Soy has been getting a bad rap lately, but research has come to the rescue.
I came across this link today and thought it might be of interest to some readers:

There certainly has been a lot of media talk lately about soy becoming part of more peoples' diets. One of the most commonly cited sources for this misinformation comes from some sort of "testosterone-boosting" diet plan. I'm guessing the authors of this plan :
a) either don't think it's manly to replace some meat in the diet (is living a longer life and having a healthy prostate un-manly?)
or
b) are being funded by some meat producers.
Conspiracy theories aside, soy can be a very healthy addition to a vegetarian diet. Just like anything, however, don't overdo it - variety is the spice of life!
