[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

Not 15 minutes ago I was making a big pot of chili, and I opened a can of soybeans, and when I tried to pour out the water, I found gelatinous fermenty gloop instead. It was revolting, and I wrapped the whole can in a plastic bag and then threw it out and then took the trash out immediately.

(I used pinto and kidney beans instead.)

Maybe this is why I don't get along with other vegetarians...

Nah, it's still the preachy self-righteousness.

the site just sells a protein powder. not really a big deal. and I've seen that soy is bad for testosterone claim MANY places, I just was reading this site for other reasons.

not the flatulence?

[sanpaku.livejournal.com]

Yes, eating a lot of processed food of any kind is bad. Of course, eating a lot of meat is bad too. For flatulence trade in any number of things about rotting meat in your intestines, etc. (I eat meat perhaps once or twice a month. It's a pain in the ass to deal with anyway.)

Maybe I've kept my hair from eating soy? (Testosterone = baldness.) We don't give much soy to the Jo.

However, if a dietary supplement Web site is the best source of information on this, I'm still kind of unconvinced.

OH YEAH! (http://www.wweek.com/story.php?story=2799)

These products have been subjected to very high heat, pressure, and chemicals. There's nothing "natural" about them.

Um, YEAH? It's called COOKING

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

You know how tofu is made? Well, me either, but I know how soy milk is made. It's a mechanical process to extract liquids from beans. And it stinks to high heaven. I wouldn't call it cooking, though.

what's important is not eating one particular food 24-7 .. or NOT eating one particular food. it's all about moderation.

soy isn't god, neither is it satan.

i can say that i have not experienced this supposed horrific flatulence issue.
which is unfortunate, since i would like to drop a smelly fart on the people writing this crap.

[infinite-hiatus.livejournal.com]

I couldn't even begin to quantify how much soy milk I drink every day.

I hear isoflavens are good for your hair, though. So I guess I'll at least have that when I start developing breasts.
