Combination of Soy With a Probiotic or Prebiotic Food Significantly Reduces Cholesterol
Blood Weekly — February 19, 2009 — Research findings, ‘Dietary combination of soy with a probiotic or prebiotic food significantly reduces total and LDL cholesterol in mildly hypercholesterolaemic subjects,’ are discussed in a new report (see also http://www.newsrx.com/library/topics/Life-Sciences.html). According to a study from Australia, "We hypothesized that a dietary combination of soy with either a probiotic (yoghurt) or a prebiotic (resistant starch) would result in enhanced lipid-lowering effects compared with a control soy diet, possibly via improvements in isoflavone bioavailability. Mildly hypercholesterolaemic subjects (men and post-menopausal women) older than 45 years were recruited via the local media." Click Here for the Full Story.
