hi fellow veggies and veggies curios:)
I'd like to present a link for consideration and exploration:

I guess it's all about 'harmony'?
yeah, you hear one day that soy prevents breast cancer, the next that it causes it. that is why (1) i really don't take anything to heart that isn't an extremely non-biased peer-reviewed published work (2) don't enjoy learning about nutrition all that much anymore.
honestly, everything in moderation is probably your best bet.
At least they ADMIT that it isn't clear. "Studies are not in agreement..." I get so tired of the old buzzword, "Studies have shown," especially when they don't say which study, done where, for how long, with what cross section, or--most important--who paid for it. After all, the backer probably has an agenda that they want to put across, even if it's just pushing a particular drug/treatment/food.
