The research that I have done shows that Soya based product contain more Isoflavones than any other food item. It also contains more Phyto Eostrogens than any other food item, so must be taken in moderation.
The books I am reading reccomend no more than 12oz or 300g per day of Tofu for this reason.
I have done this for a few weeks now with no problems, eating Tofu 1x per day, then eggs and milk for my remaining meals. I eat meat no more than 4 times (meals) per week.
Soya is cheaper than meat, cleaner than meat, has less health consequences than meat, doesn't taste as good tho!
With the potential problems that Phyto-Eostrogens can cause, I think they are outweighed by the benefit of such a clean concentrated source of Isoflavones which is high in Protein.
Also....Soya protein was used for years by Bodybuilders before Whey came along!
