All hope is not lost for those who are obese, with the coming of natural soya bean milk into the  country.

    Soya bean is  a  vegetable with essential minerals capable of lowering of people鈥檚 cholesterol.

    Director, Golden Boy Oil and Cereal, Mr Samuel Adetifa, said   soya bean is very high in calcium, but low in saturated fats, thus helps  to  build an  healthy  heart.

    Adetifa, who spoke at the launch of Golden Boy Soya Milk in Lagos, said the product is cholesterol free, high in soya protein and rich in iron content.

    He said soya beans milk is a new standard in health nutrition, adding that the product is made from non-gmo soya bean. Non-Gmo soya beans are a non-chemical soya beans because they were grown naturally. It is purely organic, making it 100 per cent natural seed, he added.

    Adetifa said sucrose from sugar cane and maltose are some of the ingredients used in the production of the product. 鈥淒ue to our unique preparation using advanced food technology, the nutritional  value of the soya beans is retained for a smooth, naturally delicious taste. It is full of protein, which helps several vital functions of the body,鈥 he said.

    The company鈥檚 Managing Director, Mr Batholomew Nneji, said the product is manufactured in China, but would soon be produced locally within the next two years. 鈥淚t was due to the epileptic power supply in the country and the seemly high overhead costs that we decided to produce it outside the country,鈥 he said.

    He said soya bean being the oldest vegetable around has been used in Eastern countries for thousands of years, adding that it is high time Nigerians took advantage of the product.

    He said market research showed there was no soya product packaged in a powdery form.

    The company, he said, has made it easier for consumers with its soya bean milk powder product in a sachet which is handy and readily available for everybody.

    鈥淭he product is highly soluble as it dissolves easily whether in cold, hot or warm water. Soya bean is a good alternative for milk. It is good for everyone, especially for the children who are still growing,鈥 he said.

    He said the product, unlike most products, is very creamy and lacks the repulsive smell, usually associated with soya bean products. 鈥淏earing in mind that Africans have low tolerance to cholesterol, Golden Boy Soya Bean Milk Powder is a suitable option to cholesterol problems. The product is the best substitute for meat because it鈥檚 cholesterol-free and is highly affordable,鈥 he said.
