Soynuts are an excellent source of dietary fiber providing eight grams per ¼ cup serving (United Soybean Board 1999). Studies have shown that diets low in fiber are linked to increased occurrence of colon cancer, coronary heart disease, and diabetes (Soy Protein Council 1999). According to the National Cancer Society, a fiber-rich diet can reduce the risk of these types of cancer and heart disease, and recommends 25 – 30 grams of fiber per day. That's great news for Soynut lovers!
