Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to assess the effects of soymilk plus probiotics co-administration on cardiovascular risk factors in T2DM patients.
Methods: One hundred patients with T2DM (aged 40-75 years old) were randomly assigned into 4 groups (soymilk + probiotics supplement, soymilk + placebo, conventional milk + placebo, and probiotics supplement) for 6 weeks. Standard protocols were followed for the collection of fasting blood samples, dietary intakes, and anthropometric measurements.
Results: It was shown that soymilk + probiotics consumption significantly decreased diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p = 0.001), triglycerides (TG) (P < 0.001), total cholesterol (TC) (p < 0.01), and insulin (P < 0.003) levels and significantly increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (P = 0.002) levels. Soymilk + placebo administration significantly decreased DBP (p = 0.01), insulin (p = 0.006), and TG (p = 0.001) levels and significantly increased HDL-C (p = 0.03) levels. A significant decrease in insulin (p = 0.003) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p = 0.01) levels and an increase in HDL-C (p = 0.04) levels were observed after supplementation with probiotics. Findings from between-group comparisons showed a significant decrease in SBP levels in the probiotics supplement group compared to conventional milk group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Soymilk and probiotics consumption might improve some cardiovascular risk factors in patients with T2DM. However, possible synergic effects while consumption of soymilk plus probiotics supplement didn't show in this study which warranted further research.

The replacement of dairy has recently been one of the market efforts to fulfill such demand. Yet, challenges arise when consumers are reluctant to accept plant-based milk (PBM) due to the mismatch of organoleptic profile between PBM and the actual dairy.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of a multicomponent rehabilitation exercise, coupled with soymilk intake post-exercise, on cognitive impairment and ischemic lesion growth among acute stroke patients.
Methods: In a four-arm, single-blind, randomized clinical trial, 120 patients with acute stroke were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: 1) the MRE + soymilk, 2) the MRE, 3) the soymilk, and 4) the control group. Each group underwent their respective intervention for a continuous duration of 20 days.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the impact of replacing animal protein with black soybeans on metabolic health in individuals with prediabetes and obesity, focusing on advanced glycation end products (dAGEs).
- A 16-week randomized trial involved participants consuming either pork or black soymilk, which led to a significant reduction in dAGE intake and improvements in oxidative stress and gut microbiota health.
- Results indicated that black soymilk consumption lowered blood AGE levels and oxidative stress markers compared to pork, suggesting potential dietary changes to improve metabolic disorders.

The selection of appropriate starter cultures is a crucial factor in determining the quality of fermented soymilk products. This study evaluated the effects of a combined starter culture of Enterococcus faecium CGMCC 29309 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CGMCC 29306 on the microbiological, physicochemical, textural and rheological characteristics of fermented soymilk. The results indicated that the mixed-strain fermentation significantly increased the concentrations of free isoflavones, free amino acids, free fatty acids, and aroma compound acetaldehyde, 2,3-butanedione and acetoin, and significantly reduced the level of beany compound hexanal.
