Treatment of dyslipidaemia with a simple low fat diet and with a combination of a low fat diet and a formulation containing soybean protein.

The first approach to treatment of dyslipidaemia is with diet. Currently, modified soybean protein is often included in the diet. A study was made of 32 patients with types IIa and IIb dyslipidaemia to see what changes in blood lipids could be induced by a simple low fat diet and a diet with modified soybean protein substituted for part of the animal protein.
