Paragraph 1
There are many
why Japanese people live
than the rest of us. One reason might be soybean
like tofu, natto and miso. Scientists from the National Institute of Health and Nutrition in Tokyo conducted a
into the health
of soybeans and their products. They found that people who
ate tofu, natto and miso were 10 per cent less likely to die from
killers than people who ate no soybean products. Researchers said eating soybean-based food lowered the
of death from heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular
. They said: "A higher intake of fermented soy products was associated with a
risk of mortality."
