Is there any truth to the recent scientific claim that prolonged consumption of tofu leads to a shrinkage in men's brains?

There are a number of studies which do say this shrinkage is true. http://www.psa-rising.com/eatingwell/tofu_brainap00.htm Which raises the possibility of dementia in the elderly http://www.thehealthfanatic.com/tofu-dementia/ I couldn't find scientific studies that said it wasn't true.

The Trouble With Tofu: Soy and the Brain by John D. MacArthur - "Tofu Shrinks Brain!" Not a science fiction scenario, this sobering soybean revelation is for real. But how did the "poster bean" of the '90s go wrong? Apparently0608in many ways — none of which bode well for the brain. http://www.dcnutrition.com/news/Detail.CFM?RecordNumber=483 The soy industry says that White's study only shows an association between tofu consumption and brain aging, but does not prove cause and effect. On the other hand, soy experts at the National Center for Toxicological Research, Daniel Sheehan, Ph.D., and Daniel Doerge, Ph.D., consider this tofu study very important. "It is one of the more robust, well-designed prospective epidemiological studies generally available. . . We rarely have such power in human studies, as well as a potential mechanism." http://www.rense.com/general3/soy.htm Jun 26 09, 10:00 PM
