What's the Problem with Soy?
Combining the info in Jenny's post and what you wrote I guess you should be
worried if your period get heavier or if you get spotting. What you said is about frequency - this I know not what to say. Phytoestrogens appear in all sorts of food anyway, not just soy. The 5 year experiment didn't say how much phytoestrogens they were feeding the women. They didn't say whether the 4% is significant and at what level of significance plus the sample is quite small (fewer than 300 people completed the test). Sometimes I really don't know whether I can find anything to do to improve my health after reading reports like that. Reading your post sparked my interest again on what the pros and cons of eating soy products, esp in the form of isolate. So I looked around a bit and so far I have found nothing that provide quantified details. For example I don't know how much phytoestrogens is carried in 100g of raw dried soya beans. The reports that are against eating soy say nothing about the quantity of soy that one must consumes to get into troubles. I apologise for not of very much use in here. Bev-Ann wrote: I'm the OP and at the time I posted the question I didn't know what different types of soy products there are available. I was asking because I have started eating black soy beans 3 to 5 times a week and use a combination of soy protein isolate and soy flour as a replacement for wheat flour in baking. I do eat the Atkins cold cereals on the weekends, but those are the only frankenfoods I buy containing soy. I don't eat tofu or use soy sauce. It's been 4 and a half months since I started LC and using soy in these forms. My periods have become more frequent (every 3 weeks) but my doctor says that can happen on any diet where you lose weight quickly and the addition of the small amount of soy such as I'm consuming is likely coincidental. He said my periods should regulate themselves again in another month or 2. |
