摘要

A method of providing enteral nutritional support to a person who is currently undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy involves including in the person's diet an enteral nutritional product having a protein system which includes a soy protein hydrolysate. The nutritional product is very low in folic acid, contains -carotene, and has a ratio of n-6 to n-3 fatty acids that is in the range of about 1. 3:1 to 2. 5:1.
