Beautifully Free Information—Soy Update Hits the Web

As I’ve repeated ad infinitum, to my mind, one of the best aspects of the Internet age is the open, free dissemination of real information. No membership fees. No download fee. No hidden gouges. Although said informational purposes were the heart of the Internet’s original intent, such altruistic fodder is growing increasingly hard to find as folks attempt to cram as much self-spun unverifiable takes on reality as possible. The Internet can often seem like a prime example of information overload.

Nevertheless, scientific-backed food for thought still continually emerges amongst the clutter, and one spot where you can regularly find such new additions is the eBook series on this very site. Not content to simply post the same content readers receive in our printed products, we continually put forth a sizeable chunk of online-only content, such as the new eBook providing an update on soy ingredient research from the United Soybean Board, The Next Generation of Soy: Innovations in Soybean Oil and Soy Protein Technology. In addition to a wealth of bench-ready formulation information, USB tosses in a nice overview of recent market research on consumer perceptions and buying patters, which always helps.

Stop on by and check it out, basking in the still-valid glory of the Internet’s original intentions.
