Disease description:

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Man
Patients with atherosclerosis can generally consume soy lecithin. Soy lecithin is a byproduct obtained during the refining of soybean oil and is an essential substance extracted from soybeans. The abundant lecithin it contains can help lower blood cholesterol levels and, to some extent, prevent atherosclerosis. Moderate consumption is relatively beneficial for the health of patients with atherosclerosis.
