1. Overall, the actual studies show soy to be very good for you
assuming you're not allergic. There are somewhere near 30,000 published papers on the topic of soy, and yes, several can be spun to make soy appear to be bad for you.

What also needs to be taken into consideration is how one is eating/preparing the soy. The more processed it is, probably the less beneficial it is.

That in mind, too much of anything isn't good.

Was there a particular point of the "soy is good/bad" methodology you were curious about? I know that the hot topics are the thyroid, estrogen and BCAA complex. Didn't know if it was a general question, or if there was a specific bone of contention you had heard/read.
