: I currently use a soy meal replacement shakes once/twice a day for weight loss. Now is there a difference between the soy or the whey protein shakes for this purpose?

Soy protein is extracted from soybeans, Whey protein is extracted from milk. In my opinion, whey is much better. I have concerns with eating soy products and try to avoid them. There are numerous studies that link soy products to all kinds of ailments. If I remember correctly Dr. Mercola's website has links to much info (none of it good) on soy. I think the site is mercola.com If that is not it, just do a search for mercola. Alan S.
