Well, some scientists and nutritionists say soy can cause cancer!. I think that is ridiculous!. Would it be a vegeterian/vegan or a person that eats fast food every day that gets cancer!? You be the judge!. Soy products contain a chemical similar to estrogen, the female hormone, so it's not the most healthful thing to consume!. It can cause weight gain in females and males, but unless your drinking two cartons of soy milk a day I don't think anything bad will happen!. If you are concerned about it then there are plenty of alternatives to soy milk such as rice milk, almond milk, oat milk, etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Here are a couple of facts for you:
Myth: Soy estrogens (isoflavones) are good for you!.
Truth: Soy isoflavones are phyto-endocrine disrupters!. At dietary levels, they can prevent ovulation and stimulate the growth of cancer cells!. Eating as little as 30 grams (about 4 tablespoons) of soy per day can result in hypothyroidism with symptoms of lethargy, constipation, weight gain and fatigue!.
Myth: Soy foods are safe and beneficial for women to use in their postmenopausal years!.
Truth: Soy foods can stimulate the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors and cause thyroid problems!. Low thyroid function is associated with difficulties in menopause!.
Consumption of unfermented soy products is probably not such a good idea!. Unfermented soy contains high levels of a number of compounds that can: block the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc; stunt growth; and alter hormone levels, disrupting menstruation, lowering testosterone, increasing the risk of breast cancer, and causing thyroid and prostate complications!. Unfermented soy includes things like soy milk, soy burgers, soy hot dogs, and tofu!.
