There are also studies which link soy to reduced cancer risks. Alot of the studies seem to say it depends on what stage of life your in (child, adult, pregnent, menopause) what effect soy has on the body. People in studies also tend to have obscene amounts of the specific foods. Soy has been eaten for centuries in asian cultures and they don't have an abnormal rate of cancers that I've seen reported.

I limit soy to my children, but since I am lactose intolerent I go ahead and have my soy milk and cheese. They have found carcinagins in milk from the hormones and other chemicals given to cows. They are also on fruit, in meat, in eggs, and almost every other food. Almost any thing we put into our body you can find a study that says it is bad.
