here's what a lot of people don't know about soy.........all those estrogens in them r one of the worst things ever to come to the produced food industry.........alot of companies make alot of money, giving something that's suppose to be "HEALTHY FOOD".........here's what i know.........excess estrogen unwinds the mylin around nerves........this can cause a whole host of health issues........ nerves help to control the intestinal walls, just to name one.........without enough progesterone to control the actions of too much estrogen, it runs amok..........also, what was interesting to me, was soy roots were used originally, not the beans..........the roots r much better for u.........but they can get alot more beans from one plant & only one set of roots per plant.....not as much money to b made..........beware of fads titled how good they r for u, u can b sure someone is making alot of money at the consuming public' expense......
