Soy Side Effects: Crazy About Soy

Not because I hate soy, but because I hate the way the soy industry has lied to us and poisoned us for profit. You must read Kaayla T. Daniels’s book The Whole Soy Story to truly understand the history and harmful effects of soy. The book contains many compelling testimonials about the dangers of soy from real people. The serious health problems caused by overconsumption of soy are unbelievable. Soy is a cheap, cheap, and difficult to digest food source with many harmful side effects. You have been lied to once again and I will not tone down the truth so that corporations can market waste products as health foods. I know what you’re thinking. If soy is so bad, how come most people think it is good? This is why:

First of all, the origins of the use of soybeans, 3000 years ago, in ancient China, Japan and Indonesia arose from poverty and famine. Soybeans did not serve as food until the discovery of fermentation techniques.1 Soybeans were used for crop rotation to add nitrogen to the soil.

They were not eaten.

These ancient people would have preferred to eat fish and meat because they simply did not have enough. Soy protein or tofu evolved as a poor man’s meat substitute. Fermentation of the soybeans was found to give them a better flavor, made them more edible, and medicines could be created from the soy-like nattokinase. It is the fermentation of soy that makes it healthy in small amounts. This fermentation of food has been used since ancient times to preserve food and create medicines from food, and is known as “Alchemy”.

The Chinese did not consume unfermented soybeans because of the large amounts of natural toxins or “antinutrients” that can cause severe gastric problems, reduced protein digestion, and pancreatic conditions, including cancer. 1 Unfermented soybeans are not healthy at all, and in large quantities, such as the levels currently consumed in the United States, it is very detrimental to our health. It has been linked to hypothyroidism, early puberty in boys, loss of testosterone, and many other hormone-related health problems.2 The American soybean industry took unfermented soybeans, genetically modified it, and turned it into a unhealthy food that nature never intended. Further compounding the problem is the relentless multi-million dollar marketing campaign to convince us that soy is a healthy food and that we should eat it in quantity.

“Marketing costs money, especially when it needs to be bolstered with” research, “but there are plenty of funds available. Soy producers pay $ 80 million annually to support United soyto “strengthen the position of soybeans in the market and maintain and expand domestic and foreign markets for the uses of soybeans and soy-derived products.” Private companies like Archer Daniels Midland they also contribute their part. ADM spent $ 9 million on advertising over the course of a year. “1 ADM is, of course, the corporation that brought us the hydrogenated soybean oil or” trans fat. “The marketing is working.” Soy milk sales have increased from $ 2 million in 1980 to more than $ 300 million in the United States last year “1.

The best marketing strategy for a product that is inherently unhealthy is, of course, a health claim. 1

Claims that eating soy can “lower cholesterol levels” and “reduce cancer” have been approved by the FDA after intense lobbying and “purported research” by the soy industry that purportedly demonstrates a benefit to the Health. The opposite is actually true. Soy contains “antinutrients” that are toxic and carcinogenic to the human body.

Soy protein (tofu) is the creepy residue left over from making soybean oil. This slimy by-product of the soybean oil industry was considered a waste product and animal feed until recently. By the way, animals don’t like soy either and will only eat it when they starve.

When I started weight training, I grabbed a bottle of vanilla flavored soy protein powder and began to gulp down some bad tasting chalk shakes with glee. I thought he was doing me a huge favor, but little did I know that he was actually reversing any chance of muscle gains. Reviewing a recent “Muscle Magazine” I saw an article that supposedly reviewed the different protein powder supplements available on the market today. The article featured animated protein tubs with friendly faces and the names “Soy,” “Whey,” “Casein,” and “Egg.” Whey and soybeans were presented as the best option for their health, low cost and nutritional value. Now listen carefully to what I am going to tell you next. THEY’RE LYING TO YOU! Whey and soy protein are waste products of the food industry, cleverly disguised as “health foods” and largely marketed to the American consumer.

Soy protein isolate is a highly processed product. A suspension of soybeans is washed with acid and then mixed with an alkaline solution. Acid washing in aluminum tanks filters high levels of aluminum in the final product. The curd is then dried at high temperatures, completely denaturing the end product and rendering the protein ineffective and drastically altered than nature intended. Soy-fed animals must be supplemented with lysine for normal growth.

Do not trust Fitness for men magazine either. “Open a copy and you’ll find pages and pages of full-color advertisements of soy-based chocolate bars and instant drinks touted as a way to create the macho man with perfect abs. Sadly, ironically, most issues contain the article necessary who advises these super- Lothair built how to have good sex. Fitness for men to warn its readers that soy reduces testosterone levels in men, advertising revenue would dry up and the magazine would be closed. “2 (Kaayla T. Daniel)

Break out your Fitness and Muscle magazines that are full of lies and eat a delicious steak or fish dinner.

You may have heard of Edamame, the new “healthy” baby green soybean pods. Recently, while eating at a local sushi restaurant, I noticed tables of customers around me eating happy appetizers of steamed Edamame. Surely this must be good, right? Incorrect! Edamame sucks too! The good news is that these baby soybeans that are still in the pod are tender and tastier. They also contain less harmful plant estrogens that lower testosterone. Then I would compare them to light cigarettes. They are much less harmful than regular soy that is loaded with anti-testosterone hormones!

Supporters of soy discredit milk and supporters of (grass-fed) milk discredit soy. They are both right and both are wrong. Small amounts of milk from pure grazing animals would be good and ideal, but not necessary. Small amounts of fermented soy products like Nattokinase and Miso prepared the old way are fine and are considered medicine in the East.

If you are not eating organic, you should know that 99% of the non-organic soy we eat is genetically modified and has one of the highest percentages of pesticide contamination of any of our foods.1 This “American Soy Processed, Genetically Modified” “What we know, is poisoning us and causing disease and illness.”

Excellent soy protein for lowering testosterone

Eating soy protein causes low testosterone levels. This is especially concerning for men and bodybuilders. For a bodybuilder, soy protein is like kryptonite! Plant estrogens will rob you of your manhood, shrink your muscles, and reduce your sex drive. Ancient monks used to eat extra tofu to help them easily keep their vows of celibacy.

Vegetarians who consume tofu and tofu as a meat substitute are at risk of severe mineral deficiencies. The results of calcium, magnesium, and iron deficiency are well known; zinc is less so.1 I recently met someone who was a vegetarian and ate a lot of tofu because he “loves animals.” For God’s sake, don’t eat a shit bean waste product because you love animals! He loves animals and eats raw nuts, “quality” beans, and maybe some eggs. I also love and respect animals and am often amazed by the astonishing beauty of the wild creatures in nature. Humans, however, didn’t climb to the top of the food chain just to step aside and eat tofu because we love animals. I love them, respect them and eat some of them too!

Pour your milk down the sink! Spit your tofu out the window! Throw your milk and soy products in the trash today and be healthier tomorrow!
