Dangers of soy explained by Elaine Hollingsworth

[Herbsman]

300,000,000 Americans

Say 1.0% of them drink 1 cup of soy milk a day (on average that's probably not far off).

That gives 3,000,000 cups/day, which 700,000 liters/day

Now, per person, per year, that's 0.08 l/yr

So extrapolating that back, the study is saying that Americans consume 1.5 l/day, but I believe it means 1.5 l/yr.

This would give numbers more like 18% of Americans drink 1 cup per day or 1% of Americans drink 18 cups/day or 9% of Americans drink 2 cups/day, etc. I can see this being true.

So I believe the study is referring to number of liters per person per year, even though it says per day.

Like I say, it's a rubbish figure if it's worked out using the mean. I'd imagine most people drink no soy milk, whereas some people drink lots.

Exactly. My GF and I go through a gallon every 4 days!
