Soy nuts to you

Just pulled this off one of the websites I troll ..

In a prospective trial, replacing 25 grams of protein with half a cup of soy nuts (dry-roasted soybeans) lowered systolic blood pressure 9.9% and diastolic 6.8% in hypertensive women, said Francine K. Welty, M.D., Ph.D., of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center here, and colleagues.
It also dropped low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 11% and apolipoprotein B by 8%, they reported in the May 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.

The study only ran for 8 weeks ... and it was with soy nuts .. not any other type of soy supplement ..

I've just started eating soy nuts daily because I thought it would help my hot flashes. Now I can also lower my bad cholesterol? How sweet is that! And, they taste good too!
