The evidence against soy

I find the nutritional side of training semi-interesting. I like eating healthy, and I can always tell by how my body feels if I spend too long eating 'crap'. I am a massive believer in exercise lots, eat (relatively) healthy and you'll do fine. Think high protein and complex carbs = me.

But then there are the 'specially good for you' food and drink items that you're meant to ingest. Superfoods, high anti-oxidants, metabolism boosters... etc etc. Some of these supposedly 'good' food and drink items taste terrible, but I get through that and can tell the difference. For example - I drink 6-8 large cups of green tea a day (not including decaf green tea in the evenings..), I hardly drink plain water due to the high consumption of tea. When I first started drinking green tea I hated it - but now I love it - and I can really tell the difference from when I used not to drink it.

However Soy milk is something I could never get into - according to this article, it may have been a good thing: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/10/07/the-evidence-against-soy.aspx.
