Notes
Soy products like tofu contain isoflavones that act as antioxidants and help minimize oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
Regular consumption of tofu may be associated with reduced cholesterol levels.
Tofu is a good source of plant protein, providing all essential amino acids needed for growth, repair, and immunity.
Tofu is generally safe, but avoid it if you have a soy allergy or thyroid condition, as soybeans may interfere with thyroid function.
