While it can be healthy, soy contains thyroid inhibitors which are not good for hypothyroid individuals. In addition, in large amounts it is not always so healthy for men, as it can cause the body to produce excess estrogen (this is unhealthy, especially for men.)

Finally, a very large percentage of non-fermented soy products (soy milks, tofu, soy meats, etc.) are made with soy-protein isolate, which is extracted from soybeans using an explosive neuro-toxin known as “Hexane”. So do a little research before you pick a brand.

Although soy can be quite healthy, I’d just like to post this to let people know what they’re eating before they eat it. =)

To clarify: Japanese soy sauce (shoyu) types are different from Chinese – generally lighter – and Japanese tofu is different from Chinese tofu in taste and texture – again, lighter. (Western people who find Chinese tofu too strong-tasting often enjoy Japanese tofu; the delicate “silken” kind is delicious eaten as is, fresh and cold, with a simple garnish of grated ginger and a drop of soy sauce, and is a popular dish in summer). Both soy sauce and tofu doubtless originated in China, but Chinese and Japanese cuisines are very different, and Japanese versions of both are accordingly made and used quite differently. Natural soy bean foods (edamame, tofu, soy sauce, miso, natto etc.) as used in the Japanese diet, as well as traditional Chinese foods derived from soybeans, are extremely healthy; problems in the US arise from the fact that soy is a hidden ingredient in many highly processed foods, so soy is unwittingly over-consumed, along with a variety of chemical additives.

I’ve always heard that soy in Japan & China is fermented which is good. In U.S. it is not fermented which is why we get the problems from it like breast cancer, thyroid problems, and infertility.

You will soon find that soy is a major contributer to breast cancer and it is not the health food it is promoted to be very similar to the milk conspiracy. Keep your breasts, stay away from commercial milk and soy. Eat fruits and vegetables and keep your health.
