    This experiment was undertaken to investigate the hypocholesterolemic effect of prepared soy milk (PSM).
    Experiment 1: In order to study the effect of three different oils (soybean, corn, sunflower oil) and soybean-phospholipids (soybean-lecithin: LEC) on serum cholesterol (CHOL), rats were fed a hypercholesterolemic diets for two weeks. The values of serum CHOL in rats fed sunflower oil, corn oil and soybean oil were 166mg/dl, 175mg/dl and 227mg/dl respectively. These values were lower than that (275mg/dl) in rats fed casein-lard diet. The values of serum CHOL in rats fed 0% soybean-LEC (corn oil group), 0.3% soybean-LEC and 3% soybean-LEC diets were 175mg/dl, 186mg/dl and 160mg/dl respectively.
    Experiment 2: In order to examine the CHOL-lowering effect of PSM and milk on hypothyroid hypercholesterolemia induced by 2-thiouracil (TU), rats were fed a diet with or without 0.3% TU for three weeks. The values of serum CHOL in rats fed PSM, PSM-TU, milk or milk-TU were 67mg/dl, 119mg/dl, 70mg/dl and 128mg/dl respectively.
    These results suggest that prepared soy milk is capable of alleviating exogenous hypercholesterolemia, but not of improving endogenous hypercholesterolemia.

    University students (297 males, 21.5 years old; 233 females, 20.5 years old) were asked to answer a questionnaire on food and health.
    1) Forty-nine percent of males and 61% of females considered their food intake sufficient to maintain their health while 34% of males and 19% of females considered it insufficient (difference between sex, p<0.01). As for their food intake requirements, 37% of males and 64% of females answered that they had knowledge about the requirements while 26% of males and 4% of females answered that they did not (difference between sex, p<0.01).
    2) Significant correlation was found between the subjective evaluation of food intake and their idea of sufficiency to maintain health for males for seven groups (excluding the meat group) (p<0.05) and for females for four food groups (cereals, pulses, vegetables and algae) (p<0.01). Among males, there was a correlation between awareness of food intake requirements and the food intake volumes for four food groups (cereals, pulses, meat and algae) (p<0.05).
    3) There were more males (63%) than females (27%) who had regular bowel movements every day, while 17% of males and 19% of females had bowel movements less than three times a week, showing a significant difference between sex (p<0.001). Both males (84%) and females (96%) tended to consider that constipation can affect their health while more males with irregular bowel movements answered that they did not agree with this statement (difference between sex; p<0.001).

    Short term intensive guidance (once a week for 7 weeks) for dietary and daily habits was given to 88 subjects selected from a group judged as having abnormal glucose tolerance (>1 GT) in a health screening for adults in a suburban rural area, and its effect on the control of glycemia was studied.
    1) Subjects who were obese under BMI classification decreased from 29 (32.6%) to 20 (23.3%).
    2) Glycemia 2 hours postprandially decreased (from 165.5±48.6mg/dl to 166.5±60.5mg/dl for males) significantly (p<0.001) from 161.2+56.6mg/dl to 151.1±53.3mg/dl for females.
    3) Fructosaminemia was significantly improved in both males and females.
    4) As for food intakes, the intake of rice decreased for both males and females and that of sweets decreased for females.
    5) As for improvement in the dietary contents as reflected in the change in ratios of intake energy by nutritive substances, fat energy and protein energy ratios increased for males and females respectively, and glucose energy ratio decreased significantly for females.

    The specific volume and rheological properties of bread samples added with Japanese pumpkin, carrot or powdered green tea were investigated. The result was as follows.
    1) The specific volume of bread samples prepared by adding 20% of pumpkin or carrot was the same as or slightly larger than the control, and decreased with an increase in the amount of vegetables except for cooked carrot.
    2) Further addition of pumpkin resulted in increased hardness and elasticity of bread. Relaxation rate of pumpkin bread was high, reflecting its poor property to restore to the original shape as it was hard and inelastic.
    3) The quality of bread added with raw ground carrot was good even with the increased addition.
    4) When the addition of powdered green tea was 2.5%, puffiness and texture of bread were poor.
    The result indicates adequate amounts of pumpkin, carrot and powdered green tea were 40%, 40% and 2.5% respectively.
