It's food. It's fuel. It's even foam insulation. That's the beauty of soy. Thanks to soybean checkoff funding, industrial soy ingredients are showing up in more products every day. In fact, nearly 90 percent of all newspapers are printed using soy ink.

There are some big benefits to using soy-based products. They dont contain the levels of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, found in many petroleum-based products, including plastics. VOCs have been found to cause cancer and other harmful effects in humans. Also, replacing petroleum ingredients with renewable, domestically produced soy-based industrial ingredients makes products more biodegradable and helps reduce dependence on foreign oil.

From beauty products to paints to cleaners to candles, there are too many soy products to mention here. So check out our Soy Products Guide by clicking the link below. You're sure to find a few you'd be glad to own.
