soy and cholesterol health claims
Under normal circumstances, the bloodstream does a very efficient job of carrying the LDL and HDL Lipoproteins throughout the body.
In fact, a national health and nutrition survey of over 8,000 American adults concludes that one third of the population is overweight.
What are good and bad cholesterol? HDL "good cholesterol" helps clean fat and cholesterol from arteries, carrying it to the liver for removal from the body. LDL "bad cholesterol" deposits cholesterol in your arteries and causes them to become clogged.
