Maybe this thread already discussed but i didn't find my answers, I read many articles about how soy can make you boobs or decrease sperm count and other related problems for men but still it's so skeptic and because i'm vegetarian, it's so important to me. Is there anyone who have experience about soy? |

I understand your point, soy has phytoestrogens so it helps women regulate hormone related issues, normal cycles and menopause problems. |

Yes, nycXX has it right. Soy is great for you, the bad aspects have been massively overstated. Obviously if you overdo anything, it will have bad effects. |

I would say: Avoid GMO soy products. If you are a man you can eat it, just eat it moderation and don't rely on it solely for protein. |

Xei, sorry if I am just posting the end results of some scientific research, this is a summary after all. I don't have the time to write a paper on all the research that has been conducted. This is a forum on lucid dreaming and not a medical society. |

There are hundreds of differences between Western and Asian people - genetics, to mention but one blindingly obvious and major thing. Saying that Asians having a lower cancer rate than Westerners is somehow evidence that... soy is good... is frankly bizarre. It doesn't have a semblance of statistical validity. |

Sure, while there is some statistical validity of widely published soy and cancer research, the finding in the case of Asians may not account for other factors, like drinking green tea or eating more veggies, or as you pointed genetics. I agree with you on that, it does sound a bit like a weak argument, if you phrase it the way it is in the quote. However, other studies have found a decreased occurrence of certain cancers after soy usage in both Asian and non-Asian subjects. |

NyxCC was just quoting the study he read, or the article on the study, anyway. |

The problem is that there are so many differences between societies, at least thousands. To just point out that "I guess there might be some cause-effect fallacy going on" isn't enough. There are so many differences that it's next to pointless to even propose that there may be a direct cause-effect relationship between any two qualities you may observe the society to have. |

Hi Dianeva, I don't want to be impolite by not replying to your post here, so I just want to say that I have completely exhausted myself on this topic. I agree with the things you say by the way. I think we may be kind of going in circles here, picking up on one sentence and not really giving useful advice to omidh who asked a specific question. So anyways, I think I will stop here, because there is really nothing more I can contribute to the subject. Take care! |

It's fine, yeah I was joining in on picking apart that one detail that shouldn't have mattered. Sorry about that. |
