I'm most confused by the statement "Soy may also block calcium absorption. That is also a major downside when you consider osteoporosis" I was under the assumption that the consumption of soybeans actually helps fight osteoporosis. My mother has osteoporosis and was told by her doctor to drink soymilk as a way to combat the disease. Other websites state the same, that soy products help with osteoporosis.
