The Evidence Is In: You Should Be Eating More Soy

Soy foods such as tofu, tempeh, edamame, and soy milk have been everyday staples in much of Asia for centuries. But here in the U.S., soy often sparks confusion. You may have heard claims such as ‘soy will give you man boobs’ or ‘soy can increase your risk for breast cancer.’ These myths have persisted for years, causing some people to shy away from soy — even though plenty of research shows the opposite: soy foods are not only safe, they’re (really) good for you.
