Is Soy good for you? Truth about soy

[RE4L72]

soy is no good and is really bad for males.

[MrJay429]

Use your own intelligence people, go to Far East and ask the elderly there who have been using Soya for generation. Westerners no nothing about food, except Fast foods. Western bodies are accustomed to unhealthy foods. If you give a old Chinese lady a burger and she ate it, her body would reject it and she'd throw up immediately. It took the McDonald documentary guy about a month of McDonald's diet before his body started rejecting it.

Bottom line, you should listen to what your OWN body says.

@MrJay429 i applaude you sir for being one of the 4 percent of population with a brain and an identity :)

[rabiesman888]

what about organic soymilk?

[sonofdracula]

sorry but your the one whos brainwashed .i dont live in a bubble. im not looking to keep arguing this. believe what you want. but i think that these experts are distorting the truth. like i said ive eaten soy for nearly ten years so how come im not ill if your such an expert ?i used to believe this crap but no longer im vegeterian and never going back but thanks for the info ill go with my own experience.

[sonofdracula]

what bull, soy is good i eat it every day and i have been vegetarian for nearly ten years.best thing i ever did . since i have become a vegetarian i have had no ill effects and i dont get sick like i used to. when i ate meat i would always get a flu or cold annualy ,now thats stopped. its all lies being spread by the meat dairy industries of the west and ignorant people. soy and vegeterianism are healthy.

[ccciabarra]

@sonofdracula I hate to burst your bubble about soy but it really is not the best thing for you. Just look at all the evidence, look who owns most of the soy :) Dairy industry

[ccciabarra]

@ccciabarra check out the link undernealth the video about a SOY ALERT!

[DMagers]

If soy and soy products are so toxic, how do the millions of Chinese and Japanese folks survive?

[ckad79]

I barely drink milk, so when I switched to soy here lately, I am getting about as much soy as I got milk --- hardly any. I do believe soy is better than milk. I see less calories, yet the same calcium. I have read that it lacks estrogen, but now they have soy with omege-3 DHA. So much for that. It's clearly much healthier than most milk (minus maybe organic milk).

[creamnice]

soy is acidic and a hybrid food. y eat it???

[rawstrength]

Soy even in small amounts can be quite harmful.  The best milk is whole raw milk from grassfed animals that aren't treated with pesticides, antibiotics etc. Goat's milk is easier to digest than cow's milk but as long as the milk is raw and grassed it is great. If you don't want to do milk from an animal then milks made at home from nuts like almonds and cashews are a second best option. Don't eat the soy!!!

[chiyerano]

I drink/consume soy milk in moderation.

[kirrabeachbum]

Fermenting soy doesn't lose the isoflavones. And phytic acid isn't unique to soy -- heard of barley and wheat? I think the big thing about soy is that it's the most goitrogenic food out there.

[Beadbud5000]

He skipped a lot of points. It is an alternative to dairy milk particularly if you are lactose intolerant or jest don't like milk. For protein, it is not as good as grain/legume combinations but better than meat.

Anymore, everything is process in some form. I felt like when those so-called scientist try debunking global warming. It is all multi-factorial! Singular answers DON'T exist.

[spalderz]

Looking at all the food that I have in my house, it seems like 90% of them have been 'revealed' as poisonous and harmful, even the organic ones.

I'm pretty sure if I switch to diet that are considered healthy(oat, banana, rice etc), there must be some research within several years that 'prove' that all the food in my diet are unhealthy so I should stop eating them.

[aruraeclipse]

If you can spalderz, I would try to grow your own garden! It is very important to try and get your own food, buy an organic certified organic tomato, when you cut into it or bite into it harvest the seeds and save them! n_-

[mitchizhere]

People who go to second cup and drink SOY MILK STOP IT ALREADY!!!!

[ashantilongislant]

soy has been around forever, why are people degrading Gods natural food??

