Well, if you rely on soy as your primary source of protein, you might want to invest in other options. There's protein in just about everything - seitan, tempeh, vegetables, beans, whole grains.

Maybe someone told you so because they want you to mix up your diet a little. If you eat those fake soy products day in and day out, you're missing out on a really great, well-balanced and colorful vegetarian or vegan diet.

Also, maybe they were referring to those fake soy products as soy, rather than soy as a whole. Processed stuff like BOCA burgers, MorningStar Farms, etc are good sparingly but they're full of chemical additives and are processed beyond belief. It's best to eat food that is as natural and simple as possible. Try to cook with tofu straight out of the tray or try tempeh - it's heavenly.

Unless you are consuming MASSIVE, and I mean tremendous amounts of non-organic soy, it's highly unlikely that you'll experience any adverse affects, assuming you're not allergic.

Oh please! As a vegan myself, I know that soy is the only source of protein I am getting, as a vegan you need to have as much soy as possible! and eat vegetables! Who ever told you that you are not supposed to eat soy 2 days in a row, THEY'RE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry I cannot tell you my source cause I cannot remember where I got this. But I read that there is some evidence that you can have an over dose of soy in the diet. Also, like beans there is something in soy that we cannot digest. Cooking and fermenting make this sugar( might be a protien in soy, in beans its a sugar, its what makes you fart.) more available for us, hence tofu and soy sauce are both fermented products. Anyway this evidence hasn't been widely accepted. And it might be something simple, like the whole potatoes are poisonous. Old potatoes that the skin is starting to turn green on, produce a chemical that is toxic, but only in very small doses. So only small children are ever effected. So I guess technically potatoes are poisonous. Silly.

Don't listen to that some 1 . Not all of his/her dogs are barking!

Yes I saw that in another answer and thought it was a load of bull. Entire continents of people eat soy on a daily basis and survive just fine.

soy is good for you i eat it everyday
