Effect of 4-Week Consumption of Soy Kori-tofu on Cardiometabolic Health Markers: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Cross-Over Trial in Adults with Mildly Elevated Cholesterol Levels.

ABSTRACT: Kori-tofu is a frozen soy tofu, and soy consumption is associated with positive effects on cardiometabolic health markers. We aimed to assess the potential of Kori-tofu to improve cardiometabolic health outcomes in humans by repetitive daily consumption. In a double-blind randomized controlled cross-over trial, 45 subjects aged 40-70 years with (mildly) elevated cholesterol levels, received a four week Kori-tofu intervention or whey protein control intervention with a four week wash-out period in between. Cardiometabolic biomarkers were measured before and after both interventions. A significant decrease in total, low-density lipids (LDL), and high-density lipids (HDL) cholesterol, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fructosamine and systolic blood pressure was observed within the Kori-tofu interventi
