please do tell...

Name two.

If we don't know why you object to soy, we can't gaurantee that our alternatives won't be equally objectionable.

You're link dinnae work.

Now i'm having difficulty getting the link to work too- but i'm working on it. So last time i listened to the program i took notes and looked at some of the references- which are many. I'm still looking into the references but so far the reports look pretty acurate.Anyway here are my notes:

I'm still looking into the references but so far the reports look pretty acurate. Anyway here are my notes: Here’s what I learned from the KPFA program Your own Health and Fitness with Lana Burman. In the program she interviews Kaayla Daniel PhD who wrote The Whole Soy Story .
FDA lists soy on the poisonous plant database with reference to studies that warn about growth problems, mineral malexorptions, endocrine disruption
Soy protein isolate was originally developed only to be used as a binder sealer for cardboard boxes and also as a fertilizer.
People were concerned by the leaching of carcinogen the nitrocinine toxin licinoalonine into the food.
Soy is protected by big food interest that controls what the consumer learns about its health effects.
Soy is one of the most processed food

O*ld fashioned fermented organic soy products are ok – miso, tempeh, tofu.

*Concerns are soy protein isolate, soy protein concerntrate, textured vegetable protein…

*In Japan where the most soy has been traditionally consumed - the Japenese consumed on average 36grams or 9 tablespoons a day- which is less than may people consume in the US

*GMO soy is the #1 industry responsible for rainforest devastation for farming

Recent studies show that soy protein has a bad effect of sperm making males more infertile

Dr. Isazuki – top thyroid Dr did a study introducing people 30 grams a day of a pickled soy bean product- and after two months many of them showed symptoms of hyperthyroid and hypothyroid

Study of Japenese men showed that that the ones who has the most soy had the most cognitive damage- excellent study

*Soybean contains a number of antinutrients- particularly difficult to eliminate through processes – tripson inhibitor- tripson helps digest protein- main reason many people have digestion problems when eatting soy products

Soy also contains Pytates- they interfer with mineral absorptions (calcium and zinc) and they need to properly processed to get rid of it

Industrial processing to rid soy of antinutrients and phytates are difficult to eliminate and use harmful chemicals (like hexane)

Soy protein isolate has many harmful chemicals added.
Most soy milk has many harmful additives- carrageen a thickener can be harmful to digestion, vitamin D2 which adds calcium is linked to many health problems

The soy bean likes to such up flouride from water- which it gets while growing and often through processing

The imitation meat products are the worst –38 petroleum products in processed soy used to act like ground beef

Modern soy protein products often get nitrosimines – carcinogens
and toxins like licinoalonine

Soy foods linked to vulvodenia –which makes sex painful for women

Soy has a huge amount of estrogen and can harm the thyroid

A number of U. of Illinois studies show that soy accelerate the growth of breast cancer

Soy is linked to early puberty and erectile disfunction and it reduced labido

Textured plant protein, hydrolyzed plant protein, buleon all contain soy

I'm a holistic nutritionist, and I work with many different kinds of people...

and one of the major issues that I contend with in my clients is food allergies.

soy bean, along with wheat, yeast, and dairy, regularly comes up with my clients...soy bean comes up mostly in those with mediterranean decent-

soy is a GREAT food, for those who can tolerate it...I personally have a HORRIBLE soy allergy...but I love miso!!! so its very complicated.

I'd say about half or the peopll I have worked with in the past 2 years have a problem with soy...

from professional experience, I have found that many people with european background, I'd guess maybe half of them, would have some kind of intolerence to soy-it has not been indigenous to those cultures, so that may be a reason-same reason why dairy (cows milk) allergies are more prevelent in those with african decent-this is based mostly on my clinical and proffessional experience.

there is NOTHING WRONG with soy, per se, but if you have an intolerence or an allergy to it, then, just like anything else, it can be VERY bad for you-and soy bean, processed or other wise, is one of the top 7 major food allergens (wheat (gluten), dairy, soy, corn, yeast, peanut, beef-are the big 7-ironically, those are probably the most consumed foods in america)

if you are going to eat soy bean, do so by eating it in the form of fresh tofu and fermented products, like high qualty miso-and if you are vegan/vegetarian, I would rotate soy with other beans like chick peas, kidney beans, adzuki, and others.

soy is a tough protein to break down, even if you don't have an intolerence-so if it is new to you, then I'd slowly integrate it so you won't build any klind of intolerence to it...

and I wouldn't recommend to anybody anything processed-and the "soy nuggets" and "soy dogs" et al...are just artificial mass produced "health food"...just not healthy for you (nor do I find them very tasty)...

and as far as soy milk and soy butters and soy oil...very controvercial, and that is another topic for another day.
