NORTH CAROLINA —A recent study conducted at Wake Forest School of Medicine and reported by Medical News Today found that consuming soy could improve heart health.

It is noted that in the US , heart disease is one of the leading causes of death.

The study analyzed a group of monkeys; the researchers noted that their bodily functions are very similar to humans. They split the monkeys into 2 groups; one group consuming a soy-rich diet, while the other group consumed a protein-rich diet.

The team found that the group that consumed a soy-rich diet saw significant improvements in their cholesterol levels, compared to the group that consumed a protein-rich diet.
