The widespread positive responses and affirmation of soy's health benefits suggest these discussions could influence dietary choices and reinforce public health messages.

Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed 46 clinical trials to see if soy's cholesterol-lowering effects have remained significant since the FDA's 1999 heart health claim was made.
  • The results showed that soy continues to produce small but statistically significant reductions in total cholesterol and LDL ("bad") cholesterol, with no evidence of these effects weakening over the past 14 years.
  • The findings support that soy remains beneficial for heart health, affirming the original FDA claim about soy's positive effects on cholesterol levels.]
