Re: About soy beans
by John Cullison 22 y
Positive thing about soybeans: all eight essential amino acids.
The thing that I’m not liking about soy beans at the moment is the relatively large amount of phyto-estrogens. Basically, there has been some research to suggest that soy formula as a baby causes precocious puberty. My daughter began precocious puberty before she turned 7 (and she was a soy formula baby). She’s now 9, and it hasn’t progressed into puberty yet, but we didn’t discover this link until recently. She’s now completely off soy just so as not to upset things further.
Of course, animal products contain hormon ...

Regarding soy - Oy!
by Dquixote1217 14 y
You could not pay me to take soy powder unless you could convince me that it came from fermented non-GMO soy. Soy is one of the most genetically modified plants on the planet and much of it has been modified to be "round-up ready" or else produce it’s own pesticides. Before you consider taking soy I strongly suggest you do a Google search for "soy dangers".
You will find very few people who are not linked to the soy industry or else mainstream apologists or dupes who consider non-fermented and/or GMO soy safe. On the other hand most members here and the& ...

Re: Soy!!

I’ve probably consumed more soy than anybody on these forums! I was a total soy junkie and unfortunately most of the soy was processed (soy protein powders and TVP) so it was a double whammy. The problem with soy is that most of it is highly processed and genetically modified. Monsanto, the big agribusiness giant, owns most of the soy produced in the US and the world. Those, like the Indonesians, who eat soy and do alright with it consume non-GMO soy and ferment it also. Its not quite as bad in that state and somebody could certainly live on it but who would want to eat a flavorless b ...

Biggest Brazil !soy state" loses taste for GMO seed
by chrisb1 15 y
SORRISO, Brazil (Reuters) - Farmers in Brazil’s Mato Grosso, the country’s top soy state, are shunning once-heralded, genetically modified soy varieties in favor of conventional seeds after the hi-tech type showed poor yields.
”We’re seeing less and less planting of GMO soy around here. It doesn’t give consistent performance,” said Jeferson Bif, who grows soy and corn on a large 1,800 hectare farm in Ipiranga do Norte, near the key Mato Grosso soy town of Sorriso.
He said he obtained average yields of 58 bags (60 kg) per hectare with conventional soy last season while fields planted ...

Soy as a whole product, contains many things, one is lecithin. Soy lecithin supplements simply rip away the lecithin, which does not contain any of the other good/bad things of the soy (except of the inevitably trace amount due to the mechanical extraction process).

One of the problems is that soy is very common as a filler in refined foods and some ”health” foods. Many people are consuming huge amount of soy without realizing it (or perhaps not caring). Doc. would say eat a Bocca burger or drink a glass of soy milk or eat a little soy cheese, but don’t do all three in a day, and don’t use soy as a major part of the diet everyday.

Fermented Soy Foods
by author RoseMarie Pierce, BSc Pharm
For more than 2,000 years, the modest little soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr., Leguminosae) has provided us with nutrition and healing power. New research shows that we derive the greatest benefits from soybeans when they are prepared in
traditional ways, especially when fermented.
Traditional soy foods are usually divided into two groups: fermented products such as miso, soy sauce, tempeh, and natto, and non-fermented products such as tofu and soymilks. In the name of health, North Americans are increasingly developing a ta ...

Proteins of soy beans have a biological value of 74 in a scale where the whole egg protein has a value of 100. This number makes the soy beans as the more efficient veggie for acquiring protein from food.
