Opponents of soy milk as a healthy alternative claim that it contains "phytoestrogens" or chemicals found in plants. This chemical is believed to be the catalyst for the dangers of soy milk because they can affect the body in the same way that the female hormone estrogen does. This is said to negatively affect men who regularly consume soy causing problems with their thyroid and possibly even fertility. Studies also show the possibility of a rise in the risk for endometrial cancers when women consume high levels of phytoestrogens. Wait a minute! These phytoestrogens sound the same as isoflavones. Aren't the isoflavones said to be one of the benefits of soy milk?
Well here is the breakdown on it. Phytoestrogens are phytochemicals, or natural chemicals found in plants. Phytoestrogens, imparticular, exerts weak, estrogen like effects on the body. Isoflavones are a type or group of phytoestrogens which are thought to be positive. Again, this group of isoflavones is thought to aid in preventing cancer, Heart disease, osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms.
Scientists say that there are also drawbacks to the isoflavones which might be the source for negative reports. Of course there are first off some people who are allergic to soy.
There are also warnings for pregnant and nursing women as they are not sure of the long term affects of the soy isoflavones on babies.
Men with prostrate cancer should avoid soy products, as well as women with certain types of tumors. It is also important to note that soy has been associated with hypothyroidism in some.
Overall, I've decided to stick with using soy milk. From my research, I found that many of the negative reports or studies on soy milk were funded by dairy associations. I would hesitate however after reading reports to make soy a major part of my diet I believe that soy definitely has it's benefits, but as with anything else, it is best consumed in moderation.
