Yeah, that's just the thing though. How to separate fact from fiction. WillRavel says soy is very dangerous for you. Yet billions of Asians have been eating it for thousands of years without consequence and their sperm count definitely does not seem to be affected. But since I do enjoy my tofu, soy milk (the real kind not the western kind), and soy beans to much on while drinking beer, I am reluctant to give it up. Unless it is true that I will grow boobs and lose the wee wee. I will just have to find a soy substitute. Like meat.
Almond milk is awesome too, but I like the neutral flavor of soy milk (like cow's milk).

Yeah, I grew up in Boston. Pretty much all Irish, Italian, and Jews. Most were lactose intolerant (which was not evident until we were adults). Geographically and demographically speaking, most lactose tolerant people are from the Nordic-Scandic regions. The rest of us are lactose intolerant; more so if you are from Africa, Asia, South America, Mediterranean Europe etc. It also matters if you are child or adult. Most children can tolerate lactose (which makes sense).

Snowy: so you're saying normal soy products (Asian) are ok but western soy products are not?
