In the study of "Participants' willingness to consume soy foods for lowering cholesterol and receive counselling on cardiovascular disease by nutrition professionals" by
Schryver T, Smith C., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that Participants believed diet, lifestyle and genetics were the cause of high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Few participants were aware of the Food and Drug Administration health claim for soy protein, yet many were willing to consume soy
as part of lifestyle modification to prevent CVD. They reported
preferring food and exercise over medication to treat high cholesterol.
Few participants had ever received dietary advice from physicians on
treating high cholesterol or CVD, and most doubted the accuracy of such
advice. They believed registered dietitians were the most credible
source of nutrition counselling and expressed an interest in physician
referrals to dietitians. A collaboration and referral system between physicians and registered dietitians could increase CVD patients' consumption of soy foods as a means potentially leading to a reduced risk of heart disease in participants.
