Another Soy Story

 I am glad to see that more mainstream magazines are publishing the facts about soy.   The truth is out there, so there is no reason to be duped by the mega food industry.  Soy can be harmful to your health. Studies have shown that it inhibits the absorption of minerals and nutrients, and the estrogenic properties can wreak havoc with hormones. The only way to eat soy is fermented as in tempeh, tamari, and miso. Personally, I stopped drinking soy milk long ago because of the gas pains and bloating I experienced. Then I met a woman a couple of years ago, and she was telling me how she nearly died due to eating soy.  She was rushed to the emergency room in pain and discovered her pancreas had almost stopped working.  The doctor asked if she ate soy products.  She made a speedy recovery after eliminating soy from her diet.  In addition to the health problems, there are numerous environmental issues with the growing of soy, but that is another story.  A great book to read is The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan.  It is a relevant exploration of the food industry here in the US.
