Soy makes you sick?

I've been subscribed to veggie123.com's e-mail newsletter for a little while. This morning I get this in the mail:

I'm sorry, but none of those links are from credible sources. The only scientifically validated claim I have read against soy is that it contains a chemical that inhibits the enzyme responsible for synthesizing two hormones secreted by the thyroid, and can therefore be partially responsible for hypothyroidism.

Are you kidding? Rense.com is totally a credible source. Where else can you get such thorough and unbiased information about mystery space machines, Morgellen's disease, how the Holocaust never happened, and links to informative articles like how Jews are taking over...the porn industry?

Oh, and don't forget the strange, mysterious eternal allure of Adolph Hitler.

Rense.com is completely incredible: they didn't even mention the space MONKEYS in that mystery space machines report!

Oh, you're right. I can't trust a website that'll mention the mystery space machines without even touching upon the mystery space monkey threat!

But we can still trust the other websites, right? like Shirley's Wellness Cafe and the informative articles she provides about the wonders of homeopathy, how vaccines will kill you and everyone you know, and how AIDS isn't really a thing. Despite the fact that my cousin died of AIDS. But I must've imagined that.

Oh god.....I just recently learned about the whole AIDS Dissent movement and it seriously kills me inside that people can be THAT stupid. Like, half of the people who STARTED the original organization have DIED FROM AIDS. Oh wait, AIDS doesn't exist...they must have died from "stress."

I'm totally skeptical of the AIDS dissent people too, but there have been people in credible organizations like ACT UP who are also AIDS revisionists or whatever.

Yeeeaah, don't know about that. When the World Health Organization starts revisioning AIDS that's when I'll start paying attention. ;)
