Dangers of Soy

        I experienced going a whole year without having a menstruation…This all happened in conjunction with a high soy diet. I went on a soy craze with tofu, soy beans, soy protein, soy cheese, soy yogurt and soy milk which were my staples. As I ate soy every day I wondered why I kept gaining weight and on top of that never had my monthly periods.

It was such a strange experience to me because what I learned was that soy is a miracle food and it is so healthy! What I didn’t  know was that soy consumption is unhealthy and rather dangerous.

“Infants exclusively fed soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent of at least four birth control pills per day….Soy infant feeding — which floods the bloodstream with female hormones that inhibit testosterone — cannot be ignored as a possible cause of disrupted development patterns in boys, including learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder.”(mercola)

“Myth: Asians consume large amounts of soy foods.

Truth: Average consumption of soy foods in Japan and China is 10 grams (about 2 teaspoons) per day. Asians consume soy foods in small amounts as a condiment, and not as a replacement for animal foods.” (Dr. mercola)
