Kori-tofu is a frozen soy tofu, and soy consumption is associated with positive effects on cardiometabolic health markers. We aimed to assess the potential of Kori-tofu to improve cardiometabolic health outcomes in humans by repetitive daily consumption. In a double-blind randomized controlled cross-over trial, 45 subjects aged 40–70 years with (mildly) elevated cholesterol levels, received a four week Kori-tofu intervention or whey protein control intervention with a four week wash-out period in between. Cardiometabolic biomarkers were measured before and after both interventions. A significant decrease in total, low-density lipids (LDL), and high-density lipids (HDL) cholesterol, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fructosamine and systolic blood pressure was observed within the Kori-tofu intervention. However, many of these findings were also observed in the control intervention. Only adiponectin changes were different between treatments but did not change significantly within interventions. Improvements in cardiometabolic markers within the Kori-tofu intervention point toward potential beneficial health effects. Due to the lack of significant effects as compared to control, there is, however, currently no substantiating evidence to claim that Kori-tofu has beneficial effects on cardiometabolic health.
