So, I went out and gathered all of the facts.
I looked at several criteria when evaluating soy versus whey protein. Here are the results for your consumption.
The data seems to lean heavily toward whey protein, especially if you choose to use a glutamine supplement. If you want to supplement your fat burning or muscle building workout, I (and the data) suggest going with a quality whey protein.
Did I miss any important criteria? Questions? Comments? Let me know!

Excellent chart…You should put a legend box so people who don’t read labels like we do can understand what these values mean in comparison to the greater scheme of things.
Yes Whey is superior, since cows eat soy… so whey actually comes
from soy.
whey (cows) eat vegetables to produce whey.
but dont eat soy or vegetable protein. its not good.
oh wait, the cows ate vegetables to produce whey.
meltdown….
core dump….
