I'm not on the soy bandwagon, but I do drink soy milk because of I can't digest the lactose in dairy. I can't say whether the statements are true or not, but there's soooo much else that we Americans consume that is dangerous to our heatlth that I just ain't gonna shake on this one. For example:
Sugar: we over-consume tons of refined sugar which is like poison the human digestive system -- lets cut back on THAT!
Wheat: our farming practice is so crazy that instead of "whole wheat" we get this stuff that is so devoid of nutrients (because we strip the soil with chemicals) that we have to put synthetic vitamins and minerals BACK in the final product -- does this make sense?
Dairy Products: we over-feed the cows with so much hormones and salt (so that they get fat and produce way more milk then is "natural), that we have a statistically larger percentage of americians who have developed an allergy to dairy (lactose). I am one of those americans.
I mean, we got major issues with food processing in this country to worry about soy. Furthermore, I've read/heard that the farming industry here in the states is scared S---less that the benefits of soy is gonna leave them flat broke because folks are catching on to this relatively cheap, nutritious, lactose-free source of protein.
I just don't buy it. But, that's just me!
