Hi Tish;
    The only soy that anyone should take is the fermented kind such as tofu.Plain old soy is not good at all despite all the hype coming from the marketers.For an easy explanation go to http://www.mercola.com  and use the search for “soy” I don't agree with a lot of what this doctor says but at least he gives a good explanation for this.

Tish, thought you might like to read this Women-to-Women article in their latest newsletter on soy. Interesting  info relating to thyroid and soy, as well.

I have an allergy to soy proteins and must avoid it.  It is astounding to realize how many products include soy.  We are consuming a ton of it every day and probably should never supplement even more.
