Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Effects of substituting dietary soybean protein and oil for milk protein and fat in subjects with hypercholesterolemia.
To determine whether, in individuals with hypercholesterolemia, substituting dietary soybean products for cows' milk products improves the plasma lipid profile and whether any change in the profile is due partially to soy oil. ⋯ In people with hypercholesterolemia, the plasma lipid profile improved after treatment with a soybean-product diet, and this improvement was partially due to soy oil. The degree of responsiveness was associated with initial risk factors for coronary artery disease.
