Dear All:
Another angle on soy is the isoflavones that have recently been
discovered in soy and other products. <bold>Isoflanoves</bold> are
<italic>phytoestrogenes,</italic> with cancer preventative and estrogene
balancing properties. I have quit a bit of info on soy on my website
at:
http://www.walford.com/soy.htm
http://www.walford.com/soyfood.htm
http://www.walford.com/soydata.htm
The type of soy you ingest is important, as is mentioned in r's post
below. I prefer soy milk, a cup day is enough to get the beneficial
genistein. The table on soydata.htm tells you more.
Interesting stuff. While non-fat milk seems to be a more
nutrient-dense food, I omitted dairy many years back, and have found soy
a wonderfull replacement. Different brands of soy milk have very
different tastes, so if you try one and have mixed feelings, try
another.
