Description:
SOY PROTEIN PROTECTS AGAINST HEART DISEASE--Analysis
of a number of research studies showed soy
protein lowers total and LDL (bad) cholesterol
and triglycerides, while not decreasing HDL
(good) cholesterol in individuals with high
levels of cholesterol. Each drop of 10% to 15%
in the LDL level decreases the risk of a heart
attack by 20% to 25%.
The evidence of cardiovascular benefits is
strong enough that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has authorized nutritional
labels claiming that, at least 25 grams of soy
protein a day, as part of a low-fat diet, can
lower blood cholesterol levels in people who
have high cholesterol. Soy protein also tends to
inhibit LDL (cholesterol) oxidation resulting in
decreasing the onset of clogged arteries.
SOY PROTEIN AND MENOPAUSE--SOY contains
several isoflavones. Two of these, genistein and
daidzein are the most potent phytoestrogens
known. Phytoestrogens are similar to the female
hormone estrogen. These substances act as an
estrogen regulator. Because phytoestrogens and
estrogens seek to occupy the same receptor sites
they act as an estrogen limiter or an estrogen
supplement. This may explain why cultures which
consume a diet high in soy report few menopausal
symptoms.
SOY PROTEIN AND OSTEOPOROSIS--The
isolfavones found in soy may aid in maintaining
bone mineral density. Consumption of soy protein
by post menopausal women could result in
beneficial increases in bone mineral density in
the spine.
SOY PROTEIN AND ENDOMETRIOIS--The
phytoestrogens in soy may decrease the symptoms
of endometriosis in much the same way they
affect menopause symptoms.
SOY PROTEIN AND PROSTATE--Soy protein may
also guard against enlargement of the prostate
gland. Thus, reducing urination difficulties
associated with aging. |
