I've heard both good and bad things about soy. I don't know what to make of it. I usually consume quitr a bit of it, through tofu, soy milk, and breads. Does anyone know if soy is a good or a bad thing?
personally, i had good skin and when i was working in a health food store, i started to break out on my chin and did eveyrthing to fix it. then i stopped eating soy, and i was having soy shakes, tofu and protien bars all the time...when i stopped, my skin cleared up OVERNIGHT!!! now, when i eat it, i'll get a zit. that shows me it isn't too good for me.
From what I've read, research shows that women who consume larger quantities of soy throughout their lives have a lower risk of breast cancer (such as many women in asian countries) but it raises the risk of breast cancer in those who have already experienced it.
