SOY---PRO & CON -- WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON

AND WHAT DID YOU BASE YOUR CONCLUSION ---- OR ARE YOU STILL IN THE OPINION STAGE???
I can't make up my mind???
I recently read a 12-29-09 article and wonder if it did the same to other readers.

The headline was: Soy-heavy menue at prison spurs lawsuit. Here are some of the excerpts from the article:

1. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF INMATES IN ILLINOIS PRISONS ARE BEING FED #UP TO 100 GRAMS OF SOY PROTEIN A DAY, ACCORDING TO THE WESTON A PRICE FOUNDATON, FUNDERS OF THE LAW SUIT. 25 GRAMS A DAY ARE RECOMMENDED B THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION.
2. The plaintiffs are "suffering irreparable, actual harm by being forced to eat food that has too much soy in it."

Nancy Chapman,executive director of the Soyfoods Association said she doubts prisoners are concuming as much soy as the foundation alleges.

Who is correct...the Weston Price Foundation or the director of the Soyfoods Assn.?

How is the public to make the correct decision and with whom?

As a 90 year old, I can't help wondering how our children will handle this type of
confusing situation where good health will be the difference between the future generations of our country ... and probably the world, as information -- correct and incorrect -- is so easily obtainable and knowing whom to trust becomes more and more
difficult as less and less important information becomes more and more difficult to know where to get it.
