Sharing some Knowledge: Too much soy is damaging

[Nathan101085]

yeah

I was just pointing out that many manufactuerers will add it into their soy protein isolate. I belive it increases the BV but I dont know if its significant or not. The only reason I would consider taking the isolate is because of the addect on thyroid output..of course a fatburner would do the job too but soy is certaintly cheaper than pills, still i doubt the effects are as pronounced.

Soy might be cheaper than pills, but to a high degree I would imagine any uncertainty with a product (especially soy) would be a considerable turn off - at least for most logical ppl it would be.

I read somewhere recently that children that consume a lot of soy do not grow as tall as children who do not.....makes sense if you think about the high soy consumption and the short stature found in Japan. That gets me thinking about GH release....no, I'm NOT a big fan of soy.

genetically asians and caucasians differ, if it makes any difference I consumed plenty of it throughout my youth... Today I stand at.. 6'4"

I grew up w/ two friends (brothers) that lived on the same block - their parents were those tree hogging hippies and only ate vegetable and soy. 10 years later the kids were 5'4 and 5'1, doesn't say much b/c it might just run in the family.
