Dear Friends,
My friend Laura has been doing some research for a friend who is about 43, with 3 boys, 8, 10,12 in age. She has been having issues with acute pancreatitis and is one
step away from pancreatic cancer. Her dad is a midwest farmer who has grown
only GMO corn and GMO soy on his fields. I am betting that they are all Monsanto products. In addition the crops are heavily sprayed with horrendous pesticides.
Anyway,
I have been doing some research that I can send her about the dangers
of soy and have found some interesting articles. I could not remember
the name of the inhibitor, but it is called trypsin. Non GMO soy does
not seem to cause as much harm. Surprised?
Truth: Soy
foods contain trypsin inhibitors that inhibit protein digestion and
affect pancreatic function. In test animals, diets high in trypsin
inhibitors led to stunted growth and pancreatic disorders. Soy foods
increase the body's requirement for vitamin D, needed for strong bones
and normal growth. Phytic acid in soy foods results in reduced
bioavailabilty of iron and zinc which are required for the health and
development of the brain and nervous system. Soy also lacks cholesterol,
likewise essential for the development of the brain and nervous system.
Megadoses of phytoestrogens in soy formula have been implicated in the
current trend toward increasingly premature sexual development in girls
and delayed or retarded sexual development in boys.
Myth: Soy estrogens (isoflavones) are good for you.
Truth: Soy
isoflavones are phyto-endocrine disrupters. At dietary levels, they can
prevent ovulation and stimulate the growth of cancer cells. Eating as
little as 30 grams (about 4 tablespoons) of soy per day can result in
hypothyroidism with symptoms of lethargy, constipation, weight gain and
fatigue.
Also, Asians do consume soy, but not as meals, but rather condiments.
Genetic Modification
In 2007, the GMO Compass reported that soy lecithin, like many food products
in
American supermarkets, contained genetically modified soy. Genetically
modified, or GM, foods are biotechnically changed to increase yields and
resistance to herbicides and insects. Some health-food advocates and
scientists have concerns with the potential long-term impact from eating
genetically modified food. For example, a study published in the
"Journal of Applied Toxicology" discovered that mice fed GM soybean
developed a decrease in pancreatic function. Although the nutrition of
the soy was not altered, the study showed that as few as five days of
feeding GM food caused pancreatic cellular changes, which were reversed
after 30 days of non-GM foods.
Soy is not your friend and if you are a vegetarian, the truth is that meat, as bad as it may seem is less toxic than the soy you are consuming. Please be sure to read the following articles on soy.

Live long and prosper and to do that, avoid all soy and anything GMO like the plague!
