Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
