Soy protein reduces the cholesterol and help to reduce the risk of heart disease. The most important scientific study about the relationship of soy protein intake and heart disease is the meta-study by Anderson et al. They concluded that the consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein significantly decreased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides without significantly affecting serum HDL cholesterol concentrations.
Anthony MS et al found that isoflavones in soy protein improve cardiovascular disease risk factors without apparent deleterious effects on the reproductive system of peripubertal rhesus monkeys (Soybean isoflavones improve cardiovascular risk factors without affecting the reproductive system of peripubertal rhesus monkeys. Journal of Nutrition 1996;126:43-50). Erdman, J.W et all recommend in their study (Soy protein and cardiovascular disease: A statement for healthcare professionals from the nutrition committee of the AHA. Circulation 2000;102(20):2555-9) that including soy protein in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol promotes heart health. They found that the daily consumption of more than 25 g soy protein, with its associated isoflavones, could improve lipid profiles in hypercholesterolemic humans. They also found that soy protein without the isoflavones appears to be less effective in preventing heart disease. Taking isoflavones supplements without soy protein does not lower cholesterol but may provide other cardiovascular benefits.
