I generally stay away from soy, aside from occasionally eating natto or other Japanese foods with it.

However, this should help those who are in need for reducing LDL and are not picky about the use of soy. It appears to greatly help.

Good news is that is lowers LDL, bad news it makes men grow breasts.

Would that same protein be found in sufficient quantities in soy milk to have the same kind of health impact?

(Also, ConservativeMind, and others reading this, do you have any sources of information or reliable links pertaining to the pros and cons of drinking unsweetened soy milk?)

There are other ways to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, such as the sugar cane extract policosanol. However I learned from personal experience that policosanol can cause the same unpleasant side effects as the drug lipitor. And it wouldn’t surprise me if this soy extract has the same problem.

I can’t say I’m a fan of soy, at all. I’d wait for this B vitamin to be isolated.

I’m also not convinced the cholesterol model of heart disease is correct. Statins do help prevent cardiac events, bjt they’re also powerful antinflamatories. There’s a few conflicting studies re LDL causing problems.

Take two soy beans and call me in the morning.

Nope. Soy makes me uncomfortable on the innards.

Soy is found in a lot of processed canned foods. Except for East Asian meals, I try to avoid it as I do high fructose corn syrup.

I generally stay away from soy...

This article's info is good to know for people who can handle soy. It's tough tooties for people with thyroid illness and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Can You Eat Soy If You Have a Thyroid Condition?

One of your earlier posts about fatty liver seemed promising:
B vitamins can potentially be used to treat advanced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (B-12 and/or Folate)
