Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] was measured in
four groups of ambulatory adults ages 17 to 94 at our lifestyle
enhancement center for chronic degenerative diseases because
of our preliminary evidence that soy milks made of soy protein
isolate included in the basic total vegetarian diet of unrefined
foods was associated with an elevated LP(a) as measured by
enzyme immunoassay on fasting serum samples.
The authors concluded that powdered soy
milk significantly increases the LP(a) and should be excluded
from the diet.
