“Apple is a source of fiber and antioxidants are good. Apples are also rich in pectin are effective as an anticancer substance in the large intestine,” said the researchers.

In a laboratory study conducted by German researchers, Dr. Dieter Schrenk, known components in apples can increase butyrate production, to prevent the formation of HDAC (Histone deacetlyases). HDAC declining production will push the growth of pre-cancerous cells and tumor cells.

Colon cancer is a cancer that is often encountered in Indonesia. Cancer is not just about the men but also women. Colon cancer risk increases in consumption of high fat and low in fiber, body fat, smoking, and lack of exercise.

Quality protein, soy milk is also almost equal to the quality of cow’s milk protein. Protein eficiency ratio (PER) of soy milk is 2.3 whereas cow’s milk PER is 2.5. PER means that every 2.3 grams of protein you eat will result in weight gain of 2.3 grams. Thus, the higher the PER value reflects the better quality protein.

In general, soy milk contains vitamins B1, B2 and niacin in an amount equivalent to cow’s milk or breast milk, and contains vitamin E and K in considerable amounts.

However, soy milk does not contain vitamin B12 and mineral content, especially calcium, less than cow’s milk. Therefore, soy milk is usually produced by the factory are always supplemented with minerals and vitamins.
