A Food That Reduces Appetite
The Journal of Nutrition, vol. 133, 2003, reports CCK*, a natural substance produced in endocrine cells and secreted into the bloodstream, "suppresses food intake by inducing a feeling of satiety 'fullness.]..." Soy apparently induces CCK.

Even more promising is that "feeding a raw soy protein diet has been shown to 'actually] reduce body weight gain." Researchers have also found that B-conglycinin, one of the major components of soy protein, is effective in reducing...tryglyceride and cholesterol levels in 'animals.] Apparently, it is this substance that also plays an important role in inducing CCK, the appetite suppressant.

DETAILS: By eating raw soy beans, it would seem, one would get maximal benefit. Many supermarkets now sell imported raw frozen soy beans. Many folks enjoy eating them, defrosted or not, uncooked. The unheated protease inhibitors in raw beans are anti-cancer as well. This has been reported by Dr. Ann Kennedy at the U. of Penn. Med. School, and by Dr. Walter Troll, formerly of N.Y.U. Medical School.
