Soy is deadly! - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

I know, they sell soy products in health food stores, so it must be healthy... right?

Wrong.

In its natural state it is poisonous and must be fermented to be edible.

Soy contains Isoflavones (Genistein and Daidzein). In soy the isoflavones are built in insecticides. If they kill bugs are they good for humans?

Feeding an infant soy baby formula is like giving them 5 birth control pills per day!

I was made deathly ill from soy - it nearly killed me. I'm still recovering and taking drugs for hyperthyroidism after two years of daily soy consumption. I replaced milk with soy due to the fact that I have lactose intolerance.

Farmers love soy, because you don't need to fertilize it. Soy fixes nitrogen in the soil, so is a wonderful thing to grow! So then what do you do with it all? Well, hawk it to the trusting masses, that's what. So what if it contains hormones and damages people...

Even the FDA glosses over the fact that soy contains hormones that damage the thyroid.

We have been conducting a huge experiment on our population by feeding them large amounts of soy. In Asia, where they have the highest level of thyroid cancer and thyroid disease (as well as many "lady-boys"), soy has mainly been used as a condiment or filling, except in Japan where they consume tofu.

Stay away from soy!

I agree with you. There was a case a couple years back about two infants who got fed corn meal (I think) and soy milk mixed together, and both infants died. I'm sure it was corn meal, I remember reading it. That was scary since at the time I was drinking soy milk, trying to get away from dairy. I believe soy is worse than people think and a better choice for milk is something like organic almond, or goat.

Soy has the highest protein content in the vegetable world AND that protein is combined with a healthy polyunsaturated oil. THAT is why it is one of the most valued and eaten foods on the planet.

Internet nonsense nothwithstanding, soy remains a cheap, healthful and readily avialable food...far healthier than beef and dairy with their preposterous amounts of saturated, heart clogging fats!

There is an old say: One man's pleasure is another man's poison. In my case, soy is my pleasure. I am allergic to milk, so, in my case being able to drink and use soy milk on my cereal and in my coffee, is a real pleasure.

I also like that the Soy Milk I use has 300mg of potassium, and 30% mdr calcium, and 6.25 grams of Soy Protein, and 230 mg Omega-3, plus other good stuff.

There have been sufficient scientific studies, testifiying to the safety of soy, to make me feel safe consuming it, and I will continue to enjoy my Soy Milk. Perhaps those who are allergic or reactive to Soy products could use cow milk instead?
