Guest guest Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Not to mention that processed, non-fermented soy (soy milk, protein powder etc, as opposed to edamame, soy sauce, miso, tofu, and tempeh) is a concentrated source of plant estrogens. This can cause menstrual disturbances in women, and hormonal disturbances in men (which you can PubMed - I think the most widely cited study is this one ). Would not surprise me a bit if processed soy consumption contributed to gynecomastia due to its estrogenic effects.> > > >> > > > > Does anyone mind sharing what they are eating for an average> > > > > breakfast, lunch and dinner on DASH?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soybean Phytic acid Main article: Phytic acid Soybeans contain a high level of phytic acid, which has many effects including acting as an antioxidant and a chelating agent. The beneficial claims for phytic acid include reducing cancer, minimizing diabetes, and reducing inflammation. However, phytic acid is also criticized for reducing vital minerals due to its chelating effect, especially for diets already low in minerals. > > Great!
