Question Soy Shakes for Weight Loss?

Hi all!

I am going to post this on several boards, because I know there are many different reasons people use soy products.

Recently, I came across a study that claimed soy was some sort of miracle product! It helps with: hormonal imbalances, digestive problems, skin problems, fibromyalgia, and weight loss, allergies, etc. I have some of those things I have just listed.

Just curious if anyone has tried soy shakes / soy protein shakes, and if they saw either health benefits or weight loss. I know that soy is good for hormone imbalances, but I didn't realize it had so many claims to fame! GNC has a soy powder for women that you add to water, and add whatever you wish - fruit, etc.

Anyone??

Karen

No doubt funded by some company with a vested
interest in the sale of soy products. Do you have a link to the study so we can evaluate the soundness of it?

For more info on soy, just read some of the links here >>> [url="http://www.mercola.com/article/soy/"]http://www.mercola.com/article/soy/[/url] But be warned that according to this info, soy is far from some miracle health product. It is more like a miracle product for agri-business interests. And consumers are the guinea pigs for evaluation of the long term health effects.
