Should we worry about soya in our food?

Side question of articles like this, though - so, you can't eat soy, AND you can't eat meat, AND you can't... so what's left to eat? Everything kills, these days, it seems.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. That's a very unbalanced article, towards the scare-mongering side.

The same isoflavones that are claimed to cause thyroid problems are *also* claimed to help prevent cancer. Soybean oil contains far more omega 3 acid than most vegetable oil, so I don't see the point of scaring people with its omega 6 content, unless you want to remind people that it *is* an oil and still should be used sparingly. Soy hormonal impact is very limited per most research, and the research that says otherwise is controversial and as yet unproven.

Anything you consume, there's a scare group out there making noise about it. Fuck them.
