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.
