I was curious about the pros and cons of soy after hearing some odd things about it, and found this page by two scientists from the USA's Food & Drug Administration who were involved in testing soy products. According to them, it's really not good for you.

i use to eat alot of soy but when i stopped eating it, my stomach aches went away.
i haven't eaten it in 4 months and i've never felt better. i found out recently that it's one of the top food allergies.
thanks for posting that article.

Soy contains stuff that is simmilar to the hormone estrogen. This can help some people and mess up others. It also messes up the thyroid hormone. It is also an allergen and can cause bad gas (it's beans afterall!). I still eat soy products though, but I cut back a lot.
