  1. Soy, good or bad? I get this all the time. Actually, your ROOTs may give you the microbiome necessary to metabolize this substrate beneficially; most Westerners LACK microbiota having the bacterial enzymes necessary to metabolize soy. "The health benefits of diets rich in soya, such as improvements in vasomotor symptoms, osteoporosis, prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease, have been attributed to (S)-equol produced from the soya isoflavone daidzein by BACTERIAL rather than HUMAN enzymes. Only 25-30% the adult population of Western countries produce (S)-equol with a diet of soya-rich foods, compared with 50-60% of adults from Japan, Korea or China. The cancer-protective effects of soya beans that have been described in Asian populations may therefore not be true of Western populations."
