there is a rather large anti-soy movement out there, based on some studies that are real and relavent, but the conclusions are often poorly used.<br><br><br><br>
what i've found is, through the studies that i've read, is that too much soy isn't good for you. But how much is too much soy? well, it's a crazy amount of soy--like soy is all that you are eating ever. WHen they did the study (on animals no less!), they gave the animals a soy-only diet that consisted of something like 4 times the usual amounts that humans get in a regular diet that includes soy and in vegetarian diets. So, these animals came up sick--well, no wonder.<br><br><br><br>
1. all they ate was soy;<br><br>
2. they ate more soy than a human would eat anyway (not in quanity, but percentage by mass or weight, you know?); and<br><br>
3. mice have different nutritional requirements than humans anyway--so their normal healthy diet would look drastically different than ours, so perhaps any human diet would make mice sick (i dunno).<br><br><br><br>
anyway, it's worth looking at, and particularly the human studies, but i am not overly concerned. I get a decent amount of soy each day--say 2 or 3 servings, if that much. I'm sure i'm going to be ok. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="
