Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 ummmmmm I am not likely to believe agribusiness propaganda. but I know some cultures like the Japanese use soy and are fine, but they also have a high iodine intake. Gracia Soy contains a number of toxins, as you can find out if you Google " Soy toxins " . Below your message is the first of many articles [about 706,000] that deal with soy toxins from Google. Among the toxins are protease inhibitors, phytic acid, soy lectins (or haemagglutins), nitrosamines, manganese concentrations and the mysterious soyatoxin. Nitrosamines are not naturally occurring in soybeans but form during the processing of products such as isolated soy protein (ISP). You don't think soy contains toxins because agribusiness has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to make you think exactly that. I suggest a bit of research outside of agribusiness propaganda.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I would respectfully disagree Gracia, The Japanese do not drink Soy 'milk' and as they eat a less refined diet, it is not found in most of their foods. They eat small amounts of tofu (yuck!) but most of their soy products are fermented which renders them less harmful. > > > ummmmmm I am not likely to believe agribusiness propaganda. > but I know some cultures like the Japanese use soy and are fine, but they also have a high iodine intake. > Gracia > > Soy contains a number of toxins, as you can find out if you Google " Soy > toxins " .

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Actually, you apparently do. If a lie is told often enough it becomes the [perceived] truth. That is why advertising works; and is based upon the way our minds work. The " conventional wisdom " of a culture can be [and often is] manipulated. Our acceptance of soy is one of the great advertising success stories of all time [from the viewpoint of agribusiness]. Soy has successfully been changed from a material that no intelligent and knowledgable person would ingest [given a choice] into one that is actually considered a health food by [probably] millions. That's one of the major reasons I don't watch tv.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 How true ! Although I do watch tv, I cringe at the soy milk commercials -- and Silk Soy Milk is sponsoring Farm Aid this year - yuck!!! I bet in the not so distant future the truth will come out about soy, and what garbage people are ingesting. I try to inform all that I can to stay away from it. There's an excellent book by Kaala s and I have corresponded with her she is so helpful! http://www.wholesoystory.com/About_the_Whole_Soy_Story.html take care, Sue in NH > > Soy contains a number of toxins, as you can find out if you Google " Soy > toxins " .
