The following is what Shelley posted to me about soy.
"Please do NOT eat soy products except for fermented ones. Soy was never really meant to be eaten, it wasn't until the Chinese discovered how to ferment it and make Tamari and Tofu that it became a staple in Asian diets. Until then it was revered for being a nitrogen plant that restored nitrogen to soil lying fallow after many harvests. Soy is full of phytics and hormone factors that are beginning to cause birth defects and early-development in children followed by sterility. You can read more about it on the Weston Price website. The whole "soy is good for you" propaganda is just an ad campaign put out by farmers and commodities brokers."
