Noting yet. Very little research has been done to show anything. Kind of like HFCS, it was introduced, seen as a miraculous discovery, than later down the road discovered to have poor results. I.E. HFCS playing a strong role in obesity.

To be honest it sounds like a pretty decent thing though. A simple way to add protein to a meal. Which it was used for way before corporate America got its hands on it. Mostly medical use before, i.e. tube feedings, meal supplements, just an easy way to introduce proteins back into diets. Now it is used to replace real things. Instead of being added as an extra nutrient for protein, it is being used to replace the use of more expensive, real, natural food proteins.

I have done limited research into it. I just know to avoid it. But, FDA hasn't got a stronghold on regulating it, so labeling it isn't up to par as say Peanuts. So you don't always know what it is in. Same goes for a lot of Soy products. I would dare to say that 80-90% of Americans bread has Soy flour in it. Soy Lecithan, heard of it. It is in everything. It is a thickener. Cheap as dirt too.

I would like better labeling, but I am starting to think that the death count isn't high enough. Since it is pretty normal fro America to wait until so many are dead first to have cause for concern.

(sorry still a bit pissed off)
