dangers of soy

24 July 2008 06:12
Hi i came acros this and have never seen anything like it, its a bit long to read but wat do you think of it? Have you ever wondered about soy? It's promoted as the miracle food that will feed the world while at the same time prevent and cure all manner of diseases. But what if all you've read about soy is nothing but a multi-million dollar marketing strategy based on scanty facts, half-truths and lies? Most people remain unaware that soy is known to contain an array of potent chemical toxins. The modern manufacturing processes of high-profit industries make no effort to remove these potent toxins. High levels of phytic acid, trypsin inhibitors, toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines are all present in soy products. Phytoestrogens that disrupt endocrine function and are potent antithyroid agents are present in vast quantities in soy, including the potentially devastating isoflavone Genistein. Infants exclusively fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 22,000 times more estrogen compounds in their blood than babies fed milk-based formula, the estrogenic equivalent of at least five birth control pills per day. Premature development of girls has been linked to the use of soy formula, as has the underdevelopment of males. Infant soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease. Soy is linked to infertility, breast cancer, hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, and many other disorders. "Imagine drugs that are known, by years of scientific documentation, to be both carcinogenic and to also cause DNA and chromosome damage being prescribed and administered through the food supply to populations of many countries around the world without the knowledge or consent of the individuals consuming these foods ... with no way to track dosage, individual reactions, or harmful side-effects ... and without any concern for some people's increased vulnerability to these drugs, such as cancer patients. It sounds crazy, but that is exactly what is happening around the world when Soy is added to our food supply. Soy contains the scientifically documented carcinogenic and DNA damaging and chromosome damaging natural chemicals genistein and daidzein." - True Health, the magazine of Carotec Inc., Naples, Florida. May/June 2004. "(Soyfoods) are not nutrients. They are drugs." How could anyone get away with this? The answer is simple, given the soy industry is one of the world's most wealthy and powerful multi-billion dollar industries. "Despite an impressive array of scientific evidence that soy is not a fit food for man nor beast, the soy marketing mastodon has marched through the American market like Sherman through Georgia - and likely doing about as much damage as Sherman's Union Army did. In our opinion the widespread use of non-fermented soy is part of the chronic disease problem since soy is known to wreak havoc with the human thyroid and other hormone systems." - True Health, the magazine of Carotec Inc., Naples, Florida. May/June 2004. The result is an industry that will systematically steamroll anybody that dares suggest there may be problems with the darling soy. When we first questioned the safety of soy, a representative of Protein Technologies told us that they had: "...teams of lawyers to crush dissenters, could buy scientists to give evidence, owned television channels and newspapers, could divert medical schools and could even influence governments..." This boast has proven all too true, and you'll be shocked to learn that much of what you've read about soy is nothing but a con

according to my endricology specialist at my hospital, what laycan says is 100 % correct. However, I have to be mroe careful than most as I have low testosterone levels - I'm only in my early 20's and therefore receive hrt, 3 weekly injections. Soy is so so cheap and packed full of protein and vitamins and I wanted it to play a large part in my diet so I asked my endriconologist his views and he showed me 7 scientific journal entries -I'm sorry I have no links, that regular soya intake in YOUNG MEN decreased free test by up to 17 %. He subsequently told me never to eat it as the plant oestrogens do act in a similar way and can be converted to oestrogen, therefore decreasing test.

Well i've eaten tons of soya for the last 15 years. Absolutely no problems. The oestrogen in soya is phytooestrogen. From plants. Are we plants? Can we mate with plants to create plant-human hybrids? Clearly not. So why should their hormones be compatible with ours? Plenty of vegetables have their own hormones, yet no-one worries about turning into a carrot. There are many articles harping on about the oestrogen content, but just as many that completely rubbish this. I know which i believe. It's worth bearing in mind too that the meat industry has a very big incentive to try and undermine soya. Take what you read (as well as your TVP) with a pinch of salt. The diference being that without salt, TVP just tastes bland, whereas without salt, soya-bashing pseudo-science tastes of desperate bull$hit.
