That's just what it does to me. I don't know if other women have the same horrible side effects that I do. |
the bloating is definitely a common complaint of soy users.
all the conflicting information on whether the phytoesterols (plant estrogen-like compounds) are good/bad/neutral is why I've never gotten on the soy bandwagon.
two research papers will come out the same week, one saying soy lowers risk of prostate cancer (or cervical cancer, depending on the week) while the other says it'll up your risk of cancer, or give men breasts, or make women grow hair in all the wrong places.
plus they can may soy into bio-diesel fuel....wtf would I want to eat THAT?!
