Singapore (AHN) - Researchers found dark soy sauce is 10 times more effective than red wine and 150 times more potent than Vitamin C at slowing signs of aging.
Antioxidants found in red wine, fruits and vegetables not only help protect against human cell damage but also help prevent aliments like Parkinson's Disease, cancer and heart disease.
The National University of Singapore research also showed that soy sauce improves blood flow.
"There's a preventative aspect, showing that it may potentially slow down the rate of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases," said Barry Halliwell, research team leader and professor.
Halliwell said too much soy sauce should not be consumed because of it's high salt content.
