I think any article that contains statements like:

"Traditional soyfoods are high in polyunsaturated fat and so when substituted for foods high in saturated fat they can reduce blood cholesterol levels and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD)"

Can pretty safely be ignored.

The whole thing appears composed of some very dubious statements.

Here is one more from Mr. Messina: Soybean isoflavones warrant greater consideration as a treatment for the alleviation of menopausal hot flashes.

And he appears to have some conflicts of interest:

"MM regularly consults for companies that manufacture and/or sell soyfoods and/or soy extracts."

Maybe he's just very very passionate about soy!

As are his employers I'm sure.
