Soy
Helpful for Diabetics
"Diabetes mellitus is associated with several major long-term
complications, including nephropathy 'kidney disease] and coronary heart
disease....
"A
significant increase in HDL cholesterol 'the good cholesterol]...and in
the LDL 'bad cholesterol] to HDL...ratio were found after
Isolated Soy Protein
'ISP] consumption...'Soy protein is present in high amounts in
soy products.]
"In
conclusion, our results indicate that ISP consumption, in contrast to
casein 'milk protein, which serves as a proxy for animal protein,] in
type 2 diabetic patients with 'kidney disease] can positively influence
several risk factors for coronary heart disease and 'kidney disease]
progression." Emphases added.
