Northern Soy’s founders, Andy and Norman, have been vegetarian for many years. In 1976, they began their tiny enterprise to promote a vegetarian lifestyle and now they’ve grown into an environmentally-friendly company. Nowadays the company remains independently-owned, with Norman and Andy still managing the daily operations. SoyBoy is a proud Meatout campaign sponsor!

Whole-grain consumption reduces risk of death from inflammatory diseases, according to new findings from the Iowa Women’s Health Study. These results are timely, as related studies have recently revealed that oxidative stress, infection, and inflammation are predominant causes for several major diseases.

Study participants who incorporated the most whole-grains into their diet were less likely to die from an inflammation-related death. Most of us already know about the positive impact of whole grains in reducing coronary heart disease and diabetes, but the surprise is that the benefit is even greater on the reduction in inflammatory mortality associated with consistent whole-grain intake.
