When I first started low carbing I went out and stocked up on protein powders, etc., etc., plus loads of soy powder, because I thought soy powder was good for you. Since then I have noticed in several threads, dire warnings about soy, but havn't been able to get the bottom line. SO, if anyone can help explain all this and/or give me some uses for all this soy powder that I have, I would be eternally grateful

I have a niece whose entire diet is soy based. She is the most unhealthy looking girl her age (20) I believe I've ever seen. I did this Google search for her just a couple weeks ago. I'll admit I was surprised at the information I found! Especially since all 3 of my kids were raised on soy based infant formula! I'll just give the one site that had the most links on it. Good luck figuring it all out!

Thanks, I'll go & check out the site

Here is a link to the most balanced article about soy that I've seen.

Rose, that is an excellent article! Thanks so much for finding it. I just sent it off to my niece.

We've missed you...hope all is well?

Rose, I want to thank you also for the site on soy. I have been having a soy shake each day, which was not to be counted in my carbs for the day in the Curves diet I follow. I have colitis and hypothyroidism. I don't need any further trouble. I have been off the carbs for a week now due to illness and I am starting back today minus the soy. Have a nice day. Susan

Thankyou,
That is a really great link, I now feel at my age I can probably have a shake every other day or so and not do any harm However, it would be quite interesting to know the levels of soy isoflavins we are getting in our poultry, eggs and meat!
