World's best bread?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

From personal experience, this bread / food is delicious and eliminates the need

for ground flax / linseed. Cost in Aus

$ 2.50 or US $ 1.25 per load. We now toast, cut slices into 4 sections & use it

to replace our stone ground multi grain

crackers with cheese or fresh ground peanut paste.

Delicious just by itself!!!!!

This food / bread has a very low GI of 36.

If you can find some in your local shop, give a loaf a try. You will not be

disappointed.

BURGEN ® SOY-LIN TM Nutritional benefits

What are phytoestrogens?

Phytoestrogens occur naturally in some plant foods and are chemically

similar to oestrogens which humans produce

naturally.

How to include phytoestrogens in the diet?

Phytoestrogens are found mainly in grains and legumes and the main types

useful for humans are known as isoflavones

and lignans.

Food sources of Phytoestrogens

Some soy products are rich in isoflavones. Linseeds contain high levels of

lignans.

Few products containing phytoestrogens are used widely in Australia. Products

such as soy beans, soy beverages, tofu

(bean curd), miso and tempeh have not traditionally been a part of the

Australian diet. The phytoestrogen level in soy

beverages also varies according to processing method and the variety of soy bean

used.

BURGEN® SOY-LINTM contains kibbled soy, linseed and kibbled wheat and is a

welcome addition to the products containing

phytoestrogens. BURGEN® SOY-LINTM contains 137mg/100g of total phytoestrogens,

which is 109mg per serve (2 slices).

BURGEN® SOY-LINTM is a source of alpha-linolenic acid which is an omega 3 fatty

acid.

BURGEN® SOY-LINTM is a good source of dietary fibre.

BURGEN® SOY-LINTM has recently been shown to have a low glycaemic index of 36.

New Australian Research in Menopausal Women

As women reach the menopause, their ovaries produce less estrogen. This causes

many to have unpleasant symptoms such as

hot flushes.

Low estrogen levels also cause reduced mineral content in bones leading to

osteoporosis. This causes the bones to become

brittle so they break easily.

A team from Monash University and the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne has

been studying the effect of giving

menopausal women a bread containing soy and linseed. Their study found that bone

mineral content improved. Linseed and

wheat in the bread was found to decrease the number of hot flushes experienced.
