The petitioner Solae contends that its data is “based on the totality of publicly available scientific evidence” when, in fact, their evidence represents a very small portion of the available published studies. We find that the petitioners were highly selective in their choice of evidence and in the ir commentary, omitting many studies that show soy to be ineffective as a cancer prevention agent, emphasizing favorable outcomes in studies where results were mixed, and providing excuses for results of the few unfavorable studies that they included to give the illusion of balance. Solae states that “to the best of the knowledge of the undersigned, this petition is a representative and balanced submission” although it omitted all mention of the many well-designed studies that have suggested that soy protein can contribute to, cause and accelerate the growth of cancer.
