Mark Messina, PhD is a nutritionist with a master's degree in nutrition from the University of Michigan and a doctorate in nutrition from Michigan State University. Mark has worked for the National Cancer Institute, and was responsible for allocating funding for research into the effects of soy foods on cancer prevention. Dr. Messina also co-edits and writes a regular column for The Soy Connection a newsletter sent to 70,000 dietitians. According to Dr. Messina, over 1000 research articles are published on soy each year; there are tens of thousands of websites with a focus on soy. He is convinced that consuming soy is beneficial and states that articles and discussions about the "dark side of soy" are mostly internet based and come from unknowledgeable and biased people. If you need more information in order to have an intelligent discussion about soy, Dr. Messina is the person to provide it.
