Soy and I get along. Grace have you ever read anything bad about soy protein and mental functioning or even looked if there was research against it? At my old college we had a chemistry professor who was also a body builder and he said soy was bad for your brain - I never pushed him further for details - partly because he also said he liked it when GHB was easy to get. Still he seemed like he kept up with things for his college job and bodybuilding.

news.google.com So, maybe soya is not such a hearty meal By KARA PHILLIPS 24jan06 "Lots of people choose soy milk because they self-diagnose lactose intolerance VEGGIE burgers and tofu might not be so great at warding off heart disease after all. An American Heart Association committee, after reviewing a decade of studies on the claimed benefits of soy, has cast doubt on the claim that soy-based foods and supplements significantly lower cholesterol. The panel also found neither soy nor the soy component isoflavone reduced symptoms of menopause, such as "hot flashes," and that isoflavones don't help prevent breast, uterine or prostate cancer. Results were mixed on whether soy prevented postmenopausal bone loss. Based on its findings, the committee said it would not recommend using isoflavone supplements in food or pills. Australian nutrition experts say soy-based foods still are good because they often are eaten instead of less healthy fare like burgers and hot dogs. South Australian nutritionist, Dr Anthea Magarey, of the Nutrition and Dietetics Department at Flinders University, said the study would be looked at by experts here. "Many people buy soy thinking they are helping to prevent things like high cholesterol, but this suggests that is not the case," she said. "Lots of people choose soy milk because they self-diagnose lactose intolerance and the only recommendation I'd make there is to choose one that's calcium fortified." Rhiannon McLay, of Kensington, loves her soy. "I'm not overly surprised by the findings on cholesterol, but I do believe in other health benefits of soy," she said. "I will still keep drinking my soy and eating a balanced diet." The Heart Association statement does note that soy products should be heart-healthy because they contain a lot of polyunsaturated fats, fibre, vitamins and minerals and are low in saturated fat.
