Soy Myths

Soy may be the most misunderstood food that’s common in a plant-based diet. It’s the target of numerous accusations and a common source of anxiety, largely because it contains phytoestrogens. Are there legitimate concerns? How much soy is too much?

I've been eating tofu, tempeh, edamame, soy and liquid aminos for over 25 yes. Tempeh, edamame and ainos just the last 10 yrs and have excellent health compared to friends and family members in my 60s!!

People need to use common sense... soy has been a staple in Asia for ages, and they used to be the slimmest, healthiest people.... until the western Standard American Diet , heavy in dairy, animal products, and processed foods, ruined them!

💯% truth. People are literally killing themselves eating industrialized food.
