whey protein or soy protein???

Question
Hi phill,
Im an 18 year old male who is starting BACK at the gym..
Basically, ive been told by my dermatologist to cut down on my dairy intake and therefore i bought a small tub of soy protein 95 (soy protein isolate). I intend to take it twice a day once post training and once in the morning or between breakfast and lunch. I read on the internet that soy protein is not as good whey protein as it does not absorb as quickly as whey protein does, and something to do with amino acids or something along those lines. I also read that it will not hurt to take both soy and whey isolate. Since i need to cut down on dairy, do you recommend me buy a whey protein and take post training and the soy in the morning? or just stick with the soy????
Thank you
Theo

Answer
Theo-

Honestly I would drop the soy totally. The health issues, safety of soy, are not 100% secure yet and enough to keep me from recommending anyone takes it. I would search and read up on "The Whole Soy Story" and others. To many open questions. I would stick with whey or egg protein or simply eat more meat, fish, poultry etc.
