Can Soy Lower Cholesterol? Perhaps Not As Much As We Thought

Article continues below and (thank you)

 
The consumption of soy based products has been increasing around the world for many reasons. Sometimes it is ethical, switching to plant based products improves the welfare of animals. Some of us switch to soya because we believe it is better for our health, when compared to milk and animal-based products.

According to a report issued by an American Heart Association committee, the claim that soy-based products can significantly reduce cholesterol levels in humans may not be correct (may be overstated). The committee reviewed studies that had been carried out over the last ten years.

Other claims, that soy products (which contain isoflavone) can help menopausal women with ‘hot flashes', help prevent breast, uterine and prostate cancers have also been disputed by the committee.

The Heart Association recognises other beneficial qualities of soy based products, when compared to animal based products they:

-- Have a high fiber content
-- Have no saturated fat
-- Are high in polyunsaturated fats
-- Are high in vitamins
-- Are high in minerals

Some nutritionists have written to Medical News Today saying that if the five benefits mentioned here are recognised, how is it that the cholesterol benefits are in dispute when a consumer would be eating and drinking animal based products otherwise.
