My best friend recently found out that she is allergic to all things soy. Is anybody out there in the same boat?

No, but I was just reading in Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food that "The soybean...contains a whole assortment of "antinutrients"--compounds that actually block the body's absorption of vitamins and minerals, interfere with the hormonal system, and prevent the body from breaking down the proteins in the soy itself"

Apparently the only soy product that is health to eat is tofu.
