course of a long period of time ... This is related to annual weight gain,
low levels of inflammation and oxidative stress. Those are the onset
processes of disease that debilitate people later in life"

Phytosterols supplementation decreases plasma small and dense LDL levels in
metabolic syndrome patients on a westernized type diet - Nutr Metab
Cardiovasc Dis. 2011 Feb 11 - "After 2 months supplementation with
phytosterols, a significant reduction in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol,
small and dense LDL (sdLDL) levels, as well as, apoB and triglycerides
concentrations were observed in the intervention group (P < 0.05) compared
to the control group. In addition, phytosterol supplementation lowered serum
total cholesterol by 15.9%, LDL-cholesterol by 20.3% and triglyceride levels
by 19.1% (P = 0.02, P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively), although the
patients kept their habitual westernized type diet. No differences were
observed in HDL cholesterol, apoA1, glucose, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen
levels and blood pressure"

phytochemicals decrease nonsmall cell lung cancer growth in female
athymic mice - J Nutr. 2008 Jul;138(7):1360-4 -
"soy phytochemicals slow the in vivo growth
of NSCLC xenografts; the modulation of the Akt-signaling pathway
observed in tumors of SSE-treated mice may have a role in the
activity observed. Our research provides further support for the
concept that consumption of phytoestrogens may be effective in
delaying lung cancer progression"
