    An overconsumption of only soy-based products can’t be good either.

    I imagine you don’t realize what a non sequitur that is. OP said eat vegetables. There is nothing wrong with soy, though. I especially enjoy edamame, tempeh, and tofu. Naturally, one should avoid all over-processed foods like many mock-meats, but even the worst are vastly preferable for health to actual meat.

    Meat and dairy gets hundreds of millions combined from direct subsidy and promotion by US government agencies. A lot of money goes into advertising, covert PR, and selected research. If you’re going to be suspicious of biased research, be sure to keep your eyes open for that as well.

        It sounds like you’ve never tried edamame! That’s what you call a soy BEAN served in bean form. Get some frozen, steam it for a couple minutes, and it’s awesome. They’re a bit different from brown beans, in a delightful way, but they’re definitely beans.
