That is definitely not the truth about soy:

I don't eat soy. There are several reasons: I don't like it. I'm slightly intolerant. And when I did try eating it while going through menopause, it exacerbated all of my symptoms. So, I avoid it.
I'm not a huge fan of the WAPF, but Robbins, Barnard, Fuhrman and others are equally as guilty of using scare tactics and promoting faulty science. The China Study is a great example of faulty science!
There's a ton of dietary misinformation out there, and it's not all coming from WAPF.
The chickpea salad recipe looks tasty. I've been making something similar for 10+ years, only mine has red bell pepper, cucumber and scallions in it as well. I've taken it to numerous potlucks and there is almost never any left over.
As always, thanks for the linkage. :)
Very interesting article on soy...
And the expiration date discussions always make me laugh - I want to print them out and show them to Steve so he doesn't wrinkle his nose at me using the milk 4 or 5 days after the sell by date (it's FINE!).
Great article on soy. Thanks for the time writing this article.
