does all that anti-soy stuff also apply to basic beancurd?? Not that I eat it in huge quantities, just wondering really. And trying to figure out why more Chinese and Japanese don't *appear* to have the problems mentioned since they surely eat more soy than the average American. Or rather have been eating more soy for hundreds of years than the average American - maybe that's changed in the last 20yrs! So is it only the highly processed soy extracts, or does it apply to any soy products. Should I continue to buy the occasional litre of soya milk for my husband?? All it lists in the ingredients is soya beans and water (and cane sugar since he hates it unsweetened), but our regulations here aren't anywhere near as stringent as in North America and Europe.

mostly interested from an educational point of view. As long as I eat only in moderation I doubt whether it will be my food which kills me (unless I get a fishbone stuck!).

Kerri.
