I’m quite a big fan of soy milk and soy products like beancurd. Recently, I have also included the Silk Chocolate Soy Milk into my regular shopping list.

Then Cocoa alerted me to this surprising report on soy, saying soy may not be beneficial to human health after all, when all along I thought soy is such a great health food. In a nutshell, the report says that soy contains a number of substances which resemble the female hormones. Eating more soy may lead to “half helping of men”, “little girls starting to masturbate at an age as early as 18 months” and “men getting older faster with each serving of tofu”.

It feels like one of those many food products where you have reports saying they are both good and bad, and you don’t know which side to believe. I guess anything in excess is just harmful.

Read the whole report here.

All of a sudden, being a vegetarian becomes not the least bit appealing any more. Good for baobei since she always hated soy stuff!
