Answers:
Some studies show soy causes tumors to grow faster, but there are also studies that show soy prevents cancer. My take.? It all depends on who funds the survey.

As for your other question, I've never heard any actual evidence to support this. I've heard that it contains a chemecial similar to oestrogen, which promotes oestrogen production and soothes the symptoms of menopause in women; some researchers believe this to be a concern for men, that it negatively affects sperm count. But realistically, you'd have to eat an impossible amount everyday for it to pose any kind of threat.

The only reason I can think of for people to blame soy is because it's not "manly" to be vegetarian, and many vegetarians substitute soy-derived protein sources for meats.Health Question & Answer

Soy is definitely good for you . As far as I know ,no reputable science has linked it to cancer. As far as being gay, that is totally wrong, gayness is not caused by any food or drink. Most if not all gay ppl are born that way. It is possible that massive amounts of soy will lessen testosterone levels,but that won't make you gay. It may reduce your sex drive,but I am talking about amounts that would be impossible to consume.
THe whole thing about soy being bad, was promoted by scam artists who were selling bogus health advice books. Some of that is unfortunately still around. These were the same guys who were saying that cholesterol and fast food were good for you .They basically were taking the general medical knowledge and saying the opposite in order to sell books.Health Question & Answer

No, too much of anything can be bad for you and it is really amount that matters. Did you know in Korea, there is a dish that's made from ferns.? Well the fact of the matter is, ferns contain a lot of arsenic and if you eat enough of it you will die. So you don't want to eat this dish everyday but only in moderation.Health Question & Answer
