Soy could actually be a good food. The problem is, there are SO many problems with it especially in the US, that it is almost best to just avoid it. Dr. Tori Hudson gives the good, bad and ugly on soy in her article "Soy Meets Girl" and Dr. Joseph Mercola gave some specifics in his article (see the link below) on soy products that we can benefit from and soy products that is best to stay far away from.
The way that we process soy in the US is what makes most soy products unnatural and unhealthy. It is, in fact, so bad that even our tofu tastes funny (or so said a friend of mine from Japan who ate tofu very often in her country but had to cook it in the US to avoid the bad taste). Now with the further insult of GMOs, soy became something that many of us choose to just avoid all together. Occasionally, I would enjoy a bowl of organic miso, but now even that is something that I would almost never eat.
It is so sad what we have done to food in the last hundred years but even more so in the last twenty to thirty years. Please read Dr. Mercola's article to get some info on soy foods that would benefit health.
