Impact of Soymilk on Liver Disease Severity of Children With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

A randomized, controlled study of standard soy milk consumption compared to 2% fat cow's milk consumption in children with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The investigators hypothesize that the daily consumption of soy isoflavones found in the soy milk will be beneficial in reducing NAFLD and other obesity-related comorbidities. The investigators do not expect any adverse endocrine or metabolomic effects from the consumption of soy isoflavones.
