Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 HI Pearly thanks for the message on soy products there has been a lot of attention and informaitona nd misinformation about the comsumption of soy products. Pearly Lok wrote: Hi, Not sure if you guys are aware that soya beans is one of the most toxin food on earth. there are many natural foods that cotaine naturally occuring toxins this is the plant's natural way of protecting itself and reproducing itself if the foods are not prepared in a proper way then these toxins can affect us. The processing of these foods for commercial processes generally ignores these ways of inactivating these natural substances. For example using soy as infant formula or as a flour and extender in processed foods. These natural enzyme inhibitors are NOT inactivated in this form and that is where the damage occurs This is because 99% of soya beans are GMO. of course. If they are GMO that is another issue again. But that applied to ALL GMO "foods". Supposedly even the employees at Monsanto - the company involved with that have baaned GMO foods from their own cafeteria!! ;-) It is veyr very wise to avoid all GMO foods - this is a much bigger issue than is commonly realised. OTher common GMO foods are corn, cottonseed etc and the list is growing. We have to vote with our dollars and avoid them and not affect out bodies and DNA with them Soya bean has been genetically modified to be resistant to PESTICIDE. So when they grow soya beans (eg China which is one of the largest producer of this crop), they spray pesticide on the crop to get rid of the weeds which tends to strangle the plant and reduce the yeild. The weed dies, but the soya bean plants survive. Now just think about this, there is pesticide on the crop and the soil. The pesticide from the soil will also get absorbed into the plant. yes. Luckily there are still organically grown soy beans - there is always crosss contamination but it is still a better choice soy products that are naturally fermented such as miso, shoyu, tamari and tempeh have these natural toxins inactivated as was discovered by traditional cultures who safely ate these foods for many centuries - but in small amounts - not as a slab of tofu for example in a misguided attempt to get their daily protein etc. You eat the soya bean (now this will include all soya bean products). I would suspect even more of an issue is the issue of soy in other products - most people dont read labels Small amount daily will not kill you, but the toxin is then accumulated in your body, put a tremendous strain on your liver (one of its job is to get rid of toxin from your body). When you are young, your liver will function well, as you grown older, your liver is definitely overwork (remember lots of other food we eat have toxin as well eg preservative, colouring etc2). So why risk it, when toxin is not expel from your body it is stored in your fat. One of the causes for cancer is toxin in our body which comes from things like pesticide, inserticide, herbicide. So please think about this, and try to give your body less toxin, it does not need any of it. Any such toxin is aspartame which is found in all artificial sugar eg nutrisweet. aspartame is a terrible non food. IT is a strong neurotoxin and causes liver issues and more. It can turn into formaldahyde like substance sin the body (basically any DIET stuff eg lollies, drinks, process food) has aspartame, check the label for ingredients. there are far better natural alternatives - natural grain sweeteners, agave, stevia and xylitlol.
