A lot of cultures have a grain-based diet, the asians have their rice, the indians their wheat with which they make chapitis, south of the border they have corn. I think the main point is not to obsess over one nutrient pulled out of food, if a nutrient by itself has adverse effects in a laboratory, it probably makes sense, because it's not the whole food, much the same way that substances can be pulled out of a plant and made into drugs that have side effects. It makes sense that the best diet is just the most natural one, lots of vegetables, fruit, moderate grains in variety, and some beans and legumes which can include soybeans in their less processed forms -- i.e. not soy isolate. That's pretty much how I try to eat, I also do my best to avoid overly processed junk foods like crackers and chips. I used to eat a fair amount of meat subs, but I find as I go forward that I use them less and less, I use a meat sub such as gardenburger sausage (yummy) or GB riblets maybe once every couple of months. I also alternate soy milk with almond milk and I might eat a pound of tofu per week. I feel great and it all feels right to me . . .
