Soy Milk Is Unhealthy: "Still on the fence about the value of soy products, even after health claims have been hugely debunked?

Modern soy protein foods in no way resemble the traditional Asian soy foods, and may contain carcinogens like nitrates and lysinoalanine. Non-fermented soy products like tofu, soy milk and meatless foods made from textured vegetable protein also contain phytic acid, one of many anti-nutrients it's wise to avoid at all costs.

• Neither soy protein nor soy isoflavones are useful in limiting menopause-related symptoms.
• The jury remains out on any soy-related benefits in treating osteoporosis."
