This has been known for years but the soybean industry in the US is worth mega bucks and they suppress a lot of info. They funded the studies on trans fats over 35 years ago but withdrew the funding when it started becoming apparent that trans fats are bad for you. A few dedicated scientits finished that research on limited funds and even working without pay, but the oilseed industry suppressed the results for 25 years.
If you want to get fat, use polyunsaturated oils. Ever noticed that butter takes up a fraction of the space that polyunsaturated margarines use in the supermarket? As we've cut out saturated fats the incidence of heart disease, obesity, cancer, and other serious health diseases has risen correspondingly.
I read an interesting article a few days ago that was a study that showed the effect on the brain and mood of people taking medications - they were less happy and more inclined to violent actions. I've said for quite a while now that everyone seems to be angry now, and this is probably why. Just read the forums and you'll see how negative and angry people are!
The only way soy should be eaten is when it's been fermented the way the Japanese and other Asians do it!!
