Posted by Astra2012 The soy industry would have you believe that Asians eat lots of soy. Since Asians suffer less chronic illness than most Western people, then soy must be a healthy food. How much soy do Asians actually eat? One study found that Chinese ate approximately 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons of soy a day. Soy is not eaten in large amounts in Asian countries; rather, it is used as a condiment. What type of soy do we eat in the United States? Infants are exposed to soy formula, and adults ingest soy milk. Beyond those, other soy items also abound: soy milk, soy hot dogs, soy meats, soy energy bars, as well as many other food sources. Most of these “Western” food sources contain soyprotein isolate, which is a highly processed, devitalized, and toxic food source that needs to be avoided. In 1997, researchers reported that infants fed a soy formula ingested a whopping 28 to 47 milligrams (mg) of isoflavones — estrogen-like compounds found in soy. The author of this study concluded, “The daily exposure of infants to isoflavones in soy infant formulas is six- to elevenfold higher on a body-weight basis than the dose that has hormonal effects in adults consuming soy foods. If you look at just about any food lable it will have some type of soy in it I have even seen it on the lable for tea. |
