Here is Jim Rutz's follow up to his "Soy is making kids gay" article of December 12, 2006. He's citing sources now, and answering common objections like "Why aren't the Chinese all gay?"

And here is a link to the full article:

The highest intake of soy in Japan is among monks, who eat it to turn off sexual desire.

Now, there's an idea for the school lunch program.

Yet another reason why I'll never eat tofu or drink soy milk.

Livestock don't seem to have any problem eating soy.

What? Soy makes sissies gay?

Soy Sucks!

Always be on your guard against propaganda - organizations like PeTA prey on your susceptibility. Nutritional science is constantly finding more and more flaws with soya, the so-called miracle food, and many of the scientific studies and reports that contradict these findings are actually funded by animal rights organizations. The Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine, a foundation that advocates a strict vegan diet and immediate abolition of all animal-based research, is a subsidiary of PeTA. The PCRM also campaigns violently against health charities such as the March of Dimes, the American Heart Association, and St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. 5 Ask yourself: do these people care genuinely about human health?

In recent years PeTA's president Ingrid Newkirk, a self-proclaimed "ardent animal lover", has put her foot in her mouth on multiple occasions. Newkirk believes the spread of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) to the United States would be "good for human health" because it would scare a large portion of the population into becoming vegetarian - however, FMD is not spread through food and only effects hoofed animals. 6 Newkirk openly supports a policy that calls for the immediate euthanasia of any pit bull terrier or pit bull mix at animal shelters. She claims that because the American Pit Bull Terrier has a history of being mistreated, the best thing for the breed's future would be its extinction. 7 Further, PeTA kills over 1,000 cats and dogs a year, animals which it "rescues" from the streets. They are not held in shelters for any length of time, because PeTA does not operate any shelters. Animals who are not placed or returned home immediately are killed. 8 Also, although PeTA avidly campaigns against pet ownership, many members own cats and dogs, which they further abuse by feeding them vegan food. Cats as obligate carnivores and if fed a vegan diet, their health declines rapidly, often resulting in death. Ask yourself: do these people care genuinely about animals?
Margarine, vegetable oil double risk of asthma: study

In the biggest ever Australian study of asthma risk factors among preschoolers, researchers found a high prevalence of the disease, at around one in five. More research was needed to understand the role of polyunsaturated fats in asthma, but a likely explanation is that the increased levels of omega-6 fatty acids they produce promotes inflammation, the underlying cause of the disease. Other studies have shown "the other side of the coin", that consumption of omega-3 fatty acids such as found in oily fish, is associated with reduced asthma risk. The study, published on Thursday in the international journal Thorax, also shows that having a parent with a history of asthma doubles the risk for a child.
