Soy

What's your take on soy? I love the Zone perfect bars. Soy is the protein used in these. I know there are some negative ideas about soy, but I'm not sure what I think about that.

    I think it's fine in moderation. The problems mentioned by others usually involve high levels of soy consumption. Too much of anything usually isn't good.
    If the bars have a high sugar content, i'd be more concerned about that.

    What the above post said.

    I live in Japan, and soy is in pretty much everything...
    While I do believe the worries about soy are founded, the fact that Japan has one of the healthiest, long-living populations in the world (least obese as well), I'm inclined to think it's alright for normal consumption. Although Japan does have high rates of breast cancer, and that's one of the things soy gets blamed for.
    I'm split on it as well....
