Researchers at Columbia University in New York found that people who consumed more soy protein than non-soy eating counterparts had much lower blood pressure.
The data suggest that the isoflavones in soy work to boost the body’s natural production of nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels, resulting in lower blood pressure.
The study’s author notes that soy protein would ideally replace other protein sources, not supplement them because the additional calories would not be healthy if additional protein is added instead of simply replaced.
Note: If you’re planning on adding more soy into your diet, shop for good quality. Some of the cheaper types of soy are processed with chemicals that are actually harmful to the body in the long run and GMO modified.

I”ve read a lot about soy and am quite convinced that it is NOT so great after all.
Just google The whole soy story and you”ll get a lot of information.
Perhaps soy is fine if you don’t mind genetically modified nutrition in your diet.
Soy has supposedly no upside unless it is fermented naturally as done in Japanese cuisine. This needs to be explained, much better than done here.
It is otherwise a fake food. Surely you authors have done your research before blindly spouting something like this?
It really undoes what otherwise is a good source of info.
“They” need to make up their minds is soy helpful or is it harmful?
I think you need to distinguish between fermented soy and regular soy. The beneifts of soy were found in the Asian population – but they eat their soy fermented. That is not something we usually integrate into our North American diet. Unfermented soy can hurt your thyroid – and can cause a host of other problems. Because it is relatively cheap to grow it is used in a wide variety of processed foods – my advice is unless you learn to eat fermented soy don’t touch a product that contains soy.
agree for non GMO products,as well as tempe and other legumens,regards.
I agree with all comments above. Soy is always being pushed as some kind of super food. It’s not….not unless, like mentioned above, it’s fermented like they do and Asia. My Chinese holistic MD doesn’t recommend consuming it. Not only is is soy in the USA genetically modified but women should think twice before consuming it (ithas phytoestrogens that could cause problems down the road). Researchers at Columbia U. should know better and maybe you should weigh everything in the balances before you publish them!
We don’t need (Never) need any GMO product (.) and as for production of nitric oxide just take, 4 grams of Arginine and 500 megs of Citrulline twice a day, and you will get all the nitric oxide you need.
Cheers
I am taking it for my lower levels of oestrogen as ,I am in menopause.
My systolic pressures have risen to 180mmhg whne I am naxious.
So I have change dmy diet ,completely to include all the foods lowering blood pressure.
My gynae has advised to go on isoflavonoidsin phyto soya.
I would believe that when the level of oestrogen normalises the blood vessels do dilate.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm……..
I wonder how much the ‘researchers’ at CU NY were
paid for that phony ‘research result’ by the likes
of Big Soy(processors).. Big GMO(Monsanto et al)..
Big Health(FDA, CDC, AMA, & all the other ABC’s).
Their ‘profits’ must have been sagging and needed a
‘booster shot’ to up their dinero levels yet again.
Whatever the ‘health’ ABC’s say.. “DO THE OPPOSITE”.

Make your mind up properly…who is telling the truth..
Is there any truth left on this planet…I wonder..
“““““““““““““““““““““““““““`
I’m with you Coskun.. and all those who commented above
against “ANY SOY” that isn’t fermented.
Sadly.. as usual.. these ‘reports’ at blueheron seem to
consistently lack anything remotely like essential-level
depth of REAL INFORMATION DETAIL. I’ve tried to take a
fair view over quite a long time of visiting and reading
but won’t be back as the quality of info is consistently
at the low end of the scale… but I’ll be staying with
the REAL educators sites where they provide real value.
This site seemed OK at first but the pattern I see here
now is []catchy headline.. []pretty picture.. []brief(as)
vague ‘article’ as to really be virtually meaningless..
[]followed by a “Click here&link” to (product for $$$$$$)
See you at the real educators and real health providers.

We need much more than soya to help have proper levels of blood pressure.Read my new book ‘SELLING SICKNESS’, sub-titled How To Take Control Of Your Own Health, to learn how to do so. ISBN Number is 978 0 9551051 8 0. As a practicing Naturopath, now 84 years young, I have helped thousands attain better health by adopting and abiding by my slogans ‘WE ARE AS WE EAT,DRINK, SLEEP and Exercise or ‘A CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE CAN WORK WONDERS’.
There are 3 different types of Oestrogen . One is very harmfull one is very good one is inbetween . one can convert to the other . This process is whats important. .. :www.realcuresletter.com”
I don’t consider soy a healthy food, what with its estrogenic compounds and the fact that it inhibits the activation of thyroid hormone. Who needs foods that disrupt your hormones ?
what’s up great job on the info for this topic looking forward to reading more.
I enjoyed reading this. Thank a lot for doing such a good job. I’ll definitely return to this site to read more and recommend my neighbors about your writing
