Soy is not a magical food, as it is deemed to be. It never was one. But nonetheless, it’s also not as bad as many stark opponents of soy claim it to be. The major support and in most cases overhyped claims about soy and its health benefits, come from the West, where the soy industry is among the biggest and the most profitable in the world.
What I found in my research about soy was a confusion between anecdotal evidences and hardcore research. A mix of stories and facts, with a lot of biased & industry influenced research. The real challenge was to unearth the facts, from an independent stand point. Though its human to get influenced, and I may surely have been at certain places, but my endeavour has been to be true to the facts. This Book will reveal the true and unbiased researched facts about soy and the controversies related to it…
