What's Wrong with Soy and Soy-based Foods?

NORTHVILLE, Mich. - Nov. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- For decades the food industry has touted the benefits of soy and soy-based products. However, more and more studies are demonstrating the dangers of soy, especially unfermented soy. What follows are just a few reasons why we should all be avoiding soy.

Babies given the recommended amount of soy-based formula are actually taking in hormones considered to be the equivalent of 4 birth control pills a day! Could this be the reason why girls are starting their periods at 6 and 7 years of age?

Soy destroys the thyroid. This type of food is called a goitrogenic (it is thyroid suppressing). Goitrogens keep your thyroid from getting the right amount of iodine. What happens next is a long list of symptoms such as: weight gain, unmanageable moods, easily tired, and inability to concentrate.

At least 91% of all soy grown in the US as been genetically modified. GMOs are responsible for a whole host of issues, There are dozens of countries that have already labeled foods as GMOs or banned them altogether. Meanwhile, in the US and Canada, it is estimated that 70% of all food products contain GMOs.

Soys contains:
Natural toxins that impair your digestive system.
Phytates that prevent you from absorbing certain minerals.
Trypsin inhibitors (proteins found in soybeans) that inhibit digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Enzyme inhibitors that hinder protein digestion.
Goitrogens that interfere with your thyroid function and metabolism.
Phytoestrogens that mimic and sometimes block the hormone estrogen.
