Abstract in brief

  • The study found that Japanese adults who consumed the most natto, a traditional soy food, had a significantly lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD), including stroke and ischemic heart disease.
  • While other soy products and soy isoflavones did not show a strong link to reduced CVD mortality, higher natto intake specifically was associated with fewer deaths from total CVD and stroke.
  • These findings suggest that eating natto might help lower the risk of death from cardiovascular issues, possibly due to its unique fibrinolytic enzyme content.]

@adaptthasound Natto seems to be helping with cardiovascular function, but thin blood can be just as bad as too thick. https://t.co/Cix4sg4r4V These can have pretty big impacts, so I'd recommend working with your prescribing doctor if you're on medication/prescription vitamins for it.

【大豆をとるなら納豆で!】 『大豆は健康にいい』は割とよくいわれますが、実はちゃんとしたエビデンスがありません。(企業のブランディング効果がでかい) ただし、納豆だけは心血管疾患リスク低下が示されており、死亡率も低下します。 大豆をとるなら、納豆にしよう。 https://t.co/5RVcHPSniq
