Benefits of Soy – organic (does not cross pollinate so no gmo if organic)
Tofu, soymilk, miso, tempeh, edamame—these and other soy products, including the soybeans themselves, are high in nutrients you tend to associate with other legumes, including fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, protein, and zinc. Tofu is a highly nutritious, protein-rich food that is made from the curds of soybean milk.  Regular intake of soy protein can help to lower total cholesterol levels, lower triglyceride levels, reduce the tendency of platelets to form blood clots, and even raise levels of HDL (good cholesterol).  Soy has also been shown to be helpful in alleviating the symptoms associated with menopause.  Soy foods, like tofu, contain phytoestrogens, specifically the isoflavones, genistein and diadzein. In a woman's body, these compounds can dock at estrogen receptors and act like very, very weak estrogens. Thus helping the elimination of powerful estrogen the body produces.  Most types of tofu are enriched with calcium.  Four-ounces supply about 10% of the daily value for calcium and contain only 70-90 calories.  Tofu provides 9.2 grams of complete protein, that's 18.3% of the daily value.
