Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 Raw soy beans have this strange name like " etimome " , well, I'm sure that is wrong, but anyway, they sort of look like peas in the pod. What I have read about soy is, it is a highly processed, really NOT healthy food. It also raises estrogen levels in women, which is not good, at least pre-menopause. I have not heard about soy being a good source of B-12.

I also have not heard of any vitamin B12 in soy. In fact, I've read that B12 can only be found in animal derived products. If you are worried and vegan, go with supplements.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 I have heard that soy can suppress the thyroid. I am not sure if this is true or not, but wanted to mention it. Our bodies can produce B12 in the intestines, if healthy and we don't need very much B12.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Hello! I'm new to the group, and new to rawfoods. I am following Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live program, which concentrates on raw foods, especially leafy greens. I wanted to chime in on B-12 from soy. My understanding is that the only soy products that would be sources of B-12 would be fortified soy products like soy milk. I'm looking forward to learning from this group. I just attended a potluck held at a woman's house who teaches the Hallelujah Diet (I think it's a raw foods diet, somehow biblical based?) and was very happy to get good recipes to try.
