Geeking away happily today and notice two recent research release stories on the anti cancer benefits of soy.

i get a lot of it, myself..... the "soy=evil"

i will certainly say that like any thingm you can over do it! and of course the "new and improved monsanto brand genetically engineered soy like product" isnt what i call soy

I'm gay, so I keep wondering if straight guys who I tell the whole soy isn't evil story, are discounting it because of that. Fortunately there's other ways to convince men that veganism is a good idea:

thank you so much for posting this. I work with a lady that, while being completely fine with me being vegan (she's even tried a vegan burger since she met me, and soy yogurt), does like to read all those studies saying that soy makes men grow boobs and gives you cancer and all that jazz. So it'll be nice to be able to give her even more studies showing how good it is, when it's in a more natural state (not all those way to over-processed stuff).

thanks!

You're welcome. I was hoping it would help someone out. :)
