Soy in Real Life

When you go to the supermarket nowadays, you can usually find a soy substitute for just about anything: milk, cereal, bread, ice cream, even meat. What most people don't know is that some people use soy for reasons other than they are vegetarian. Soy has many benefits, like proteins that lower cholesterol and the risk of heart disease, and Isoflavones to reduce bone diseases such as osteoperosis and bone cancer. However, those same Isoflavones combined with the phyto-estrogens found in soy are harmful to people with some types of cancer such as breast cancer. But, the benefits definitely outweigh the risks.
