Re: What about Soy???

My Dr said it is ok in moderation. If I eat it I have it maybe once or twice a month. I have read some of the studies that have been posted here. They have specific guide lines as to how much per day you can consume. Since I don't take it daily I feel my consumption levels are below what they say is safe.
