Tofu is made from condensed soy milk in a process similar to cheese making. It’s often made from GMO soybeans, so if you are worried about GMOs, organic tofu is your best option. It is low in calories but high in protein and fat. It also contains many important vitamins and minerals, including calcium and manganese. All soy foods, including tofu, contain isoflavones, which are believed to be the main cause of tofu’s health benefits. It may improve several markers of heart health. Still, more studies are needed. Adding tofu to your diet may also help reduce your risk of certain cancers, help protect against diabetes, improve bone mineral density and brain function, and reduce symptoms of menopause and depression. Note that further studies are necessary for the many claims of its benefits. (Trusted source.)
