Canadian studies have shown that eating more soy lowers blood lipids.

Original title: Canadian Study: Eating Soy Lowers Blood Fat
A new study published recently in the Journal of Nutrition at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada, shows that soy protein has a cholesterol-lowering effect.
comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed removing soy from its list of heart-healthy foods, but researchers hope to determine whether soy is good or bad for heart health. They analyzed data from 46 related meta-trials, 43 of which provided data on total cholesterol, and 41 examined the effects of soy protein on LDL cholesterol, or bad cholesterol. The results showed that soy protein reduced LDL cholesterol in adults by 3% to 4%. Although this number is small, it has been able to play a significant role in preventing cardiovascular disease.
lead author of the study, Dr. David Jenkins, said that while the new study has limitations, such as the need to expand the included trial data, the results show a close relationship between soy protein and heart health. People who are used to eating high-saturated foods or meats will see their cholesterol levels drop even more significantly if they can eat more soy products. Health Canada recently released a Food Guide, which emphasizes that Canadians should eat foods rich in plant protein. This is consistent with the results of our new study. Dr Jenkins suggests that the public should consider a plant-based diet as a healthy option.
