How does soy consumption affect the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases?

A higher intake of plant protein could effectively improve metabolic health and lower CVD mortality. Recently, scientists in China reviewed existing literature and conducted a meta-analysis to understand the association between increased soy consumption and the risk of T2D and CVDs. This review is available in the journal Nutrients.
