Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 It is an estrogen mimicker. Excess estrogen in our environment can lead to early puberty and other things. You may be fine with it if you do not use plastic in the microwave, use paraben free personal products, and eat organic meat.

Can someone enlighten me on this? > Thanks! SOY DANGERS: * High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children. * Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic orders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth. * Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women. * Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease. * Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body’s requirement for B12. * Soy increases the body’s requirement for vitamin D, which most of our kids are already probably deficient in. * Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy products. * Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. * Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and added to many soy foods. * Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I just wanted to say that the idea that people can't tolerate homogenized cows milk because of processing is wrong. I am lactose intolerant and I can't drink raw cows milk. I tried it and endured all the unpleasant side effects the same as homogenized milk. I think raw and organic anything is better but there is a lot of hype about raw milk. Also there are no chemicals used in processing milk for grocery stores. Homogenization is a process that passes the milk through screens to separate out the milk fat so they can guarantee a consistent fat content in each carton. Pasteurization is heating to kill bacteria. There are no additives that I know of to milk. One of our friends is a manufacturer of milk equipment - maybe one of 2 in the country, it is highly regulated and as you'd expect he is horrified at the idea of raw milk. But there was a day when many people became ill from a wide variety of diseases transmitted thru cows milk. We solved that problem but now people want the raw unpasteurized product. I guess when cows are maintained by very strict standards in small herds they can control for disease but mass production seems impossible. I used soy for years and I increased my problems with hypothyroidism over that period. I've switched to Trader Joes plain rice milk - I like the taste and I supplement extra Calcium. Also I got a blood clot after a surgery and unexpectedly was unable to regulate the Coumadin they wanted me on. It turned out after a lot of questioning that my daily use of soy milk had deposited huge amounts of Vitamin K in my liver. Vit K interferes with Coumadin so I ended up on huge doses. However the tech who scanned my liver said it was the most healthy liver she'd ever seen. I would not attribute that to soy milk but rather to 2 hrs a day of exercise and a no sugar diet - those were the days my friends. no time for that now.
