Can you eat too much soy?
Although there is no definitive answer to this question, the answer is probably yes. Because there is a compound in soy that mimics estrogen, it is probably best not to eat endless amounts of soy. Soy can be a good alternative to animal protein because it is lower in fat, saturated fat and usually calories, but, that doesn’t mean you need to eat it all of the time. If you are going to eat soy, limit it to 1 - 2 products per day. If you are using soy milk, eating soy chips, edamame, protein bars and veggie burgers all in one day, you are probably consuming too much. And, recent research shows that soy actually does not improve cholesterol levels as previously thought.
