研究表明,基于植物的肉类可以在成年人中将胆固醇总量降低6%,将LDL降低12%。 Study shows plant-based meat can lower total cholesterol by 6% and LDL by 12% in adults.

《美国临床营养杂志》的一项研究发现,在无心脏病的成年人中,改用基于植物的肉类替代品长达8周可以将胆固醇和“坏”胆固醇(LDL)的总量降低6%,将胆固醇(LDL)降低12%。 A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that switching to plant-based meat alternatives for up to eight weeks can lower total cholesterol by 6% and "bad" cholesterol (LDL) by 12% in adults without heart disease. 虽然体重略减1%,但被认为并不显著。 While there was a slight weight loss of 1%, it wasn't considered significant. 研究人员指出,需要开展长期研究,以充分了解这些替代品对健康的影响。 Researchers noted that long-term studies are needed to fully understand the health impacts of these alternatives.
