hi guys dr. Berg here I want to talk about the problems with soy not only is

most the soy sold in America genetically modified that’s a whole different topic

but unless that soy is fermented it gives you a lot of problems okay so the

Japanese had this figured out long time ago they knew they had to ferment soy

into things like nato tempeh miso and tofu to be able to digest them because

if not it’s considered an anti nutrient which means it has certain enzyme

blockers that block the absorption of proteins yeah and it also has phytic

acid blocks minerals like calcium magnesium iron but especially zinc yeah

so what happens you might say well I don’t consume much soy but check this

out soy is hidden in so many foods it’s in pretty much all the oils like the

vegetable oils it’s in most those little bars that you get those protein bars

it’s soy protein isolates it’s in a lot of the different diet shakes that are

out there so you have to start reading labels it’s in a lot of the vegetarian

patties and meats and hotdogs and things like that so you want to avoid it why

because it creates a lot of problems not just with an estrogenic effect but an

anti nutrient effect and a GMO effect it has a lot of problems the problem that I

see right now is the infant formulas are mainly soy based it’s cheap but it’s

creating a situation for our babies so personally I would never in a million

years give an infant a soy based formula not not only do they going to develop

allergies to it it’s going to create a lot of nutritional deficiencies because

it’s not fermented now do I recommend consuming soy well some people if you

get organic certain fermented soy they can do some of that I don’t

come in a lot of it why I’ve seen people take too much soy and even men I had two

patients come in that started drinking so much soy milk it wasn’t even

fermented they started lactating yeah breast milk yeah lactating so it’s so

okay it’s okay to have some of it if it’s fermented but make sure if you do

it it has to be organic or non-gmo if it’s organic it’s not GMO if it’s not

organic it’s usually GMO okay so I just want to kind of cover some points about

soy I think too many people are just consuming way too much of the wrong type

of soy all right so I will see you in the next video
