THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT SOY

THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT SOY

SOY, MUCH LIKE MSG, HAS BECOME A STAPLE IN MOST OF THE AMERICAN DIET. NOT AS TOXIC AS MSG, SOY STILL REMAINS A POTENT SOURCE OF TOXINS IN OUR DIET. LEARN THE TRUTH. SOY IS NOT A FOOD FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION UNLESS FERMENTED IN THE FORM OF TEMPEH, MISO, ETC.

DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE MEDIA CAMPAIGN TELLS YOU ABOUT SOY AS A HEALTH FOOD. IT IS NOT!

THIS MESSAGE NEEDS REPEATING UNTIL OTHERWISE GOOD HEALTH STORES LIKE WHOLE FOODS AND TRADER JOE’S STOP SELLING SOY PRODUCTS, AT LEAST NOT WITHOUT A WARNING LABEL. YOU SHOULD READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE AT DR. MERCOLA’S SITE:

The Evidence Against Soy

“Dow Chemical and DuPont, the same corporations that brought misery and death to millions around the world through Agent Orange, are now the driving forces behind the promotion of soy as a food for humans. They are financing anti-meat and anti-milk campaigns aimed largely at those concerned about animal welfare and the environment, trying to convince them that imitations such as "soymilk" are not only healthier than the real thing, but better for the earth too.”

Dr. Mecola’s comment (extracted):

"What’s So Wrong With Soy?Unlike the Asian culture, where people eat small amounts of whole soybean products, western food processors separate the soybean into two golden commodities--protein and oil. And there is nothing natural or safe about these products.Says Dr. Kaayla Daniel, author of
The Whole Soy Story,

“Today's high-tech processing methods not only fail to remove the anti-nutrients and toxins that are naturally present in soybeans but leave toxic and carcinogenic residues created by the high temperatures, high pressure, alkali and acid baths and petroleum solvents." Dr. Daniel also points out the findings of numerous studies reviewed by her and other colleagues -- that soy does not reliably lower cholesterol, and in fact raises homocysteine levels in many people, which has been found to increase your risk of stroke, birth defects, and yes: heart disease.

Other common health problems linked to a high-soy diet include:
Thyroid problems, including weight gain, lethargy, malaise, fatigue, hair loss, and loss of libido
Premature puberty and other developmental problems in babies, children and adolescents

Cancer
Brain damage
Reproductive disorders
Kidney stones
Weakened immune system
Severe, potentially fatal food allergies

"Most soy, perhaps about 80 percent or more, is also genetically modified, which adds
its own batch of health concerns.
Despite these findings, many people still want to believe the hype, thinking that these studies must somehow be wrong. But the content of soy itself should be a clue. For example, non-fermented soy products contain:

Phytoestrogens (isoflavones) genistein and daidzein, which mimic and sometimes block the hormone estrogen
Phytates, which block your body's uptake of minerals
Enzyme Inhibitors, which hinder protein digestion
Hemaggluttin, which causes red blood cells to clump together and inhibits oxygen take-up and growth
High amounts of omega-6 fat, which is pro-inflammatory
You’re Consuming Soy Whether You’re Buying “Soy Products” or Not
Even if you know better than to gulp down large amounts of soy milk, slabs of tofu, and other soy snacks, you are still consuming soy if you’re eating processed food, in the form of soybean oil and lecithin. So depending on your dietary habits, your (unfermented) soy consumption could really add up. In fact,
Dr. Joseph Hibbeln at the National Institutes of Health told CNN.com he estimates that soybeans, usually in the form of oil, account for 10 percent of the average person’s total calories in the United States! When you consider that 90 percent of the money Americans spend on food goes toward processed food, this amount of “accidental” soy intake is not surprising.

"As a side note, I’d like to make a quick statement here to address some of my readers’ concerns about my reduced CoQ 10 supplement, ubiquinol, which also contain soy bean oil.

"Unfortunately, the reduced CoQ 10 (ubiquinol) – which is the optimal form of CoQ 10 that your body needs, especially if you’re over 25 – is only produced by a multi-billion dollar Japanese pharmaceutical company that holds ALL the world patents on it. Hence, there’s no way to replace the soy, even though that would have been my preference.

However, as in all things, moderation is key. If I thought there were ANY significant health risks from consuming this small amount of soy oil, then I would not personally take two a day – which I do. I do however avoid all processed forms of soy products, and severely limit my intake of other unfermented soy, which is easy to do by simply avoiding processed and “fast” foods."

MEDICAL EVIDENCE OF VITAMIN EFFECTIVENESS

“SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17 -- Infections and abdominal wall complications were markedly reduced in trauma patients treated with high doses of vitamins C, E, and selenium, researchers said here.”

Action Points
§ Explain to interested patients that the study found that high doses of antioxidants were associated with reduced pulmonary and infectious complications in trauma patients.
§ Explain that the study was a retrospective review of patient records and hence more prone to confounding than a randomized, placebo-controlled trial and cannot prove causality.
§ Note that this study was published as an abstract and presented orally at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

It is not news to us. But, now it is a sanctioned study by doctors, other people will begin to listen.

This is just a beginning and the tip of the iceberg; but it is significant due to the fact that it is a real clinical study by real M.D.s. This makes it appear more important to people. But, the point is this;

It is verification of what alternative medicine has been saying all these years. Take your vitamins and supplements. Going against the brain washing of most physician training, that is “taking supplements is just having expensive urine,” takes bravery and thinking outside the box of conventional, big pharma sponsored ignorance.

“The antioxidant regimen consisted of 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 1,000 IU of alpha-tocopherol three times a day and 200 mcg/day of intravenous selenium.”


We know that even larger doses of vitamin C can be extremely effective. There are hundreds of studies that prove this. If you want to learn more and how to prevent as well as treat many conditions with vitamin C for example see;

The time is fast drawing near when we will again become our own best physicians. Self Reliance is once again rearing its lovely head.
