As I mentioned to someone else who was asking a similar question, I read in the Jean Carper nutition book that we don't know enough about concentrated or isolated soy compounds, and that there is at least one study that suggests that it might cause or promote cancer. I gathered that this also applied to soy powder. On the other hand, tofu, soy burgers, soy milk, would be o.k., but you could not expect any miracles when you depend only on soy products. You need something like fosamax, but again, all medicines have side effects. A nationally known specialist in osteoporosis told me that fosamax was safe.
