Re: eating soy...
I had read this early on in pregnancy that soy was not good for a few different reasons which I honestly don't remember now. So I have been watching my soy intake the whole pregnancy and avoiding it to a large extent. That said however, my dr. never mentioned staying away from soy so i guess it can't be that bad!

Re: eating soy...
I believe that the studies done on the effects of soy used a CRAZY amount of soy. Basically, that amount of pretty much anything would possibly cause problems. So, I'd ask your doctor, but I wouldn't worry too much.

Re: eating soy...
Ive never heard of this at all..Im not a vegetarian BUT Ive been concerned with my protein intake b/c I just cant stomach meat right now..my doctor told me to try soy products...
As far as studies are concerned it always makes me think of that red dye #2 that was outlawed b/c it was found to cause cancer in laboratory animals..If you read the study the animals that developed cancer ATE the equivilant of us eating like 2 tubes of red lipstick every day for 10 years..

I read that too, but the volumes were crazy high, multiple servings a day every day...
