A number of studies have shown that consuming soy protein can reduce the risk of heart disease – primarily because soy helps to reduce levels of LDL cholesterol.
Now a new study in the Journal of Nutrition shows that this benefit extends to people with type 2 diabetes, who are especially high risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack. Researchers found that consuming 40 grams of soy per day for two months significantly lowered LDL cholesterol levels in a small group of subjects with type 2 diabetes.
