Soy was a wonder food of the last decade. Many studies found that it had profound health effects like a reduction in menopausal symptoms for women, weight loss, lower cholesterol, and a reduction in osteoperopsis and certain types of cancers. The real benefit of soy comes from eating it in its natural form, usually beans or paste, as seen in many Japanese restaurants in miso soup or edamamde. As a nation, we may have overdone it on soy, eating it in all kinds of forms, including the fermented kind, isolates, concentrates, and flours. Anytime we over-process something it becomes less nutritions and more harful for the body. Soy is great in it's plant based natural form, but once it has a shelf-life that extends beyond a few weeks, it's best to consume in moderation.
