Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Beware of The Toxicity of Soy Products Hundreds of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders, cognitive, immune system breakdown, and even heart disease and cancer. Contrary to popular belief that soy is a health food, evidence reveals that soy consumption has been linked to numerous disorders, including infertility, increased cancer and infantile leukemia, Type1 diabetes, and precocious puberty in children have been fed soy formula. Scientists have known for years that the isoflavones in soy products can depress thyroid function and cause goiters in otherwise healthy children and adults. A combined research team of Cornell University Medical College and Long Island Community Hospital medical experts have found that children who develop Type1 diabetes are twice as likely to have been fed soy formulas as those fed all other foods This confirms concerns based on animal studies raised in the 1980's and 1990s by Health Canada researcher Dr Fraser Scott and led to the American Academy of Pediatrics issuing their warning to pediatricians against any use of soy based formulas. more information on: http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/soy.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those studies refer to nontraditional uses of soybeans. The faux meats, TVP, extracted hormones, baby formulas etc. that are produced industrially. Traditionally prepared forms like tempeh and tofu are different. I wish devotees would be as concerned about the antibiotics, artificial hormones and accumulated pesticides in industrially produced cow milk.
