      An overconsumption of only soy-based products can’t be good either.

      The cited source is a pro-vegetarianism site. That doesn’t seem like the most objective of sources to cover this research.

        Where are you getting overconsumption and why “soy only”?

        Like… Thats not the bulk of vegan food. Are you aware that more options than processed fake meat exist?

        Also 300g of chicken would hardly classify as overconsumption would it?

        I imagine you don’t realize what a non sequitur that is. OP said eat vegetables. There is nothing wrong with soy, though. I especially enjoy edamame, tempeh, and tofu. Naturally, one should avoid all over-processed foods like many mock-meats, but even the worst are vastly preferable for health to actual meat.

        Meat and dairy gets hundreds of millions combined from direct subsidy and promotion by US government agencies. A lot of money goes into advertising, covert PR, and selected research. If you’re going to be suspicious of biased research, be sure to keep your eyes open for that as well.
