SOY: DIMINISHED DIABETES, ARTHRITIS, CHOLESTEROL, BLOOD PRESSURE, TRIGLYCERIDE

DO NOT GO TO THE GROCERY STORE HUNGRY!

Not even one day later we have even more evidence to alternate protein sources from animal sources to soy or non-animal sources. This is strong evidence supporting alternatives to your dietary intake

Soy protein consumption significantly affected cardiovascular risks such as fasting plasma glucose (mean change in the soy protein versus control groups: –18 ± 3 vs. 11 ± 2 mg/dl; P = 0.03), total cholesterol (–23 ± 5 vs. 10 ± 3 mg/dl; P = 0.01), LDL cholesterol (–20 ± 5 vs. 6 ± 2 mg/dl; P = 0.01), and serum triglyceride (–24 ± 6 vs. –5 ± 2 mg/dl; P = 0.01) concentrations. Serum CRP levels were significantly decreased by soy protein intake compared with those in the control group (1.31 ± 0.6 vs. 0.33 ± 0.1 mg/l; P = 0.02). Significant improvements were also seen in proteinuria (–0.15 ± 0.03 vs. 0.02 ± 0.01 g/day; P = 0.001) and urinary creatinine (–1.5 ± 0.9 vs. 0.6 ± 0.3 mg/dl, P = 0.01) by consumption of soy protein.
