@dpayton they do have organic non gmo unsweetened soy, however my oncologist nutritionist at Mayo says not to over consume soy products he didn’t say stop eating but keep moderate, he also said that about nut milk, and any milk it only should contain nut milk and maybe a little salt. What I do is rotate my milk, from soy to pistachios, I also cut in half like half one and the other, not every day either I’m moving to water on breakfast. Just my 2 cents

"Statistical data shows that Asian and Pacific Islander men have the lowest documented incidence and diagnosis rates of prostate cancer compared to other major racial and ethnic groups globally and in the United States. Data from the National Institutes of Health (.gov) and Stanford University indicate an average rate of roughly 59.3 per 100,000 men, which is significantly lower than rates seen in Caucasian, Hispanic, and Black populations."
The belief is that it is because of soy consumption (milk, tofu, soy sauce, etc).
Over-consumption of anything can cause problems, even consuming too much water. lol
So yeah, normal amount of dietary soy is OK - eating tons of it (or anything else ) is not . ; )
Soy contains high levels of phytoestrogens, which are plant compounds called isoflavones that structurally mimic human estrogen. Now that we have PATCH study showing that estrogen patch works as well as ADT for prostate cancer suppression , I do not see how any doctor can put soy in "questionable" category ???
