The Dangers of Soya

Dangers of Soy

Are you convinced yet about the dangers of soy? Many aren't. "Is soy bad for you? ...Really?" I hear the question so often I want to scream. After decades of hearing marketing spin about how soy is a wonder food, a protein-rich legume able to rescue us from our dependence on meat, I suppose it's...

Starting witha soy ‘milk’ for babies and soya pervading many foodstuffs is it any wonder so many humans don’t know what sex they are?

Should be compulsory reading for every teenager that are thinking about going Vegan or Veggie.
Perhaps the BBC might like to report on it as well!!! What makes me think they won't.

Someone should send it to Farming Today and The Food Programme. The NFU maybe.

Makes you wonder if it should be fed to stock in the volumes it is ?

Very interesting article, I didn't realize soy could be that bad. I wonder if that's why I didn't see much about soy as a substitute when I was researching diabetes diets. My research included a lot of sites that weren't the Official Diabetes Websites.

Her article does state that the ancient Chinese used it to feed cattle but matbe research should be done on how much is safe.

I would like to believe that the article is credible, but it needs to be reviewed by a group of scientists with various ologies and who have a sound understanding of their specialist subject.

Might it be part of the reason why so many young bulls turn out to be infertile and low libido?

Maybe useful in slowing down human population then?

I wonder if Clive is going to keep his Soya intake to once
a week for health and enviromental reasons like his
concerns about his red meat consumption!

 

[Muddyroads]

Been saying similar to this for ages. Does anyone know how credible the author is?
This doesn’t necessarily need to go onto farming programmes, but to mainstream ones. What’s the betting it gets used to persuade people not to eat meat that may have been fed soya though!

I read a very interesting study a few years ago about the incidence of asthma around a big port in Turkey where they off-loaded millions of tonnes of soya per year. If I can find it again I will post it. Basically the dust that arose from the handling of the product was causing asthma rates to rocket.

Do we need soya ?
We should be growing more proteins here.
Yes food will be dearer but is that a bad thing?

Just a little banter we had under 'vegan friendly Turkey'posts.

I don't go on the forum facebook page much but if this isn't on there can someone put it on so that we can share it?

Yes, if that blog is accurate it’s wants spreading far and wide.

Perhaps some farming organisation should get some independent testing and verification along with some peer reviews done to give it some weight.

If you press the three joined circles at the top of the post you should be able to either email it to yourself or send straight to Facebook.

I read a lot of homeopathy books when I first went Organic & basically if you want healthy stock feed them grass , feeding any cereals has a detrimental effect.
Cows on higher forage based systems live longer & healthier.
The same homeopathy books said human health sufferers to with higher cereal intake & studies show a increase in heart problems as cultures adopt vegetable oils for cooking! Not something Nestle & Unilever want you to know about.
