Question
I'm curious about whether soy milk really helps in lowering LDL cholesterol and if it's good for the heart. How much soy milk would be safe for someone with heart issues to drink?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Soy milk is indeed beneficial for heart health as it contains plant-based proteins and is low in saturated fats. The presence of soy protein in soy milk has been shown to help reduce LDL cholesterol levels. For heart health benefits, it is recommended for a heart patient to consume around 25 grams of soy protein per day. This is roughly equivalent to 2-3 cups of soy milk daily. Regular consumption of soy milk as part of a balanced diet can contribute to a healthy heart.
