> If you've been hesitant about trying tofu in

the past, it may be time to give it a go. Eating more tofu and less meat

could be good for your heart.

> In a recent study, two groups of people ate

similar diets, but the participants in one group ate 290 grams (about a cup)

of tofu per day while the participants in the other group ate 150 grams of

lean meat per day. After one month, the tofu group had significantly lower

total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Lower blood-fat levels could

translate into lower heart disease risk over time.
