How Much Soy is in Your Diet???

September 15th, 2008

As always… all things should be read with a critical eye :~) I found an interesting article about the foods we should watch out for, I had to do a double take on the part about soy.

Did you know soy got its beginning as an INDUSTRIAL WASTE PRODUCT?

Research has shown that just two glasses of soy milk a day for one month are enough to change a woman’s menstrual cycle! And feeding soy to infants is even more devastating. It has been found that infants fed exclusively on soy formula are ingesting FIVE birth control pills worth of estrogen daily!

Yes the things they say are good for us now will probably differ in the morning but I do feel this article is at the very least worth a look.  To read more visit: http://nourishedmagazine.com.au/blog/articles/soy-the-abominable-bean

Happy Monday!

    I was a “guinea pig” baby. My parents received free soy formula back in, ahem, 1962, when it was just being test marketed. I developed such a taste for it that growing up I preferred soy milk to cow’s milk.

    Those “five birth control pills worth of estrogen” that I was consuming daily wrecked havoc on my young body: allergies, thyroid dysfunction, depression, headaches, sinus infections, chronic fatigue, weight gain, polycystic ovaries, edema. Of course, we never knew it was from the soy. As an adult, not only did I drink soy milk daily, but I discovered tofu and added it into my diet on a regular basis.

    A couple of months ago, I read an article about soy being the most mucus-forming plant on the planet and made the decision to eliminate it entirely from my diet. WOW, the detox that ensued! Let’s just say that I had buckets of mucus being expelled from every bodily orifice imaginable!
