In the study to identify self-identities among mainstream and natural foods shoppers and the relationship of these self-identities to soy consumption and BMI by Schryver T, Smith C, Wall M., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that Asians and those who shopped at natural food grocery stores consumed more soy foods and had lower BMIs than other ethnicities or those who shopped at mainstream grocery stores. Five overarching self-identities were found: vegetarian, mainstream, nouveau gourmet, pleasure, and bargain. Vegetarian and nouveau gourmet self-identities consumed significantly greater amounts of soy foods and had significantly lower BMIs, whereas mainstream self-identities consumed significantly less soy foods and had significantly higher BMIs.
