Why do most Japanese people live longer than the rest of us? One reason might be soybean products(豆制品)like tofu and miso(日本豆酱).Scientists from Japan’s National Institute of Health and Nutrition did a study into the health benefits of soybean products. They said people who regularly ate tofu and miso were 10 percent less likely to die from diseases than people who ate no soybean products. Eating soybean-based food cut the risk( 风险) of death from heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. Eating fermented soy products(发酵豆制品) lowered the risk of death.
