ImpactModerate impact

Participants suggest potential health implications and the importance of soy protein in managing cholesterol, indicating perceived significance.

Abstract in brief

  • The meta-analysis of 38 controlled trials shows that eating soy protein can significantly lower total cholesterol, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and triglycerides in humans, although effects vary based on initial cholesterol levels.
  • The average soy protein intake in these studies was about 47 grams per day, and the reductions were about 0.23 mmol/L for total cholesterol, 0.22 mmol/L for LDL cholesterol, and 0.13 mmol/L for triglycerides.
  • While soy protein intake slightly increased HDL ("good") cholesterol by about 0.04 mmol/L, this change was not statistically significant, indicating potential benefits but requiring further research for confirmation.]

@BSV_MetaNet "Conclusions. We found that the consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein significantly decreased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides" Here another meta analysis you can read on: https://t.co/WwAXGdbds0
