That's why I stick to dead animals to get my protien. Plus dead animals taste way better.

This article seems to speak to soy as a supplement. But what about as a subsitute? I think if you eat veggie burgers instead of beef burgers, you'll be taking in less cholesterol, bad fat, etc.

Hey, what about Soylent Green? It's soy based, right? After a nice snack of soylent green, I fell like I'm a real 'people person'. :-)

A friend recommended lecithin (from soy), many years ago, to lose weight. I lost water like crazy. It supposed to help keep the arteries clean, as I understand it.

It worked great in a dry climate (Bakersfield). When we moved to the Coast, my skin got too oily, so I quit taking it.

I've grown skeptical of any nutritional study.
I think a varied diet that is mainly composed of unprocessed fresh foods is a good idea.
The new book, "Superfoods Rx: 14 Foods That Will Change Your Life" will be a boon to many folks who seek a healthier diet.
And, healthy eating needn't be dull.
Throw 8 ounces of soy milk and a cup of frozen blue berries in a blender for a great smoothie.
And every now and then, it's good to kick back with a burger and a beer.

The soy people have told a lot of lies and used a lot of muscle to get their stuff into the marketplace.

There is an enormous group of doctors who are dead set against it.

Lots of people are deadly allergic to soy, too. Some don't know why they feel so terrible. If my grown daughter gets even a smidgen of soy flour in something she has to be taken to the emergency room.
