Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Soy has a very strong pro-hormonal effect, especially when it becomes a major constituent of the weekly diet. More important still, do a google search for " Lectins + Soy " . The bottom line is, a varied dier is not just an indulgence, its quite a bit more important than a lot of veggies appreciate.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I use a lot of soy. Well, at least one serving per day of some sort. I am menopausal due to a complete hysterectomy, and the docs recommend that I eat a lot of soy to alleviate some of my menopausal symptoms. Well, I still eat it, but it has not helped one little bit. The black cohosh didn't cut it either.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 That sounds like typical anti-soy propaganda, probably perpetuated by the dairy industry. The lectins are usually destroyed via cooking or removed in soy protein isolates. Read this article for a second opinion about soy: http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/health-nutrition/soy-protein- benefits-use-2.htm I still think it's good to add some non-soy protein sources in your diet, if for no other reason than to avoid getting sick of soy products. I'm just saying be skeptical of the anti soy stuff. Meat and dairy industries have a lot to lose if more people become interested in the health benefits of soy products. Here is a good article about soy's effects or lack thereof on menopausal symptoms. webmd.com/content/article/64/72234.htm , " Chanda/Maria " <puterwitch@c...> wrote: > I use a lot of soy.
