" hemaglutinin which promotes clumping of red blood cells. phytic acids blocks the uptake of essential minerals in the intestinal tract, including calcium, magnesium, iron and especially zinc. I have visited this site, and I do agree with a some part of information presented on that page. But I do not think that eating tofu or miso occasionaly is very bad. Not for everyone ! If we analyze any common food like wheat, strawberry, corn..., we can find chemicals that are really harmfull for some people. Those chemicals may harm some people, while other may not have any reaction on them. The best explanation is given by Dr, D'Adamo in his book Eat Right for Your Type. While soy may not be the perfect food for People with Blood Type O, Blood Type A still may benefit from it. And, certainly, tofu is far from being perfect protein. Even Miso, if not fermented for a long time, at least one and half year, best two, may be very bad food. I do not recommend to anyone to base it's diet on White miso (shiro miso, short time fermented miso). Any miso , if eaten every day for a very long time (many years) may cause a health problems. But still, for people who never ate miso, good old (2 years ) miso is a perfect food, even if eaten every day, but not longer than one year. So, if you are a person having cancer, and you are using miso less than one year, keep on doing it, but, never mix miso and milk products! Do not eat miso and milk products the same week ! And make pause after one year. Anti cancer efects of miso may be important for you! Especially if your blood type is A. And, certainly , do not count tofu as a important source of omega 3. It is easier to get it from the flax seed. No food is perfect ! And, check your blood type for any food you are eating. http://home.sol.no/~dusan/blood_type.html Dusan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 7, 1999 I've heard both good and bad about soy as well. One of the main reasons I tend to stay away from the mega soy protein drinks and other soy products is because it is the most genetically engineered crop. I think a " Pandora's box " has been opened on soy and the ramifications of messing around with it's DNA might not show up for a generation or two. I use Omega 3 oils from both Flax and Fish....just covering all the bases!

I know of one product called Halien 941 that is made in China, it tastes like 10 year old tennis shoes that have been stored in a wet box. It is one of the most potent healing ingredients for the rebuilding of the body from ravages of cancer and other diseases. It is quite expensive as well. Wholesales for $62.00 for 8 ounces.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 8, 1999 Most food is altered or tampered with. Especially meats, including fish. The industry not only feed animals toxins and chemicals, but they are (and have) genetically alter them to 'produce' more. Exaple. Mc's and the chickens they use for McNuggets. They genetically altered the chickens to 'produce' more meat. I was at a conference and heard Jim Mason, an ex-rancer and person in the agri-business, speak and say that now the egg industry is trying to have chickens 'produce' eggs that taste like butter is already in them. Now, the meat and dairy industry is trying to find a way to have animals born with out any limbs. DNA altering is definetly here and has been. I do realize the fruits and vegetables are altered too. I try to support the organic fruits and veg. sellers. " Pandora's box " has already been opened a long time ago, I believed it was when humans first looked at other creatures that have life and deceided that theirs was not important. I drink " mega " soy protein drinks, since I do weight lifting (not huge!!! just tone!!!) and eat all the different soy products on the market. I have had numerous doctors appointments over the last ten years and everytime I am in perfect health. *mind you I don't eat anything that comes from an animal. I know some people have a hard time digesting soy, do to their bodies. It is like an allergy. Not every body is capable of digesting the same food items. - k ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted February 15, 2000 Maybe they did worse on soy foods because soy is genetically modified (or genetically engineered) so, pretty basically it is mutant food and thus not fit for human (or any living being's) consumption. This is why soy is such a huge allergenic, people just seem to be " allergic " to things that are toxic to them. Your body is telling you " do not eat that again " , it is going to kill you " . Genetically altered soy is now in infant formula and genetically altered vegetables are in jarred baby food. I stay away from as many poisons as I can; tap water, which contains fluoride (rat poison), chlorine (destroys the immunity in the mouth, and destroys intestinal flora, etc... bye bye immune system) , genetically altered foods like potatoes, corn, soy and the entire enstein food group, inorganic dairy is filled with chemicals and drugs (bye bye nutrient absorbtion...hello disease), and on and on.... I've had CFIDS for four years and have found that it is imperative that I avoid as many toxic substances as possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted February 16, 2000 Which is why I only eat soyfoods that are from certified organic or transitional beans. And I would encourage everyone else who eats soy to do so as well. I'm going to have to do some serious research on this RBC clumping issue, since I get a large percentage of my protein from soy (I am an aspiring vegetarian for ethical and environmental reasons). It would be very difficult for me to have an appetizing and diverse protein intake without soy. I have not noticed any ill effects in particular associated with my intake of soy, but hey, I feel like hell and am going downhill so I need to check out all the possibilities. Darn.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 10, 2000 Dear Kristilee: Soy beans are seeds. Nature protects seeds from foraging animals by tying up protein and minerals and by making those seeds detrimental to the animals. Even cooking does not destroy the antiprotein and minerals components. But sprouting does and so does fermenting them. Tofu and soy milk are made from unfermented, unsprouted soy beans so they are indigestible and harmful. Once sprouted [soybeans smell terrible when sprouting] or fermented then all the nutrients in them are available. best wishes, Earl soy From: Kristilee Helmick <kristilee1@...> thanks for the info Earl. I will feel better about eating miso now! Like I said before I have heard so many conflicting opinions about soy and hypothyroidism. One doctor I respect very much said eat it as long as it is well-cooked, I've also heard the opinion that it is okay as long as you only eat it 1 or 2 times a week. I basically just try to avoid it entirely because nobody seems to agree on what kind/how much is okay to eat. However things like miso and soy sauce are hard for me to avoid because I've gotten used to using them a lot. >Dear Kristilee: >All unfermented soy products appear to be anti-thyroid organic or >commercial. >If they have been fermented like, tamari or miso, they are OK. >Tofu and soy milk are relatively indigestible as well as anti-thyroid. >Earl **************************************************************************** **** MotherWise - Natural, Earth-Friendly, and Alternative Products for Pregnancy, Birth, Baby, Breastfeeding, and Beyond!

