Soy update


SOY UPDATE:
Mainstream propaganda has been promoting soy as a health food for many years. Here is the TRUTH about soy.
1. Textured soy protein has 3 anti nutrients which are phytic acid, enzyme inhibitors, and isoflavones which are thyroid inhibitors.
2. Today the majority of soy beans are genetically modified.
3. Goiter and hypothyroidism were reported in infants receiving soy based formula. Soy is also high in copper.
4. Most soy products are highly processed and stripped of nutrients. This includes by-products of soy oil extracted with hexane and other harmful chemicals.
5. The Japanese use lots of whole organic soy in their diet. However, they ferment or sprout the soy which destroys the inhibitors. The fermented soy is called tempeh and miso which are very nutritious.
6. Some wonderful alternatives to soy are nuts, seeds, sprouted beans, whey protein, pea protein,brewers yeast, eggs, cheese, yogurt and of course organic meat and fish.
