Remember that soy is in many products particularly in health food stores, so read the labels. Many animals that people eat are fed soy and grains that make these products unhealthy too. I often shop at our neighboring health food store and always read the labels before I purchase. You have to be diligent. Read the labels. Stay informed by doing research and making smart decisions. I strongly advise you to consider the health risk of soy and to investigate it further and make a forthcoming decision on your own. It is my responsibility to inform you about these matters so that you may choose. You can search for "soy's health risk" on Google or other search engines to find many studies on soy.
