I've heard it specifically cited that too much soy in the diet can cause hypothyroidism! I backed off after hearing that medical discussion on talk radio. American Longevity sells an ostensibly complete protein supplement consisting of WHEY with "a little soy mixed in too round out the protein profile." I also spoke with a rep at the Life Extension Institute about their HGH precursor, which (like so many other such products) is just an amino mixture. When I asked about the soy powder I already had, he said it is deficient in glutithione (I think); so asked about WHEY, and he conceded (although losing a sale) that would suffice. I currently using a drink mix called Whey to Go and a lesser amt of Bragg Liquid Aminos (from soy).
BTW, non-genetically modified soy products are becoming very hard to find! --Russ On Tue, 21 Nov 2000 21:19:56 +1300 "Nick Grant" <[email protected]> writes: > Ivan and others > > I read a little of the site about soy.
