Is soy okay in moderation?!


Question: Is soy okay in moderation!?
It seems like the only meat alternatives available contain some form of unfermented soy!. I have read up on Soy protein isolate, and there are some strong cases against its use!. I am really confused as to whether I should avoid soy altogether or just use it in moderation (say 1 serving per day)!. Any help is appreciated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Well, eat the less processed soy--such as tofu, tempeh, miso, and soy milks--and avoid or limit the soy protein isolate!. When you buy soy milk, get the unsweetened varieties if you're using it for baking!. And get organic whenever possible as a lot of conventional soy is genetically modified, and you want to avoid GMOs!.

The cases against its use are brought up by anti-vegetarian, pro-meat, pro-dairy organizations!. Now, if you're worried about the hormones in soy, you should know that most cows' milk contains far more powerful hormones than the relatively weak phytoestrogens in soy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I use soy at least once daily and everything seems fine with me!.
If you are that concerned speak to your doctor!.
Most foods are fine in moderation unless you personally have a sensitivity to them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
