You guys are really doing it. You...Congratulations! You guys are really doing it. You are both such an inspiration. I don't think you need to worry too much about the soy thing. I say that with a little bit of a caveat - anything done to extreme can be bad, so I would opt for some semblance of moderation. Having said that, you should be able to find articles about soy on PCRM. You can also check out the two articles on my site - the interviews with Neal Barnard and Mark Messina. The one with Mark speaks more to the whole soy issue than the other. Yes, there has been a lot of mis-information about soy. People cite studies but check a couple of things. One - most if not all the studies that take a negative view of soy were done in the 50's - 70's. They are old science. Newer techniques, better study methods and basically "newer science" have all come about since then - and they seem to contradict the negatives previously thought to be inherent to soy products. <br /><br />The second thing I would say is that many of those studies done years ago were funded by the meat industry, which obviously has a vested interest in not promoting meat alternatives.<br /><br />Anyway, peruse PCRM and the interviews on our site and hopefully that will put your mind at ease with regard to this question anyway.<br /><br />Again, kudos to you both for your terrific accomplishment!<br /><br />RichRichhttp://www.not-just-recipes.comnoreply@blogger.com
