March 29/Chicago/American College of Cardiology -- Individuals who ingest the highest amounts of soy protein in a day appear to see a significant lowering of their systolic blood pressure, researchers reported.
Compared to the participants in a government-funded study who ingested the least amount of soy protein, the highest level of soy intake correlated with a 5.52mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure (P<0.05), Safiya Richardson, a medical student at Columbia University in New York, reported at the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology.
