April 23/New York/Huffington Post -- Researchers have discovered that those who have a soy protein-rich diet reduce the amount of fatty deposits that accumulate around the liver, which can lead to liver disease.
Scientists from the University of Illinois found that soy protein, derived from non-animal sources such as tofu and natural yogurt, significantly slashes the amount of fat and triglycerides (a type of fat found in the bloodstream and tissue) in the liver.
