Soy may prevent liver disease
Soya milk and tofu may reduce the build-up of harmful fat in the liver, scientists have said.
New research suggests soy protein may protect against “fatty liver disease”, a condition linked to obesity that can lead to liver failure.
Study leader Dr Hong Chen, from the University of Illinois, said: “When fat accumulates in an organ that’s not supposed to store fat, like the liver, that organ’s vital function can be dangerously compromised.”
