There are so many people in my life that when I tell them I'm vegan they freak out and ask if I'm eating soy. "Oh, that shit will give you cancer." "Don't eat too much soy it will mess with your estrogen and give you ovary cancer" and so on.
I always thought that soy had been proven safe? Like it's plant estrogen, our bodies don't absorb it, right?
What do I say to these kinds of people? I like tofu :vegan-tofu:
Edit: Thanks for the info folks, you rule. :bean:
The incidence of ovary cancer in Australia is almost identical to the rates in China. If soy was so detrimental, you'd expect a massive rise in incidence in China considering the amount of soy in Chinese diets.
Just ask the people telling you that soy is dangerous to consider why there isn't a massive health crisis in all of East Asia.
