Does anyone know about the negative effects of eating Soy products?

Question

Such as soy milk and veggie burgers? I heard soy can cause thyroid problems, infertility in men, and other problems.

Answer 1

soy is good for you but dont over do it

Answer 2

Like everything else soy in moderation is not going to kill us any sooner than a myriad of other things.  I went to the link that another provided and I think that, just like so many pro vege sites, you have to look at who is behind it and what is their agenda.  It is so simple to create a site with all sorts of "facts" pro or con and some will swear them to be gospel.

Answer 3

I googled your question and I got this website. I think this will really help you

I don't like to copy and paste long answers, I think it's rude.

But it's an informative site!!

Answer 4

Too much of ANY kind of food will have negative effects on your body, but soy has been proven to be the healthiest food for you on the planet.  

Answer 5

really now?  since when?

so far after 30 years i haven't suffered these so called facts.

Answer 6

I believe the negative health effects of soy are overstated and hyped by those who have an anti-vegetarian agenda.

There are far more serious and common health problems associated with eating meat.

Answer 8

there's no problem with you eating soy, just don't over do it.

2-3 servings daily is plenty, too much soy can:

Recently, a few studies appeared showing potentially negative effects of consuming too much soy. One particularly troublesome study done in Hawaii suggested that men with higher tofu intake had more cognitive decline and brain atrophy with aging than men who ate little tofu.1 This data contradicts evidence that Japanese men, who consume tofu regularly, have better cognitive function and lower rates of Alzheimer's disease than American men.2 Obviously, more studies are needed to clarify these suggestive findings and to determine if there is something in tofu or related to tofu consumption that may be harmful. After reviewing these findings, Dr. Harris had soy products from Hawaii tested for aluminum levels and found a significantly higher level of aluminum in tofu from Hawaii than in tofu from the mainland. The aluminum factor may be a plausible explanation for the alleged "brain aging" properties of soy.
