[Age of Reason]

I always suspected soy was bad for people.

Then I learned about Omega 3 fatty acids deficiency in Western diets, and how Western diets have way too much Omega 6, which crowds out the little Omega 3’s we still get.

Soy has way too much Omega 6, which we get way too much of as it is, based on the info in the above link.

Explains a lot—it’s not cholesterol, but too much Omega 6 and too little Omega 3 in our diet that is killing us.

Exactly. Some oils promoted as "healthy" - such as canola oil and some other "substitute" vegetable oils (not olive) - have too high a ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3, and should be avoided. Fish oil, natural or in supplements, is generally high in Omega 3 and Vitamin D3.
