However, the interviewee is obviously biased towards soy due to her soy allergy.

Personally, I don’t subscribe to the hype against soy. True, soy contains toxins and true, some people are allergic to soy (just as some people don’t have the vital enzyme lactase to breakdown lactose in milk).

I’ve been a vegan for 4 years and pretty much consume at least 10 ounces (if not more..) of soy milk (silk) every single day, along with soy-based cereal (Optimum Soy Power). And I feel great. Haven’t been sick in years (literally). Have plenty of energy (too much!). And never had an allergic reaction.

I think that if I drank 1 gallon of soy per day, then, yes, maybe that wouldn’t be wise. Just in the same way that it wouldn’t be wise to eat 1 pound of raw cacao in one day — your body wouldn’t be happy!

Everything in moderation. And, please, let your body be the final arbiter on whether or not soy is good for you — not a book, not a person, not a television show. Your body will tell you all that you need to know.

This was a great interview, because such information may lead to people finding out that soy may be causing their problems. My gut feeling, though, is that soy only negatively affects a small minority of people.

Soy is still my friend.
