I agree about whole food soy like edamane (real soybeans). I tend to eat them more than other forms like tofu or soy milk. I eat miso soup when I catch cold, because it is so comforting. So many other foods have hiddlen soy. I try to stay away from that stuff as much as possible. Everything in moderation.
It never made sense to me when health care workers told Western women to stay away from all soy. Asian women eat alot of soy and they generally have less breast cancer than Western women have. Only a small percentage of breast cancers are related to family history, so there must be other dietary or environmental factors involved other than soy.
