
The chair starts at about 900 dollars.
The people at Lazy Boy say they always heard there were only two reasons to get out of one of their recliners.
With this chair, they say they eliminated one of them.
