Soy What's New?

Soy is gaining traction in the snack aisle. And even though the evidence that soy prevents heart disease or cancer is shrinking, soy still adds protein to salty snacks, which are otherwise a nutritional wasteland.
 
That makes snacks like Quaker Soy Crispes worth a look. A 1 oz 120 calorie serving ( 18 crispes) has 6 to 7 grams of protein. But like most soy snacks, they are high in sodium (270 mg for the White cheddar; 400 mg for the Barbeque). 
Genisoy Soy Crisps are in the same ballpark, while Michael Season's Original Soy Protein Chips dedliver 12 grams of protein and 220 mg of sodium.
