Beneficial effects of tempeh in disease prevention and treatment

Article Abstract:

Tempeh may be effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Tempeh is made from fermented soybeans and is a major protein source in many countries. Several studies have shown that soy protein can lower cholesterol, but there was little evidence that tempeh had this characteristic. A few studies have shown that tempeh can indeed lower choesterol as well as reduce the duration of diarrhea in children. Animal studies show that it can inhibit atherosclerosis also.
