So far, none of those promises has been borne out by research (see "Got Soy?" page 8). Still, soy has hung on to its image as a healthy alternative to dairy foods. Though dairy still dwarfs Dwarfs Fannie Mae issued mortgage-backed securities pools that have an original maturity of 15 years. soy consumption, soy has great PR. In certain health-conscious circles, it's clearly ahead in the polls. Of course, soy dairy foods do have some undeniable assets. Soy milk is lower in saturated fat saturated fat, any solid fat that is an ester of glycerol and a saturated fatty acid.

MILK Shopping for soy milk is more complicated than picking up a carton of skim. Here's what to consider: * Calories. An eight-ounce cup of fat-free or low-fat cow's milk has about 100 calories.

Many are close to the 12 grams of naturally occurring lactose that you'd get in cow's milk. Our Best Bites have no more than 20 grams (five teaspoons) of sugar. * Protein. Unlike fat-free cow's milk, which has all the nutrients of whole milk (except fat), fat-free or light soy milk often has less protein than full-fat versions. That's because some protein is lost when the fat is removed and the drink is diluted di·lute tr.v. di·lut·ed, di·lut·ing, di·lutes 1.

Some fat-free or light soy milks have only four to five grams of protein per cup, instead of the seven grams in full-fat soy milk or the eight to ten grams in cow's milk. Our Best Bites have at least seven grams of protein. * Vitamins Vitamins Definition Vitamins are organic components in food that are needed in very small amounts for growth and for maintaining good health. The vitamins include vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin A, and vitamin K, or the fat-soluble vitamins, and folate and minerals.

Most fortified soy milks have about as much calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin D as cow's milk. Some are also fortified with riboflavin and vitamin B-12. And many (whether fortified or not) have about the same amount of magnesium, potassium, and zinc as cow's milk. We gave Best Bites to soy milks with at least 30 percent of a day's calcium, 15 percent of a day's vitamin B-12, and 20 percent of a day's vitamin D--about what you'd get in a cup of cow's milk. * Taste.

If they're unfortified (about half are), they have little or no calcium. And some brands are low in protein--especially if they aren't made with casein (milk protein). But soy cheese's biggest issue is taste. Most brands--like Veggie Slices and Veggy Singles--taste no better than plastic-wrapped American cheese. They're barely distinguishable from each other, despite names like Swiss, cheddar, and Monterey Jack Monterey jack n. A pale semisoft cheese with a high moisture content and a mild flavor.

They also contain no partially hydrogenated oil. CREAM CHEESE & SOUR CREAM A good tasting soy cream cheese would be more than welcome on the bagels of health-conscious eaters. A real cream cheese like Philadelphia Philadelphia, ancient cities Philadelphia, name of several ancient cities. One was in Lydia, W Asia Minor (now W Turkey). At the foot of Mt. Tmolus and near the location of modern Alaşehir, it was founded in the 2d cent. B.C. has six grams of saturated fat, assuming you use only two tablespoons (one ounce).

We found four brands of soy cream cheese--Soya Kaas, Tofutti, Vegan vegan /veg·an/ (ve´gan) (vej´an) a vegetarian whose diet excludes all food of animal origin. ve·gan n. , and Veggie--with no more than two grams of sat fat. But only the Soya Kaas tasted good. (Actually, so did the Tofutti, but it doesn't earn a Best Bite, since it's made with partially hydrogenated oil, which could easily add a gram or two of trans fat.)

Best Bites: At least 3% of a day's calcium and no more than 5 grams of sugar, 1/4 gram of saturated fat, and 30 calories per ounce.

For soy milk and yogurt, that means from most to least calcium and protein, then least to most sugar and calories. For cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream, that means from least to most saturated fat, then most to least calcium and protein. And for frozen desserts, that means from least to most saturated fat, calories, and sugar.
