Just know that . . .
The info from the Weston Price Foundation is not uncontested when it comes to soy and other stuff. Price was a dentist in the first half of the 20th century who arrived at many of his notions about diet by studying the teeth of native peoples to extrapolate his theories about the health benefits and risks of various diets. And one of the heads of the Foundation now has also been a spokesperson and researcher for the beef industry. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it does raise the question of bias. I can find a variety of contradictory statistics about how much soy is really in the "Asian" diet, a problem compounded by the fact that "grams" may mean, grams of food, grams of protein, or grams of soy protein.
That said, I would agree with most of what they say about unprocessed foods, including soy foods, which can often be very highly processed. (The coconut oil fixation though . . .
) Weird soy-added foods fall under the same category of Frankenfoods as all the other unfortunate inventions.
You gotta make your own decisions about soy, but IMHO a lot of the Internet stuff on soy falls under Internet legend.
