I would avoid soy, especially as a woman

Why? Is there a reason? I was under the impression that soy was good for us.

I've also read bad stuff about soy for women and children. Too much is a bad thing for our reproductive system I beleive. I avoid soy whenever I can..

I'm no expert in the field, and since I don't have any problems I stick to whey, but I did find this:

I'm not going to pass judgement as I simply don't know. If whey is fine with you and you can handle it stick with whey.

The two things which most people agree on are, price of soy being too high, and the biological value of the protein not being as good as whey.

Other than that there is no one side / conclusive proof of soy being better than, worse than or the same as whey.
