Soya chunks, made from defatted soy flour, are often considered a great source of protein with nine essential amino acids.
However, several myths continue to circulate around it, and many claim that it has multiple side effects.
Many say that they can cause man-boobs as they have phytoeastrogen. However, experts say it's not true.
Another belief is that they mess with hormones, especially in those with thyroid issues.
Doctors say that the only restriction is that they shouldn't eat soy along with thyroid medications, but should give it a few hours' gap.
Yet another myth is that soy increases breast cancer risk. However, doctors of the Mayo Clinic dismiss it and say that, instead, it can lower the risk.
