    I am allergic to dairy and so i substitute with soy milk and soy yoghurt

    I’ve recently been told by a health professional to cut back on all soy products because of the GMO risk and also potential risks for memory deterioration later in life

    I only buy Alpro products

    Is soy safe to consume?

    thanks!

    What type of medical professional? I would be very suspicious of one that warned you about GMOs. You seem to be putting their advice on a par with people from the internet.

    Hi

    I had an appointment with a kinesiologist and they told me about the potential dangers of soy.

    Kinesiologists seems to be interested in gait and movement. Applied kinesiologists seems to be involved with a variety of other things. Which did you see?

    What qualifications do they hold in nutrition or dietetics? Does their registration body permit them to advise on nutrition/ diet?

    No one food (inc. soy) should be eaten overly often. Dairy substitutes tend to be low nutrient (vitamins and minerals added) and used to make other processed or gut unfriendly foods palatable.
