Default Soy protein: Pretty good deal!

I've noticed that not many people pay much attention to soy protein. I had taken soy protein in the past, some chocolate-flavored stuff. Once I ran out, I stopped taking it. I have once again started taking it. Yesterday, I read an article on the net showing a study where weight-lifters took pure whey, some took pure soy, and some took a 50/50 blend of whey/soy. After a time period, of several weeks, they all showed comparable muscle increase. I learned that the soy protein has all 9 aminos that we need for muscle growth. Also, I learned that it is absorbed by the body more slowly than whey. So, I have started putting one scoop of soy in w/ my PWO shake, as well as one scoop of whey, for a 2-stage delivery of protein. And, I take one scoop of soy at night, right before hitting the sack. In my opinion, it's worth it. BTW, all the myths about soy making guys grow breasts is BS.
