Basically, when it comes to whether or not you want to consume a little more soy in your diet, you'll need to consider the pros and cons.
A few pros can include:
* reduce high blood pressure
* prevent heart disease
* increase bone mineral density and prevent loss
* relieve PMS symptoms
* treat diabetic nerve problems
* reduce asthma
* improve memory
Although, these benefits may seem great, it's important to know the potential problems with consuming extra soy in the diet.
* interfere with growth of children
* cause the body to need more Vitamin D
* hinders B12 absorption
* increase the risk of kidneys stones
* increase abnormal tissue growth in uterus lining
And, of course you have soy related food allergies that can pose a whole other world of health concerns that a person with a soy allergy needs to consider.
