Listen to your body: If you are drinking soy milk and notice this effect there is a biologically plausible reason for this. Soy can antagonize iodine uptake into the thyroid throwing off thyroid function. It also has an estrogenic effect which could affect hormonal balance. Peter d'adamo believes that certain blood types are more susceptible to adverse effects of soy.
