This is the second post of my soy series. This post will discuss how Chinese families eat soy, soy isoflavones, and who should limit soy in their diet.

This is a two part series discussing the marketing of soy, the soy controversy (including the estrogen factor), how Chinese families generally eat soy, and who should probably not eat soy.
