Dried soya mince contains about 50 g of soya protein per
100 g (37 oz). A serving of the sauce would give you 18 g of
soya protein, and if eaten regularly you could expect a total
and LDL cholesterol lowering effect of 7 per cent.
If you finished your meal with a portion of soya yogurt,
you could boost your total soya protein intake to 24 g, just
short of the 25 g recommended daily intake. You could also
expect to lower your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol
significantly by an average of 10 per cent in total cholesterol.
