Phooey; I think soy is great. I buy the large tin of
spirutena and in our blender put: one scoop, one frozen banana, some frozen strawberries, 8oz of milk and sometimes some yogurt w/acidophilus. It's great but only makes you feel full for a couple hrs. I read wonderful things about spirulina over the internet; very interesting reading. Never have read one negative thing about it but have read some anti soy stuff which I dismiss as people who must think the Chinese are bad off eating soy, which is untrue to say the least. Only time the Chinese find their health ruined is when they move here and start eating burgers and fries. binkie
