<<Hmm... doesn't say that [soy] foods/products are endorsed by Drs.
Michael
and/or Mary Dan Eades>>

I think that you're original point is well taken.  Selling soy-based
products is implicit endorsement and is inconsistent with, " even
pulverizing and cooking doesn't eliminate the anti-nutrients and
potentially
harmful substances contained in grains, legumes, and other plants or
render
them incapable of damaging the human intestine." (Protein Power
LifePlan,
p142-143).  Of course, soybeans are a legume.

Further, " those people who already suffer from one of these
autoimmune
disorders will respond best if they eliminate all avenues of
immune-system
stimulation that the lectins found in grains and beans can cause.  We
recommend they adhere - at least the majority of the time - to the
Purist's
version of the plan if they wish to maximally alleviate their symptoms
[the
Purist version of the plan call's for the complete avoidance of all
legumes,
including soybeans].  **But everyone on the Protein Power LifePlan
will
benefit from at least a reduction in these potentially harmful
foods.**"
(Protein Power LifePlan, p145-146).

So everybody on the Protein Power LifePlan is recommended to reduce
potentially harmful grains and legumes such as soybeans yet the Eades
sell
soy-based protein powders without similar warnings.  I'd say that this
was a
glaring inconsistency and undermines the Eades credibility.
