i found some interesting information on

soy i’d like to share with you today

because when you do a search on soy

you’re going to find all sorts of

wonderful positive things about it it’s

very difficult to find anything negative

on soy but there is a lot of negative

about soy and so there is conflicting

information out there now when you have

two facts that appear to oppose each

other creating this conflicting

information well you can’t have that

happen one of the facts is not a fact

and so what i want to do is i want to

give you the other side of soy so you

could just make a better decision on if

you want to consume soy anymore but the

reason i’m talking about this is because

soy is in 60 of our foods so it is just

widespread all over the place

and the soy eaten in asia is very

different than the soy eaten in other

parts of the world like america i don’t

think asians consume a lot of soy

protein isolates or a lot of soy oil or

vegetable textured protein

or even consume the amount of soy milk

that americans drink they typically tend

to eat more fermented soy but i found an

interesting paper on soy that you really

need to know about i put the link down

below

but i’m just going to summarize it okay

first of all you may already know that

most of the soy is gml which means it

has traces of glycophosphate which is an

herbicide and a lot of the soy out there

is processed with a solvent called

hexane

and hexane is not

a

healthy thing it’s a very toxic

solvent also soy is very high in omega-6

it’s very inflammatory

in 25 trials involving soy for

menopausal women with hot flashes it was

demonstrated that there was no

improvement in hot flashes yet how many

millions of women are taking soy for hot

flashes and the other thing that’s

interesting about soy

is that out of all the soy produced

85 of it is split between

soy milk

and oil soy oil and out of the 80

percent that is soy meal

98 of soy milk is

used for animal feeds okay

cattle pigs and definitely

chickens

which you

eat and there’s not a lot of safety

studies and the type of soy milk that

they’re getting is not the

fermented type soy

that

asians consume it is usually the

byproducts of soy when they’re making

soy oil and then we have two percent

goes to humans and out of the 20 of this

85 percent okay the oil version

we have 95

sold to humans and 5

used in industrial type things so it’s

in our dressings it’s in our all the

processed foods if you go to any fast

food restaurant they’re typically going

to use soy oil to fry your food in so we

have a very refined processed

rancid

highly omega-6 inflammatory oil

which has some slight minor

complications like disrupting your

intestinal border talking about all the

little villi that are supposed to absorb

nutrients there’s a report that shows

that it creates atrophy of those little

villi

and then there’s a series of compounds

in soy okay

one compound in soy shows a lot of

conflicting information and some studies

it will show that it will decrease the

risk of cancer in other studies it shows

no change yet in other studies it shows

that it increases the risk of getting

cancer

and

increasing the tumor size

which would make sense because it’s very

estrogenic and the same compound shows

hepatotoxicity that’s toxicity to your

liver

anti-thyroid activity okay so it shows

the effect of blocking the conversion of

t4 to t3 the active form of thyroid

hormone it even shows that it can block

iodine

there’s reproductive toxicity there’s

endocrine disruptions so it messes with

your hormones

infertility allergies

nephrotoxicity that’s toxicity to your

kidneys

and even pancreatic hypertrophy where

your pancreas is enlarging so you can

see it creates a lot of problems but why

is soy so prevalent in our foods well

this is my opinion

soy is one of the foods that they

subsidize okay so the government will

actually pay farmers to

grow that product

and you also have corn wheat and many

other products

but soy as being a subsidized product is

at the top of the list so the very

reason why we started subsidizing crops

is to help farmers during times of need

but now it’s used as a regular thing for

farmers did you realize that 85 of

subsidized products

go to 50

multi-billionaires

just 50 ceos so

us as taxpayers

fund the government which then pays

these farmers

to grow this food

that we really shouldn’t be eating

so obviously if you had a business that

you could get the government to pay you

for the raw material that then you can

sell and make a profit um that would be

a very profitable type venture so i

think it’s very obvious to you why

there’s a huge push to get people to

consume some of these products that are

subsidized like corn products soy

products grains

and really turn these products into a

healthy thing to consume so there are

some things you can do about this as a

consumer okay

because if people buy these products

less then the market shifts to other

products

so number one you want to be highly

selective of what you order at a

restaurant okay

don’t order the fried foods don’t order

foods with soy

but start asking restaurants what do you

use as your cooking oils okay and ask

them do you have other oils that are not

corn

canola

soy

cottonseed oil and start suggesting that

they use olive oil coconut oil things

like that all right number two put more

attention on reading labels and just

don’t buy any products that have soy

ingredients

and number three this is one of those

really obvious things that might sound

really simple

but start eating at home because you’d

be surprised

how many people have digestive problems

and bloating

and they’re just routinely going out to

dinner and they don’t realize that the

food that is served in restaurants are

very high on these omega-6 fatty acids

and it’s really hard to control your

food so just eating at home could be a

therapy for your digestive system and

number four you want to balance out

these these fatty acids start eating

more omega-3 fats versus the omega-6 now

in a positive note if you want to know

the best foods to eat
