Document Summary

Based on the fda"s conclusion that foods containing soy protein included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of chd by lowering blood cholesterol levels. Studies demonstrate that 25 grams of soy protein daily in the diet is needed to show a significant cholesterol-lowering effect: plant sterol and stanol esters and coronary heart disease. The fda had concluded that plant sterol esters and plant stanol esters may reduce the risk of chd by lowering blood cholesterol levels. To qualify for this health claim, a food must contain at least. 0. 65g of plant sterol esters per serving or at least 1. 7g of plant stanol esters per serving. Is intended for ingestion in pill, capsule, tablet or liquid form. Is not represented for use as a conventional food or as the sole item of a meal diet.
