Does anyone know the difference between the two of these? And/Or the benefits or disadvantages of taking one or the other?

Thanks

At this time it's recommended that:

• Infants not be given soy-based formula until more research is done on safety in regard to neonatal sexual development and its effects on thyroid suppression.

• Men not use soy products until more research is done on its effects on Testosterone and testicular function.

• Weight-training individuals who hope for increased muscle hypertrophy not use soy protein until more research is done on effects of decreased Testosterone, increased cortisol levels and muscle protein breakdown.

I had some soy protein, but I gave it to my fiancee...
