"The University of Colorado's Dr. Leinwand said she stumbled on the chow issue when an employee switched a particular breed of mice from a soy-based diet to a milk protein-based diet in preparation for an experiment.

Suddenly, she said, it seemed like there was nothing left to study. The male mice, which ordinarily developed heart disease, were much healthier on the milk protein-based chow. Further studies implicated the soy hormones as part of the reason."

Does that mean all these heart-healthy ads for soy milk have to be taken with a grain of salt?

I think the only thing this means is that Dr. Leinwand will be applying for grant money from the NIH to study her findings further.
