Actually, there is a theory on the soy brain atrophy which posits a causal
link between one of soy's phytoestrogens (genestein (sp?) and adult
neurogenesis (the recently discovered fact that adult mammals can indeed and
do, grow new neurons). The genestein may inhibit adult neurogeneis, which is
why, after many years of soy, you get a smaller brain than you would
otherwise at that age.
That's why I won't eat soy.
