Can soy products lower cholesterol?
Soy products can help lower cholesterol. In fact, the FDA has approved a statement for the labels of soy products, that 25 grams of soy protein per day can lower cholesterol. You can get 25 grams fairly easy. One cup of soy milk has 8 to 10 grams soy protein. 1/4 cup of soy nuts has 12 grams soy protein. Plus, there are so many products on the market now — veggie burgers, even soy lunch meats that are turkey, ham, bologna-flavored, and snack bars. It’s important to see how many grams of soy protein are in these products. Some use combination wheat and soy protein or whey and soy protein.
