Is there soy in your bread?

Categories: HealthWatch, Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements

There are plenty of folks who purposely seek out soy-based food products. But, there are some people who are trying to avoid it altogether, whatever their specific reasons may be. The tricky part is that it can sometimes be in foods you may not expect it to be.

Obviously, if a carton says that it contains soy milk, you have a clear understanding of what you are drinking. The same goes for a number of other soy-based foods; their packaging proudly displays their soy content. However, soy, in some form, can sometimes be found in many types of bread (something you may not realize until you read the nutritional label).

What's more, it's not just the standard, run of the mill type breads that may contain soy. Those fancy, minimally-processed, organic versions that can be purchased at health food stores? Yup, those breads too may contain some form of soy in them.

As always, the takeaway is to be sure to check the nutritional label on food. The flashy bubble letters are great for brand marketing purposes, but they can oftentimes be somewhat deceiving with regard to nutrition.
