Recent
research work has shown that buckwheat protein as part of the diet
lowers blood cholesterol substantially. Buckwheat protein was found
to soak up cholesterol from food and prevent it from being absorbed
in the small intestine. Dr. Kayashita, a nutritionist at Hiroshima
University, found that this buckwheat protein is not digested, so
it carries the cholesterol out of the body.
The
latest investigations show that buckwheat is more effective at lowering
cholesterol than the soy protein isolates that are being sold for
that purpose.
