Soy - Health Food or Not?!

[philacoudre]

Since I tried soy beverages a decade ago,I won't return 2 milk cuz it tastes foul and I get the runs if i drink more than a ¼ cup.But it's about it for me as 2 eating soy. I don't eat much processed crap anyway.Yet,I wasn't worried of the various form it could hide itself in my food.Now I'm worried about my jewels and the thyroid thing, it's like I got hit in d nutz and throat at the same time!Man, I'm stunned!

[healthyvegan]

interesting stuff in there - thanks for sharing! I totally agree with you - a bit of fermented soy is ok, but people (especially vegans & vegetarians) tend to eat WAY too much...

[thedragon44]

yes Don't like soy but its hard to avoid cuz almost and some product today had a soy ingredient to it like some powdered milk some whey and food like noodles etc so im careful it has estrogenic effect so thats bad I'm building my body and i want to maintain my testo is its hard I think d best way to do is go organic and natural foods like sweet potatoes etc organic meat freshly make milk

[aphex4000]

Thank you!

[SwEeTExP0SuRe]

I cant find a loaf of bread or a salad dressing or anything hardly without Soy, Soy blocks idodine from the thyroid and most people get thyroid disease by the time they are 30, this list goes on and on , on dangerous effects of soy. great video :)

COOL VID BRO.......

[fentutal]

Where did you study science, nutrition, medicine? I thought so:)

[ptung187]

how do you explain asian civilizations that been eating tofu for thousands of years? is their whole culture eating something this unhealthy?

[Madmaximillion57]

THANKYOU! For once someone who says soy can be bad or good depending on what kind of soy you eat. Just like ANY foods, no matter how healthy they are you can only take so much before its unhealthy amount in your body.

[jk47hm4]

Your video was really helpfull, thankyou. My hair has been falling out , no more soy for me.

[SlateSteel]

soy is not a super food but to totally say that soy should not be consumed at all is a little much. if you look at a lot of cruciferous vegetables they contain a lot of the same inhibitors that soy does, but guess what, heat destroys enzymes! I would say that all soy products are cooked, the only problem is that people try to replace meat/dairy/eggs with soy in every meal. Lots of asian cultures eat tofu and drink soy milk but are amongst the healthiest people.

[Amoney100]

The only soy i eat is that in Contained in Ezinkel Bread. Is that ok? The type of soy is organic sprouted soy

[whiteraider]

soy is fucking poison, its scientifically proven that it shrinks your dick, look it up

[salvatp]

soy is much better alternative than most other sources of protein. I wouldn't be surprised if these studies & videos are funded by industrial meat producers. Forget animal studies there's human societies that consume tons of soy products are the diseases he mentioned more prevalent there?

[roxianealexander]

wouldn't it be interesting to see equally indepth studies done on factory farmed animals regularly injected w hormones, steroids, antibiotics--not to mention the natural elevation of stress hormones before being murdered? Why is the entire east Asian world consuming tempeh and experiencing lower breast cancer rates than us???? studies need to be done on humans to have an accurate assessment--not animals...i do agree about the chemically produced packaged soy available here--it's tainted

[aroogooy123]

you're hot. I'm a dude btw. Yeah. I said it.

[8001993]

well im allergic to milk so soymilk and soy products is the only kind of "milk" i can eat. is that bad? should i be concernd?

[oculusinfj]

you don't need to drink milk.

[8001993]

well im allergic to milk so soymilk and soy products is the only kind of "milk" i can eat. is that bad? should i be concernd?

[StatenJM]

The only thing I can say in defense of Soy is the accuracy of the studies done. Some will say that the their is either not enough studies or the studies that have been done are not entirely accurate. I would say just stay away from foods of controversy, but if you do that I think that eliminates everything from a diet.

[StatenJM]

Sounds like Soy is a funny food has several good things it can do for you, and a lot of bad things it can do.

[licasixpack]

I'm bodybuilding and for 1year do my 1 liter of soy milk a day.10years strait lol

I fist on dairy products too ones every 2-3 monthsfor a week strait.

No Luck at All my friend  But my main food daily 1grapefruit,3aples 2x200gr.of wheat cereal with 1liter of SOY MILK and a good turkey breast dinner .

[licasixpack]

How can U explain.

[JFHEALTHYandFit]

1 liter of what? soy milk? if so, yes, i can explain... its a 3 letter word - starts with a G and ends with a D ... or you can say luck, or coincidence (but i prefer the first one) :)

[sulivel]

who do we really believe? well, I had a summer where I had drank so much soy milk my nails were stronger then ever, then I bumped into Doctor Mercola's advice about the negative of soy milk, I just don't know...

[zuiprax]

Hey, great vids.

What do you think of whole soy beans?

(soaked and/or sprouted)

[lionhasalreadybe]

My feces are more healthy for you than any soy. Tell you what!

[mrmacsam]

how about stay away from GMO soy, canola, corn, and good old USA milk check it out in the docu"the world according to monsanto"

if your eating or drink any of the four items above please research dont take my word for it

get out of the propaganda

[mrssamsherpa]

Where did you get your info? I would like to personally research the benefits/ detriments of soy as well.

[missekat0210]

I drink soy milk with vanilla flavor once in a while... do u think is harmful? it is not everyday, but maybe two glasses per week.... what do u think? thanks

[jabrick17]

too much of anything is dangerous! stick to that rule!

