Book focuses way too much on the chemical and manufacturing process of the soybean for me. I did a learn a lot from the history of the soy bean - and more importantly the history of the marketing of the soy bean. The best parts of the book were the stories shared by soy-eaters. Well, ex-soy eaters. Then I skipped the rest to get to the ending ... which was tucked away at the end of a chapter. I was hoping for more. But since I did skip most of the chemical properties of soy, maybe I deserved a weak ending.

It's frustrating. Is anything healthy for us? We jump from drink more water, drink more bottled water, drink from hard plastic (Nalgene) bottles ... and now drink from metal bottles. Corn Oil, Vegetable Oil, Canola Oil, and now Olive Oil is the perfect oil. (I'm guessing Rapeseed, Grapeseed or Coconut will be next). There's that butter, margarine, and then back to butter cycle.

I'm going to make up my own diet. Who is with me and join me in the ice cream, chocolate and cheese diet?

This is a very, very interesting subject that I say read with caution. You will probably clean out your fridge and pantry after reading this. I could not put the book down and have taken all soy out of my diet as best I can or that I am aware of with lables. It is scary to think what is in our food and what is sold to us a "healthy".
I wish more people would read this book! ( )
