The question Vegans have thrown at them all the time. Is soy safe?

I've'd o keep telling people here for the last year or so that soymilk does NOT cause impotence. :|

Somehow ... soy does not seem such a big issue outside the media. I havent seen such attention given to soy by researchers and nutritionists as rendered by the media. Something fishy? Are the dairy boards (cow-breast-milk-drinking men) after the soy industry?

Anyhow, given the public's tendency to associate soy and tofu with veganism, I think it is good to have information on this subject. I know many people who have been dissuaded from replacing dairy with soy milk by an unwarranted fear of (soy leading to) impotence.

I've been wanting to start a thread on soy, where we collect our own research information on this issue.

The best article on this that I have come across so far is on the following link.

Jeff Novick also recommends no more than 60-70 ml (two ounces) of soy milk/tofu a day, and NO processed soy (like fake meats, chocolates etc) as far as possible.

If you've come across stuff on soy-related issues before/after, please share.

Thanks
