Are there any new studies regarding soy consumption/thyroid problems?

Question

Google it and you'll be very surprised!! I've been eating this stuff for 10 years now lol.

Answer 1

Very interesting articles...

Here is another pro-soy article though, which sort of counters some of the studies...

It sounds like they are warning against the over consumption of soy / tofu, especially supplementation. I think soy products, used in moderation, are completely safe, though. Look at many Asian cultures... they've been eating it for years without an ill effects.

Thanks for the information though. I hadn't heard of it before.

Answer 2
