    This video is actually an advertisement for some program he's selling. I don't believe for one second that tofu causes cancer. I love tofu! And soy everything!

    ^^^ Yah, I hate how Mercola.com is into selling everything now. Thing is, nothing said on the video is new info. You can get it for free other places. Just thought I'd spread some knowledge. It was explained simply and clearly.

    there are a lot of chemicals in tofu. it sucks that most veggie resturaunts don't use organic.

    crap, i just ate a sesame "chicken" vietnamese sandwich from the deli down the street.

    Soy alters the hormonal balance and decreases fertility. It's also been linked to memory loss.

    Fermented soy doesn't have these side effects though - so soy sauce is perfectly safe. And some tofu is fermented.

    You won't get sterile with althzheimers if you consume non-fermented soy in small amounts. But making it a dietary staple isn't the best idea.

    Wow, this whole soy thing scares me a bit. Just found this article:

    I'm switching to goats milk.
