Soya Lowers Heart Disease and Cancer Risks

In countries where consumption of Soya beans products is a major component of the diet, cases of coronary heart disease is far much lower. Coronary heart disease occurs when serum cholesterol levels are elevated and low density lipoproteins are oxidized. For every 1% reduction in cholesterol level, the risk of coronary heart disease is reduced by 2%. If you take a diet with 40g of Soya protein per day, you will cut cholesterol levels by 10% thus achieving 20% reduction of coronary heart disease risk. Take 80g of Soya floor and you get 40g of Soya protein. Take 50g of Soya Isolate and you get 40g of Soya protein. Take 1 litre of Soya drink and you get 40g of Soya protein. Soya targets low density lipoproteins and undesirable triglycerides without significantly reducing good cholesterol, high density lipoprotein.