This is rediculous.

everyfood is been degraded.why has man become so ungreatful to the very food that kept humanity alive since the begining??

this has to stop. there is nothing wrong with soy. we should stop eating amimals.Thats what killing us.

[JackNeedles]

He is talking about processed soy. There is nothing really wrong with organic fermented soy, like the Asians traditionally eat. Soy that is not fermented can be unhealthy. Hemp is much better than processed soy.

[mas0nrail]

Ohhhh. "soybeans are a no-no." Now I know why soybeans are a "no-no." Thanks Doc, I'll be sure to inform my close friends, family and general public. Well said.

[danakscully64]

Facts are: There is no PROOF that soy is bad for you. Chinese people have been eating it for years and they have MUCH less health problems than Americans. There is no proof that soy leaches nutrients. Cow's milk is SO processed and full of junk (hormones, antibiotics, etc).

RAW MILK IS DANGEROUS FOR KIDS. Dude, don't listen to this guy.

And his view on what it does to kids, BULLSHIT. Penn & Teller would have fun with this guy!

[omoshiroii]

Centuries ago Chinese planted soy around their fields to regulate soil fertility and make soy sauce(fermented) and tofu but not the milk. Tofu has many good nutrients. During recent years, people are lead to consume too much soy, way more than the amount an average chinese does. And the processes nowadays have turned soy products more into toxic than health food. Like soymilk is processed in aluminum tanks and the genetically engineered soy crops and pesticide sprays and artfcl. preservatives.

[danakscully64]

I've heard that chinese people actually consume A LOT of soy and have less problems. I think all processed foods aren't the best, which includes faux meats and soy milk, but I KNOW that they're better than animal meats and animal milk. I think humans are designed to eat PURE foods: Grains, fruits, veggies, nuts, etc. People need to calm down on artificial and processed stuff.

[omoshiroii]

Unfortunately, most of the cows milk out there have been processed and genetically modified (rBGH growth hormone and confined). They are absolutely bad for you. Pasture-fed certified organic raw milk is the authenthic milk the same as human has been drinking for thousands of years. Breast milk is best for infant, raw milk im not sure. But it is a fantastic food. For those who cant tolerate cowmilk, try raw.If still allergic, switch to goat or sheep which is the best milk.

[danakscully64]

Cow's milk is for... baby cows. We have no reason to be drinking milk from an animal anyway, we're adults, not babies :p

[wvoutlaw2002]

Oh no, you just advocated raw milk. That means you're a shill for the dairy industry.

Just kidding. Even a blind man could see that the dairy industry is the biggest opponent of raw milk.

[omoshiroii]

It is best to stick with fermented soy like natto tempe miso soy sauce. Where tofu, soymilk, soy meat are not preferable. Especially soy infant formula which is a deadly toxin, pls dont feed ur kids before u consult these sources:

mercoladotcom, westonapricedotorg

Many studies show harmful chemicals in soybeans.

For now its better to eat moderately and selectively (choose organic, less processed n less additives)

[darthchaosofrspw]

Unfortunately, most of the soy supply comes from Monsanto's Roundup Ready GMO soybeans. As long as most of the soy supply comes from Monsanto, soy will be bad for you. Wise up and stop shilling for Monsanto.

[danakscully64]

*yawn* Seriously, I've read SO many negative studies that are not cut as dry as they seem. Studies show that soy helps prevent dementia and other illnesses. I just think it's BS that so many people jump on this band wagon, calling soy bad, then drink soda, eat meat, eat sugar, processed foods, and other stuff like that. Idiots.

[wvoutlaw2002]

Not everybody who criticizes soy is a shill for the meat industry or an evil meat eater. Not all vegetarians eat soy. You may as well declare all organic foods advocates to be shills for the meat industry. You soy propagandists are making generalizations just like Rush Limbaugh when he says "You're with al-Qaeda if you're against the war". You may as well say I'm with al-Qaeda because I'm against Monsanto.

