I honestly wish the word serving would be erased from all nutritional discourse. Confusing, arbitrary and imprecise word.

Can Americans do a favour for the rest of the world: Represent quantity in weight?

"serving" of soy is such a useless term. You don't know how much they actually mean and there are different soy products that have different nutritional values.

Now I know why everybody loves the metric sytem so much.
After researching what a serving actually is, i love it too. I never appreciated, how gorgeous it is.

Here is one serving
Insulin-like growth factor-1 and binding protein-3 in a 2-year soya
intervention among premenopausal women
The intervention group consumed two daily servings of soya foods including tofu, soya milk, soya nuts
and soya protein powder (equivalent to 50 mg isoflavones and 5– 22 g soya protein per serving);

Using TVP, 3-5 servings is plenty. 2 cups of cooked lentils mixed with 2 servings TVP is about 60 grams of protein. season well and toss an avacado in and you're in heaven. Eating this twice a day with veggies and fruit is an easy staple most days.

What is considered a serving size...? Thanks

[bumate]

3 servings? How much is that? (in grams)

[nijuusei]

How much would a 'serving' be, exactly? It's rather.. vague!

[gonzaleznj]

Wish he would show how much a serving of soymilk is for those of us who only ingest soy in the form of soy milk. I'd assume most people might drink about 6-10oz daily. (240-300ml) I wonder how much that is in servings.

[SSSyndrome]

Good to know. I used to eat 5-20 servings per day.

Nice vid! How much is one serving of soy?

And in the previous video, Too Much Soy May Neutralize Benefits, the info given is that the insulin growth factor (cancer promoter) produced on eating animal products and also a diet *swimming* in soy ie. 17 servings per day, may be bound by insulin growth factor binding protein-1 for the soy foods, making it inactive which is a very good thing. Who eats more than 5 servings of soy per day anyway lol.
Dr Greger, thank you. You are a hero! :-)
