This is a must read article, especially if you are drinking soy milk or thinking of feeding it to your baby. Don’t. Do yourself a favor and do some research first. You will be glad you did. Also, a great source of info on this is at Dr. Mercola’s site; some articles listed below.
The problem is very big since it is one more major attack on our health and the welfare of the planet in the name of big profits for big companies that are so short-sighted in the name of money that they don’t realize they are going to kill their own children down the road. Eventually, everyone suffers from the natural cause and effect of these irresponsible and greed motivated actions.
To say there is not enough evidence yet to make any scientific decision as to the safety of soy, is the same old song and dance the big drug companies use. Face it folks; we are considered the white mice in these experiments. Any chemical additive is considered innocent until proven guilty by killing enough people to get the attention of the media. Otherwise, its business as usual.
The problem with soy is it could help render us impotent as a race due to its phytoestrogenic properties.
The problem is it is estimated to be in 70% of what we eat in one form or another. Buyer be really ware!
NOTE: Fermented soy products like tempeh and miso do not have these problems due to the process. However, you still have to watch out for the genetically modified and chemical drenched non-organic stuff that is for sale. No, sorry, you can’t just shop unconsciously anymore. You have to perform due diligence when choosing fuel to put in that expensive race car you call your body. Good luck.
Even just a quick look at these articles will convince you to avoid soy and its derivatives whenever you can!!!
