The data above comes from http://soycoffee.com where a company is now selling soy coffee. Merri and I have been using this for years and I shared how we make our own when I wrote at https://garyascott.com/health/456/index.html

“An enjoyable way to enhance growth hormone (assuming you like coffee) is by drinking soy bean coffee. Merri and I first learned this trick many years ago from a nurse who was looking after Merri's mother. This nurse explained that in her country of birth (Trinidad) every person over the age of forty has a soy bean bush because soy has an element that is a precursor to HGH. This was a delight for me, because I missed my coffee. In my youth I abused alcohol, tobacco and coffee. Giving up the booze and fags was a snap but not having coffee was like losing my best friend and soy coffee (the way we make it) is so similar to the deep French roast I like. Here is the whole process for making a great soy cappuccino! We order our organic soybeans over the net from Jaffe Brothers in California. Their email address is jb54@worldnet.att.net and their website is http://www.organicfruitsandnuts.com

Merri soaks the beans overnight in a big five gallon pot, then boils them until they double in size. (Treat them no differently than any dried bean.) To conclude the process she roasts them on a flat pan in the oven until they are as dark as you desire. I like a really blackened French Roast, but suspect that the extra roasting reduces the nutritional quality so I use a blend of dark (for flavor) of lightly roasted (for nutrition) beans.

From the oven I treat the beans exactly as I would coffee beans, storing them in the freezer until I am ready to get out the coffee grinder and cappuccino machine to whip up a brew. I try to have one or two cups of this a day. This is not a discipline that is hard to bear either. I cannot tell the difference between my soychinos and a cappuccino…but I bet my body can!

Until next message, good business, investing and health!”

Now you can make it yourself or buy it at health food stores.