Guest guest Report post Posted March 10, 2000 Earl, Thanks once again for the information! I think it is very interesting and I never knew that about seeds. Does that apply to all seeds?? For instance, I eat a lot of sesame seeds. Anyway I have never heard of anyone eating soybean sprouts. Is it something you would recommend? Most importantly I'd be interested to know whether soybean sprouts retain the amount of protein that soybeans have, or is the protein what gets broken up when they sprout? regards, Kristilee >Dear Kristilee: >Soy beans are seeds.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 12, 2000 Dear Kristilee: I would suspect that soy sprouts would have less protein but since they'd be digested, then there would be more. Sesame seeds, the same applies, but who sprouts sesame seeds? Tahini seems fairly digestible but soybeans are not.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 12, 2000 Dear Jeannie: If soy products are fermented they're OK. Braggs is not fermented. Tamari and miso are fermented and are quite digestible and useful to nutrition. Soy isoflavones are big on the current list, but they are still unfermented soy. My data does not support the use of soy isoflavones. Women in generaly do not need phytoestrogens they need thyroid restoration and natural progesterone. best wishes, Earl Re: soy From: joynrejoicing@... > thanks for the info Earl.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 12, 2000 Infant feeding Dear Sabra: TVP is highly processed soy + ??. My suggestion is to avoid it. Consider using quinoa, spelt, millet, hummus. After weaning, I suggest using blended fruit, vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, spirulina, chlorella, carrot juice, apple juice, grape juice, coconut milk [made from coconut cream, filtered water and a bit of honey and a bit of celtic salt], Remember breast milk is very low protein. cows milk, goats milk, meat, soy are all very high protein. Young children do not have fully developed digestive systems. Milk, meat, grains introduced too early [before about 18 months]can set up life long allergies.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 7, 2000 Yes, I have started making soy shakes, with today being my 2nd day. And I can tell you, my body is not right with it. Also, I have added nutritional yeast, so it could be the soy, the yeast, or both. Plus, I am using tofu and also soy protein powder. So it could be either or both. I do notice that the soy protein affects me more negatively than the tofu. And then I read that beef interferes with absorption of calcium? That is one good reason to have soy - protein and calcium. What is a person to do????? Pam and going crazy!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted June 18, 2000 Hi Cliff I am glad to hear that you are discontinuing the Soya. I think it is really sad that things have turned out this way. My sister-in-law who is also batleing cancer is going to look into this further. I will share with you what she finds. She has been a vegetarian and worked in a health food store in Quebec for years. and has been eating soya based products for years. Because it is so much an important part of her diet, this concerns her more then just a little bit. As for your Designer Whey protein without alarming you make sure the fats and sugars have been removed from that paticular protein. Some are some arn't. Again it is the fats and sugars that like to excel the growth of cancer. Not alll are created equal, this would definitly be a rule of thumb I would look out for. That is the main purpose of having people with cancer stay away from Dairy products. Soon we will have information about a study that was conducted by doctors in the USA about Immunocal and prostate cancer. This was a large human study that was recently completed and the results will be pesented to a group of oncologists at a large meeting they have sceduled. I wish I could tell you more. I have a gentlemen on it with prostate cancer. He recently went for a checkup and the doctor couldn't get over how good his white count is. His PSA is staying and remaining low. The gentlemen takes alot of good supplements along with the Immunocal daily. Perhaps sometime if you like I can hook you up by email with these folks and they can tell you what is happening in their lives. I actually have two gentlemen with prostate taking the Immunocal. and I am sure if you would like to speak to either they would love to share with you and have you do the same. Your choice. I wish you the best. Debbie Soy > Hi Debbie, > > Thank you for your advice. I have been using some Soy Protein.
