dear lauren, a very nice interview.. but i am want some more detailed answer that how to lose weight. simply cuuting on the carbohydrates is enough or we should go for fats also????? because in our ASIAN society we use to eat three big meals and two snacks including tea and some fast food. and our traditional meals are also high in fat content. so can you please share a low caloric menu, which help me to lose weight or what other specific measures i have to apply with low caloric diet???

I agree with Steve, I like this style for relaying information. On the topic of soy. I think Monica is right that the benefits and dangers may be blown out of proportion. But I wouldn't being overdoing soy in adolescent boys and I would think twice about using soy in formula as I don't think we know the long term consequences of high levels of phytoestrogens in infants.

@Jedidja, that’s a common concern but one that the research doesn’t seem to bear out. In fact, it appears that the phytoestrogens in soy may even help protect against prostate cancer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15351581

Frankly, I think both the purported benefits AND the purported dangers of soy have been blown out of proportion. But for reasons I outline in this article, I think 2-3 servings of soy (preferably in a form reasonably close to a soybean) is plenty. A little soy may be good; but no need to go bonkers. http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx

I think one of the myths about protein is that soy is a good source of it (for vegetarians, or anyone else). We (men, for sure) do not need another source of phytoestrogens in our system.

Glad you like it! I think it's a good idea. Gets the word out about us a little bit, and also gives the community an opportunity to get reliable feedback about our content. Let me know if you have ideas for other experts we should try think about interviewing.

Nice interview! I really like the idea of taking community questions and running them past an expert in this format.
