is already being attacked by a poster on the iodine forum claiming "follow da money re: pharmaceutical companies support soy!!!!".

How stupid does this person think people are?  This person found ONE site reporting the study, the American Association for Cancer Research.  Since this one association is only REPORTING the study, but is backed by pharmaceutical companies they are claiming soy is backed by the pharmaceutical industry.  Then to make things even worse they also imply that the Natural Products Marketplace is also in bed with the pharmaceutical companies since they also reported on this study.  How ridiculous is this?!!!  So now anyone who reports on any study that is reported by anyone else linked to a pharmaceutical company means that they are all in bed with the pharmaceutical companies.  Give me a break!!!

Again this study was only reported during a symposium conducted by the American Association for Cancer Research.  The study WAS NOT conducted by them.  Here is a link to an abstract of the study that was conducted in China, not in the US.

Using the same ridiculous reasoning we can conclude that the pharmaceutical companies support iodine!!!!  Just look, the American Cancer Society mentions low iodine can increase thyroid cancer:

And look, the ACS is one of the top ten non-profit health organizations that receives funding by pharmaceutical companies:

"The top ten health-based charities (as ranked by revenue) that accept money from pharmaceutical companies include the American Cancer Society; the American Heart Association;"
