All Soy
Lowers Cholesterol
(HealthScoutNews, 7/25/02)
Dr. David Jenkins of the University of Toronto and
colleagues put 23 men and 18 post-menopausal women, all of
whom had high cholesterol, on 3 successive low-fat diets. The
3 food regimens, lasting one month each, were: (1) a control
diet based on low-fat dairy and substitute eggs; (2) a high
isoflavone soy diet; and (3) a low isoflavone soy diet. Both
soy diets were associated with reductions in systolic blood
pressure in men and improved cholesterol profiles for both
sexes.
