Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | To all women and people with soy allergies

If you are pregnant, still nursing, or just trying to have a baby (possibility of unknown conception), do not eat or drink soy products (might as well drink caffeine).
Don't use soy milk as breast milk when you must work.
If you have allergies to soy products, take the very minimum amount of soy in your diet, to most people the minimum is 2 - 3 servings a day.

The affects of soy isoflavones (similar to female hormones) are still being studied (will increase breast size), but for now I would only take a little bit each day.

I'm still looking up if this pertains to adult males without allergies.
Watch this space for future developments (may or may not promote impotence).

Do Soy Foods Negatively Affect Your Thyroid?

I want to clarify something about the last part of my post ("may or may not promote impotence").
That is not a documented effect, but a theorized effect.
Soy isoflavones are similar to female hormones, and when those are taken, the two most prominent features are male breasts get larger and the person can't get erect anymore.
