No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

I thought Soy Milk was suppose to be a good thing to drink if you had prostate cancer or was at risk of it. But here's something I just read about cholesterol.
QUOTE ------------------------
Soy
Soybeans, soy nuts and edamame, plus any products made from soy (like tofu, soymilk, etc.) can help to reduce the production of new cholesterol. A little can go a long way-aim for about 25 grams of soy protein a day (the amount in a cup of edamame). And those who are at an increased risk of breast or prostate cancer may want to skip it since too much of soy’s phyto-estrogens can act similarly to the body’s own estrogen (which has been shown to feed some hormone-dependent tumors).
As soy phyto-estrogens are about 1000 times weaker than the human estrogen and block the same estrogen receptors it means that the cell`s intake of estrogen is so much lower.
Where is the problem ?
