He quotes Marion Nestle, author of the marvelous book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/What-Eat-Marion-Nestle\/dp\/0865477388\/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1\/002-6416743-1456065?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1182953120&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_new\">&#8220;What to Eat,&#8221;<\/a> and calls her a &#8220;decidedly moderate voice in the nutrition wars, either a soy lobbyist or detractor.&#8221;<br \/>\n<em>&#8220;I think overall the research on soy is really uncompelling,&#8221; Nestle says. &#8220;What the data shows is that if there is harm from soy, it is very small; and if there are benefits, they are also very small. That means the data revolves around zero. And the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/bbs\/topics\/ANSWERS\/ANS00980.html\" target=\"_new\">FDA health claim was on soy <\/a>&#8230;I think it was way out of line. Foods aren&#8217;t medicines!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;People don&#8217;t have to eat soy if they don&#8217;t want to!&#8221; Nestle says. &#8220;To figure you have to eat it for any reason makes no sense to me at all &#8212; nobody needs to eat this stuff to be healthy.&#8221; <\/em><br \/>\nRead the whole article. To my mind, more research and clarity is needed on the value of infant soy formula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/sfgate.com\/cgi-bin\/article.cgi?f=\/c\/a\/2006\/08\/13\/CMGJKK1BP31.DTL Some of you may have been alarmed by what Sally Fallon said about &quot;the dark side&quot; of soy, once considered a miracle food, now becoming a virtual mainstay in even the non-vegetarian&#039;s diet.
