Personally I thought a at least had a new take on the subject and

once it was brought to my attention - a very original one. Since there's

absolutely no obvious connection, (esp since the Okinawans eat soy and have

LESS dementia) it's a point IMHO worth making.

But I would suggest that we are starting to repeat ourselves. Unless

there's anything new to say about this, let's not beat a dead horse. Our

own personal intake or non-intake of soy is irrelevant. The only issue is

any new info pro or con. So why don't we move on until someone has somethin

new to shed light on the issue?

I would bet that the dairy industry is at the root of this study, as it

seems to be for most anti-soy research. To be fair, the soy industry

has also printed a lot of bad things about milk.

I personally eat/drink very little soy OR dairy, and won't while the

jury is still out concerning the safety of both products.
