Well what they are saying seems to make sense but it must be so confusing for those who want/need to change their diet etc.

[Sonnie]

That was confusing.
So if you have not had cancer you can have as much soy products as you like?

[GINAinLA]

That is strange.. It is ok to eat if you havent had cancer, but not to if you had?

I eat lots of soy and I know it is very good for us, less soduim than eggs and so cholestoral..

And it is eaten in Asian cultures and they are very healthy.

I guess we will contiue to eat it for now.
