It worries me to see my friends consuming soy in levels that science has so clearly determined to be pernicious in nature. Many of these same friends tend to propagate common myths about soy, including that it is a good source of protein, that it prevents osteoporosis, and that Asian cultures consume it in large amounts and achieve health benefits as a result.
Soy is not a health food.
Actually, it contains dangerous toxins and anti-nutrients that have severe and harmful effects on the body.
Soy is the major ingredient in many vegan meat substitutes such as tofu, and its products are also present in a plethora of common foods including cereal, chocolate, peanut butter, and even some nutritional supplements—just to mention a few.
The chemical makeup of soy actually blocks the absorption of vital minerals and disrupts hormone function in the human body...
Soy has been promoted as a healthfood in the West, very similar to margarine. Both are less healthy than other foods they are supposed to replace, but seemingly selling them as food has been good business for the agro/chem giants.
