Soy is QuestionedA committee from the American Heart Association took a look at a decade’s worth of research regarding soy protein and heart disease. What they found is that soy protein doesn’t lower LDL as much as originally thought; but it is useful when it replaces foods that are packed with cholesterol and saturated fat. This work was published in the journal Circulation. FMI see "Soy Protein, Isoflavones, and Cardiovascular Health.