[bigsmatchy]

thats a stupid rule... how much is too much? Is a glass a day bad or a glass a week bad? 2 glasses a day bad? How much? Maybe a teaspoon a day is too much? How much? Of course 100 gallons a day is bad because your stomach will explode. dahh

[iamadumpling]

you can get almond milk that is vanilla flavored its really really good, they also have chocolate flavor :)

[wildcatjvs]

Wow! You're awesome. I eat all organic, non-dairy, non gluten etc. I haven't dated for years because I never thought I would find a mate that had simular beliefs.  You are giving me hope to believe that dating is possible again, and that there are guys out there that are into being health conscious. By the way, thanks for the info on the soy stuff! Thanx -jv =)

[PolarOle]

Almond milk, coconut milk! No SOY! NO TOFU!

[tirsden]

Being as soy sauce is fermented, it's a possible migraine trigger. I'm still using it at times but I think I may end up just throwing it out. Sadly I have tons of food allergies, have already thrown out gluten and dairy... I think a bunch of my GF mixes/products/pastas have soy... but corn spaghetti doesn't. 8D

I learned to watch ingredient labels like a hawk years ago, and this soy info is relatively new to me... time to go look through my cupboards again and see what I've been missing. x__x

[REBJHotaling]

I ate tofu but had a severe allergic reaction to soy milk that put me in the hospital. It spurred me to do research. Soy is becoming one of our largest crops & it's now everywhere. It's about making money now so videos like yours help us to make our own decisions based on fact not marketing gimmicks. Do you know anything about flax seeds? I've heard they have phytic acid in them too. I've been eating FS for over a year & would hate to learn I'm hurting myself in an attempt to be healthy.

[jhillst]

Is it possible to make soymilk or tofu from fermented soybeans? If so, then why isn't it?

[sushicatny]

you know i have started eatting a lot of soy products and i have started feeling depressed, and the only thing i have done differently is the soy.

[alexjiayou]

This is an important video for everyone to see, I drink soya milk everyday however I am feeling weak, I feel I am eating healthy enough to feel strong, however its not working, Of Soy I only consume Soya milk because I heard taking too much soy causes Infertility in men, do the fermented Soya products not cause Infertility? My Soya Milk is made from Non G-M beans. Is it ok to drink? Is there a way of making Soya milk that is healthy not harmful so I can phone the Soya milk company I buy from?

[atripa645]

Try almond milk

[HomesteadProvocateur]

I love celestial seasonings herbal teas, and I looked at the ingredients, SOY LECITHIN is one of the products in this tea!! I'm kinda upset about it, because it is just going into things you wouldn't even consider! Needless to say, I realized that after I bought several packages of tea.. I might try to exchange them.. I agree about the dangers of soy, people should really do their due diligence.. Thanks for the video.

[EasyHardLivin]

I always pondered why omega's are in groups of 3. omega 3, 6, 9. Why not omega 2? 4? 5? lol?

[lokadin]

it's due to the chemical composition, and the amount of CH groupings in the fat

[Iheartresveratrol]

...on the okinawan people, they have a high level of soy consumption in their diet with some of lowest rates of morbidity and mortality in the world, makes one think if soy is so bad why are these people so healthy?

[JFHEALTHYandFit]

Thanks for the support :)

I would love to sit and talk about ALLLLL the different stuff about soy, but due to people attention span, and the max length of these youtube clips I kinda gotta just make it quick, simple, and too the point. But maybe when I make the video about soy infant formula I'll through in some of your suggestions (and partly, I figure that if anyone cares that much they'd look it up)

My main goal with all this is to get people interested in their own health!

[EasyHardLivin]

Where did you get your sources on this one from? According to my research, okinawan's consume 6 % of soy and legumes. Furthermore, if they are consuming a lot of soy, which according to my findings they are NOT, then they must be using un fermented soy.

[Iheartresveratrol]

Jeff,

I am glad to see people caring about being healthy and wanting to help other, so I only want to support your efforts.

Couple of things, if you are supporting fermented soy products as being ok to consume, explain what the difference is between those and the ones you do not support, how does fermenting a soybean correct the laundry list of problems you state with most soy products?

Also, with regards to soy consumption, you might want to look at the epidemiological studies....

[JFHEALTHYandFit]

the reason the Okinawa people live long healthy lives is because they have been eating the same way for MANYYYY generations. bring them out of their town and to the United States and you'd see they start getting all the same health problems as nearly everyone that lives here...

they're also NOT consuming soy milk, yogurt, ice cream, tofu... they are consuming it in forms of miso, natto and tempeh.

[Iheartresveratrol]

Jeff,

Sorry but I just can't take your word for it with regards to soy consumption by the Okinawan people, I read all the research I have ever come across on their dietary choices and never have I seen it reported that they limit their soy consumption to only those forms which have been fermented. Please if you have research to support such a notion people let me know. Here is just one example of what I am talking about....

[OMGLOLproductions]

Iheartresveratol: I've heard that on average Okinawan soy consumption is less than 100g per day, and considering how they eat, it would probably be from real, whole soy not like soy chips, soy protein, soy burgers, soy milk, etc.

[eatenbytheworms]

Best video I've seen on the dangers of soy! Good stuff Jay! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[eatenbytheworms]

I meant to say Jeff, but Jay came out instead. :)

[sixdumboutlaws]

great video!

[RadicalRickRude]

Great videos you're posting dude, this is exactly what the world need to hear... the truth. What training/certifications have you completed and what would you recommend to someone keen to learn and teach this awesome stuff? Rick

[dynamicwellness33]

Holistic lifestyle Certification (HLC) this is a great course that teaches you all about these topics. The course is put on by the Chek institute, if you do a search you should be able to find info on it.

[JFHEALTHYandFit]

absolutely BEST class I've taken so far!

[dynamicwellness33]

nice job with the videos, keep up the good work

[JFHEALTHYandFit]

meat, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruit, eggs, quinoa.

each of these things has many different options to them as well, I mean think about how many different fruits and vegetables there are, and all the different types of meat, seeds, nuts...

[JGSk8board]

so what can you eat lol

[boraken]

he eats real food
