Post Soy: Good or BAD?

we have heard about soy's benefits, but if you do a search online for soy, along with the benefits you will also find alot of dangers of consuming soy. now i don't know how legimate both these claims are but think i am going to stay away from soy now.

one of the dangers mentioned of consuming soy is that it shrinks the brain! and can actually cause many cancers!
do a ssearch online for soy danger or dangers.

Hi

I read around the internet and this is what I found:

Soy Protein: Not properly processed in the body will stop digesting of protein, necessary for overall body function.

I guess it depends on what kind of soy, how much of soy you consume and how well your individual body is able to metabolize soy.

It is impossible to sort out all that is being said about soy. From a personally experience, I am very wary of too much of the stuff.

One area of agreement, even by anti-soy people, is that fermented soy products are okay, at least in moderation. So I stick to tempeh and miso.

I'm sure that soy is just like any other food. If you eat too much of it, its not good for you. Use all foods in moderation.

Question

Hello, I've never had any problem with it from an adult perspective. I remember seeing that soy baby formula is not good for babies, but I never gave my son that when he was a baby anyway so I can not vouch for the validity on that. My hubby and mother-in-law eat lots of soy products like it's going out of style. They have soy sauce everyday, but they are Chinese. I love the Soy Jerky and the baked tofu in the Chinese grocery stores. I really think that it depends if you are allergic to it just like peanuts, or if it isn't fully cooked or processed like poultry or soft cheese. They even use soy beans as a filler in famous fast food restaurants; even if they claim it's an all beef patty, it still has soy filler in it. My mom used to use breadcrumbs as filler in her hamburgers, so I'm not talking about home-made hamburgers. Soy is very high in protein, so if you have trouble with protein you may not want to eat a lot of it. It's supposed to be good for perimenopausal and menopausal women. I will admit that we never eat the silken or soft tofu. We always eat the firm, hard, baked, or dried tofu/bean curd. We always cook the firm or hard in soup or fry it. The only tofu we will eat right out of the packet or jar are baked or dried. I've seen one of my American friends eat raw (firm) tofu in a salad and she likes it, but it turns my stomach. I have to have it cooked. I also eat those vegie sausages, vegie burgers, and VEAT; but I cook it.
