Food manufacturers sneak isolated soy protein into all kinds of things. Eating too much isolated soy protein, even when it’s only eaten in food it’s been added to, can cause endometrial hyperplasia in some women. This is the voice of experience speaking. I had added meat substitutes to a mostly whole foods diet to help my sweetie give up meat. I already was consuming 2 to 3 cups of soymilk a day. After a few years the doctor found I was at stage two of the disease and was pushing for surgery (at stage three I would have cooperated). I gave up soy altogether and in 4 or 5 months was disease free. I hope in a few years to be able to add whole soy back to my diet... in moderation.