[danakscully64]

I didn't say that everyone is an evil meat eater. I just think people are quick to point fingers when they don't know facts. Then, going off assumptions and BS, they criticise and go on doing what they know for a fact is bad for them. "Soy is bad, we shouldn't eat it" while drinking a soda. Or "Can you believe soy makes your heart explode?" while eating a hamburger with extra cheese and mayo.

[wvoutlaw2002]

There you go again making generalizations. Not everybody who speaks against soy goes out and "drinks soda" and "eats a hamburger with extra cheese and mayo". You're just a deluded individual who's happy with your fake carnivore/herbivore paradigm and who attacks anybody who thinks outside the box. You're accomplishing nothing but giving vegetarians/vegans a bad name.

[danakscully64]

Okay, in my experience, 10 out of 10 people who I've heard crap from about soy eat meat, drink soda, eat a lot of sugar, and don't/rarely exercise. Every single person and I've talked to HUNDREDS of people about it. Yes, hundreds. And what have you accomplished? I'm saying that almost every single person who knocks soy knows NOTHING about it. And why did you bring vegetarianism into the picture? And I DIDN'T say everyone, so good job not reading properly. "So many people" is not = to everyone

[montsyblackmaddona]

I donot eat soy,nor do I eat meat,sugar or drink soda.

I am a 85% raw 15% cooked vegan.

I never drink soy or eat it.

There is plenty of variety out there to eat without ever touching soy,bread,or sugar.

[danakscully64]

:) Okay, my stats have changed, 99 out of every 100 people LOL

That's so awesome. I know there is plenty of variety, I'm curious as to what your meals are like.

[ashantilongislant]

i agree with you danakscully64.

im glad im not the only one who feels this way.

every year they pick a food to degrade and they wont stop until they fing something else to yap about.

[danakscully64]

Thanks :) I would have gone into more details in my post with supporting information, but we're limited on space and I have no idea who is going to read it (after spending 20 minutes on it) :)

It's SO true. This year is soy, what next, bananas? :p

[BubbleTeaFob]

Haha, I'm drinking some soy milk right now. Oh by the way, please tell the shaolin monks that, because they've been living for thousands of years and still exists today and their only protein source is SOY. Their one of the most healthiest people right now, live longer than you white boy!

[millamaya]

ja,ja,ja so wrong!!!

[danakscully64]

Soy is HEALTHY... it's not a miracle food, but it is good for you. Ignore this guy, he's full of shit.

[darthchaosofrspw]

Wow. You're such a good debunker you should go debunk 9/11 on Screw Loose Change.

/sarc

[danakscully64]

It's called word limit. I'm not your google monkey, search yourself.

[annpetasupporter]

Why do ppl insist that you need to eat soy in order to vegetarian? There are plenty of other vegan sources of protein. And even so, it's UNFERMENTED soy that is bad for, and fermented soy is actually good for you. It's all the processing that makes it bad. American culture is obsessed with protein and yet americans consume on average %50 or more protein than they need which decreases your body's ability to absorb calcium, and this has been linked with osteoperosis.

[ChaserHUN]

This about estrogen is not real, I'm not eating soy because I wanna be raw vegan, but if its sprouted it can be eaten raw

[infiniteawesome]

the only exceptions to this are probably natto and soy sauce, since the fermentation process involved with the bacteria, natto bacillus, changes the properties of the soy bean into a more digestable and less dangerous form. eat natto with your rice, it is most certainly good for you. and I still think that small amounts of unprocessed soy are okay for you. really hemp is a better source of protein than soy for vegans/vegetarians.

[MaxwellHermosa]

Thank you, soy sucks! I'm trying to get a friend off it...

[MrDuffy81]

Good job. Show them the evidence.

From a religious perspective, coffee, soy , cola drinks, vinegar and many other foods are considered foods of the devil, their direct opposite would be holy water.
