What does that sentence say, bird? First, normal consumption isn't
quantified.


And it's also been recorded in at least one case that I recall that a person
who drinks too much water can die from water.

If you don't want to eat soy products then there is no compulsion for you to
do so despite what Bird chooses to do.

Then it says "should not", not "will not". So what the
sentence says is that most people probably won't have a physiological
response to phytoestrogens, because they don't consume soybeans beyond
some undefined "healthy limit". It doesn't say eat as much
phytoestrogens as you like, because there is no adverse physiological
threat from them. At some point they become a problem, but that point is
unknown.


And the same with drinking water.

Life is just one big risk. Perhaps we should all make a pact to slit our
wrists right now before something else comes along that might give us a rash
or kill us slowly.
