Most of the stuff on the net that disses soy originated with the vegan-hating, lard-eating wapf (weston a. price fdn.), which regularly floods the net with misinformation on selected topics. They place their articles on sites and in newsletters that have " natural " or " health " in the names, under many different names, but their " warnings " include lots of CAPITALIZATION (=shouting) and have an overall hysterical tone. A good rule of thumb is that if your source can be traced back to wapf, mercola, fallon, etc., it's probably wrong. A great resource for " fair and balanced " nutrition and health information is http://www.drmcdougall.com/ and a good discussion of soy is at http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2005nl/april/050400pusoy.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
