Soy is such a simple food...or is it?

It has many toxins that manufacturers do not remove:

Phytic acid reduces assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc.

Then there are trypsin inhibitors that inhibit protein digestion and affect pancreatic function.

What about toxic lysinoalanine, and carcinogenic nitrosamines:

Anti-thyroid agents which include isoflavones Genistein linked to hypothyroidism, infertility, breast and thyroid cancer.

The manufacturing process removes all the goodness from proteins and increases levels of carcinogens, therefore soy can cause deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D, both needed for healthy bones

Soy can stimulate the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors because it contains glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, formed during soy food processing.

You've heard all the debates about high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys, well soy to the rescue....not!

How does the soy industry get away with this?

"...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..."

Soy products that are fermented are safe to eat in small amounts, because the anti-nutrients are neutralized.

Something to think about and hard to swallow...

Here's an alternative topic that correlates to soy with a happy ending.

Healthy proteins provide your body with the essential amino acids you need to build and repair, plus maintain lean body mass...

Healthy proteins feed muscles, skin, hair and nails, and are low in saturated fat, cholesterol and chemicals.

Good sources include fresh water varieties of fish like wild salmon

Beans: legumes, tofu, tempeh, TVP...

Seeds: sunflower, pumpkin...

Nuts: walnuts, almonds, peanuts

Nut-butters: peanut, almond, cashew, etc...
