SWITCH trial: swapping processed soy foods in a heart-healthy diet
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether swapping highly processed soy foods for less processed soy foods, as part of a heart-healthy diet, can improve blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight in adults with obesity and high blood pressure. It may be a good option if you have type 2 diabetes and are already on stable medications.
