10 Foods That Lower Cholesterol
Foods That Lower Cholesterol #8: Soy
Soybeans, and related products made from the soybeans such as tofu or soy milk, were once widely regarded as effective methods for fighting LDL cholesterol. They still are powerful cholesterol reducers, but because of some of the stigma associated with soy these days, people are afraid to use soy as a medicinal food.
Studies have revealed that the most effective way to use soy for cholesterol reduction is to use no more than 25 grams of soy protein. That’s about 10 ounces of tofu, or a couple cups of soy milk. Doing this can reduce the levels of LDL by up to 6%.
