As are many legumes. And one of the best immune stimulants and adaptogenics, called astragalus, is a vetch also used as a cover crop and nitrogen fixer. Does this make it bad? Of course not.

And people use to think that tomatoes were poisonous as well. Sometimes it takes time to get rid of old myths like soy is dangerous. Unfortunately people tend to focus on the negative and ignore the facts. As an example, look at all the propaganda also going around about Canola oil. This includes the misleading statement that Canola contains mustard oil used to make mustard gas. Actually mustard gas has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with mustard oil or any plants. It is a completely synthetic chlorine based poison. Instead of verifying this fact though people believe and keep passing on this misinformation because it is easier than investigating the truth and people prefer to believe something negative than the truth. Human nature.

You seem to be doing the same thing. And you have yet to show me evidence that soy has any adverse effects that are not present in a number of other "healthy" foods, or that soy has something dangerous not inactivated by processing.
