Practical Implications
In summary, soyfoods may make important contributions to heart-healthy diets by:
- Providing high-quality protein but minimal amounts of saturated fat
- Directly lowering blood cholesterol levels
- Modestly elevating HDLC and decreasing triglyceride levels
- Providing ample amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids
- Favorably affecting CHD risk factors independent of lipid levels, such as endothelial function, systemic arterial compliance, LDLC oxidation, LDLC particle size and blood pressure
