The study, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture (Volume 86, pp 1110-1114), investigated the effect of heat on degradation of three isoflavones – genistein, daidzein and glycitein – in soymilk processed over a range of temperatures and time, and reported that both pasteurization and UHT decreases the amount of isoflavones in soymilk.

Interesting, eh? Not that anyone is surprised here, right?

This is interesting!

As a side note, out of curiosity after reading a PP about soymilk and the bioavailability of vitamins and minerals in nut milks, at the HFS today I looked on the nutrition label of all the soy milk brands. Every single one that I could see contained the not-so-good vitamin D2, rather than the more active, recommended D3. And, I was surprised to see that almost all of them have LOADS of sugar. No wonder I used to be addicted to it!

ain't that the truth!

I just love the fact that there it is in writing. Pasturization DOES have an effect on the nutrients!
