Does probiotic fermented soy have benefit against obesity?
As the health care costs keep rising on account of the epidemic of obesity, scientists are looking at more and more unconventional strategies to combat the curse of extra weight.
Dr. Manzoni and colleagues from Brazil studied the effect of a soy product fermented by two probiotics (Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus jugurti) in rats. The rats were fed a chow diet or Soy diet as above. The results were published in the journal Nutrition .
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
They found that the soy had beneficial effect on fat pads in the body. This was likely due to the fact that the fat cell size was significantly smaller in the rats fed fermented soy diet. In addition, the data showed that the fermentation of probiotic was responsible for enhancing the anti-fat effects of the soy diet on the fat cells.
The authors concluded that this fermented soy diet might be another option to pursue for obesity prevention.
While this study was done in rats, the results look very promising. The soy products and probiotics have many beneficial effects on health and it would be a coup if these results can be duplicated in humans.
