FW: soy: to eat or not to eat

[Guest guest]

Dave: some CRONIES don't eat soy because of the one study of Hawaiian men

which supposedly presented evidence that regular consumption of soy in

midlife led to adverse brain aging. (BT120YD, pg 177). However I always

felt that the best " study " was the Okinawans who consume soy and are healthy

til old age. Walford consumes it (but not to the extreme) and so do many

other CRONIES. The one study has not been repeated to the best of my

knowledge.

Dave,

For a very simple resaon, me and my wife really do not like the

taste.
