SOY

[Guest guest]

Modern soy protein foods in no way resemble the traditional Asian soy foods,

and may contain carcinogens like nitrates and lysinoalanine. Non-fermented soy

products like tofu, soy milk and meatless foods made from textured vegetable

protein also contain phytic acid, one of many anti-nutrients it's wise to

avoid at all costs. And all of the purported " health benefits " of these products

are simply untrue:

Soy isoflavones don't prevent various forms of cancer (prostate, breast or

uterine).

Neither soy protein nor soy isoflavones are useful in limiting

menopause-related symptoms.

The jury remains out on any soy-related benefits in treating osteoporosis.
