# 84 Soy's Bumpy Road

Soy's Bumpy Road.
In the Chicago Tribune , in what they call the "Q" section, Sunday, December 17, 2006, were two very interesting articles about soy in our diets. In the Q. Section, pages 1, 7, and 9 are the items I referr to.The article was written by Julie Deardorff, Tribune
health and fitness reporter.
I quote one paragraph from page 1
"but is soy a miracle worker that protects us from cancer, heart disease, bone loss and hot flashes? Or is it an overrated and menacing little legume that affects the thyroid and raises certain cancer risk and is found in nearly every processed food?"
The second article, on page 7, is
"How Soy Works In The Body".
It was refreshing to read this article by someone that did their homework.
Soy does have great potential, but at this stage of use, too many variables currently exist.
