Too Much Of A Good Thing?

Soybean is know to contain a weak plant estrogen that may help to prevent breast cancer. They contain omega-3 fatty acids, which prevent heart attacks, the fiber helps to prevent diabetes. 
But soybeans also contain  trypsin inhibitors that can block protein consumption and hemagglutinin, which causes clots to form. So, large amounts of soybeans could make clots that can damage your heart or lungs. It can also make pancreas work too hard to overcome the blocked protein effect. 
Soybean also contain goitrogens, which block thyroid function. Large doses can slow your thyroid.
Soybean also contain phytates, which could block the absorptions of minerals.

The rule is do not eat five, ten, or twenty servings a day of any single food, no matter what promoters or advertisers say.
