Soy is not every one's wonder food
by Animaltalker
While I'm lactose intolerant AND allergic to the protein in milk. I still drink it over soy milk. Why? Because my soy allergy is much worse. Soy gives me migraines, (A stuff nose or mild gastric upset is nothing compared to a killer migraine) and I'm not alone.

Soy, the new wonder bean (Eat it, drink, run your car on it) is being slipped into so many foods these days. more and more I can't find things to eat because they are filled with soy protein. reading food labels has become a necessary obsession.

Soy is one of the most common food allergies, especially among children, although it is becoming ore common among adults (Care to guess why? - most probably more exposure). HAving headaches or respiratory problems? maybe it's all the soy in your diet.

it's being put into everything because it's so heavily subsidized that it's cheaper to put processed versions of soy in our food than other ingredients. you'd have much less of a problem if we stopped paying people to grow the stuff.

In addition to allergies, a compound in soy is thought to lead to fertility problems in males and females, and possibly cancer! (along with others). Soy is definitely not a wonder food!
