I guess you haven't read the links I posted. The Price foundation is largely funded by dairy and meat farmers. Obvious what they would have to gain. :) Mercola I haven't looked into, but the idea that soy has to be fermented is simply in error. People are fallible, so I see nothing sinister in that. BTW probably three fourths of the nutrition advice I see is full of errors and misconceptions, but most of it isn't coming from any evil conspiracy (as far as I know, anyway).
A united "soy industry" per se doesn't really exist, though Monsanto and other large corporations who peddle GMOs (including soy-based GMOs) do have quite a stake in seeing *their* soy products incorporated into as many foods as possible. But don't throw out the baby with the bath water. There are high-powered special interests on both sides of the issue, and they do not have *our* best interests in mind. However, I am not affiliated with nor do I endorse any of them. Hence, my previous advice "Beware of GMOs masquerading as health food", "don't use soy (or anything else) as your sole source of protein", etc. -- indi On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 08:13:43PM +0100, Dorothy Fitzpatrick wrote: > I was wondering *why* the Price foundation would want to spread adverse > propaganda about soy.
