We're finding out some alarming information about the dangers
of soy. Here are some of the best links to start your own research. Using
your own intelligence and discernment, you may come to the conclusion that you
don't want to be on the soy bandwagon, particularly if you have thyroid disease,
estrogen-related cancer history, infertility issues, or are feeding your baby
soy infant formula. For women in menopause, the choice is less clear. Check
back for more articles, but start your own research now with these links:

Soy Online Service
- A very comprehensive site out of New Zealand, full of related links and downloadable
research papers and abstracts. (NOTE: The website is set up in "frames"
so if you want to print anything from this site, click "print preview"
in your browser, then at the top, select "all frames individually",
then click print from that screen.)
Abstracts
of Research on Soy Protein (from Life Extension Foundation). Use discernment
in reading these abstracts. You will find them cited in both pro & con discussions
about soy's benefits or dangers. What may be good for one health issue may not
be good at all for another. For example, the research on premenopausal women
gives conclusions about breast-cancer risk while completely ignoring the implications
for infertility.
Soya
'link' to male infertility. Researchers at Queen's University, Belfast,
investigated soya in the diet and found it affects sperm quality. The issue
is for not just men but also for boys exposed from an early age to the estrogen
in soy products.
