Can soy be recommended in a cholesterol-lowering diet?
All soy products are 100% vegetable and are naturally cholesterol-free. Soy is also rich in good polyunsaturated fatty acids and low in bad saturated fatty acids. But above all, studies have shown that a daily intake of 25g of soy protein – in a diet with limited amounts of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol – can have a cholesterol-lowering effect (JHCI 2002).
