In this special episode, we shine a light on soy foods and the myths surrounding them. Three registered dietitian nutritionists, including myself, team up for an insightful podcast collaboration to discuss four common misconceptions about soy using the latest evidence-based research. 

Joining me are Melissa Joy Dobbins, “The Guilt-Free RD” and host of Sound Bites, and Karen Collins, an expert in cardiovascular and cancer nutrition. Together, we break down myths like ‘soy increases breast cancer risk,’ whether soy has “feminizing” effects on boys and men, the belief that processed soy is nutritionally inferior to traditional forms, and concerns about seed oils like soybean oil. 

We explore why respected health organizations support soy and share science-backed insights to help you see soy’s place in a healthy diet. 

Tune in to learn the truth and gain a fresh perspective on soy foods and nutrition.
