The Dangers of Soy Protein.
There is
so much confusing information about Soy many think it's a great food
source, then there are those that know the truth about this toxic food.
Please read the following article and think twice before eating anymore soy products.
Soy Danger #1:
Hidden Toxins That Make You Store MORE Belly Fat
EVERY living organism in nature has some sort of defense mechanism.
While animals use obvious weapons like claws and teeth to survive,
certain plants like soy use special toxins that are linked to several
health problems, which can potentially screw up your hormones.
Here are 6 examples…
Natural toxins: Impair your digestive system.
Phytates: Prevent you from absorbing certain minerals.
Enzyme inhibitors: Hinder protein digestion.
Goitrogens: Interfere with your thyroid function and metabolism.
Phytoestrogens (Isoflavones): Genistein and daidzein, which mimic the
fat storing hormone estrogen. They're also shown to increase your risks
of hypothyroidism by 3 fold. (1)
Haemaggluttin: Causes red blood cells to clump together and inhibits oxygen uptake and growth.
Now you can probably see why Asians have been using a process called
"fermentation" for years now. It gets rid of most of the anti-nutrients,
allergens and hormone-disrupting compounds found in raw soy beans.
But in North America, no one seems to care! And companies carelessly
put hormone-disrupting raw soy in soymilk, soybean oil, soy patties and
tofu – which increases fat storage, drains your energy, and HARMS your
body.
Soy Danger #2:
Genetic Modification That DESTROYS Your Digestive Health & Immune System
What you may, or may NOT know, is that 93% of the soy grown in the US has been genetically modified by the food giant Monsanto.
You might be downplaying this like it's no big deal, but researchers
have discovered that the Bt toxin inside GMO soy that's supposed to
repel bugs accumulates inside your gut, slowly leaching TOXIC pesticides
into your body. (2)
In fact, latest statistics show this
dangerous and fattening toxin can be found in the gut of 93% of pregnant
women and 80% of unborn babies... (3)
(It's no wonder GMO foods have been banned from several countries now, even though the FDA does NOTHING about it...)
Soy Danger #3:
Heavy Chemical Processing That Harms Your Body and Ages You FASTER...
Soybean oil, soy protein and other popular forms that are touted as
"healthy" are all heavily processed, which presents ALL kinds of
problems.
Here's why: natural plant oils inside soy plants are
very fragile, so they instantly become damaged and inflammatory the
second they're exposed to heat, oxygen, or even sunlight.
That's why soy products contain so many inflammatory compounds like
trans-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (HNE), a byproduct that SPEEDS up the aging
process.
This same compound is found in large amounts inside the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease. (4)
And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse: many soy products
are processed and extracted with hexane, a dangerous byproduct of
gasoline refining.
Soybeans are left soaking in a toxic hexane
bath for hours one end in order to squeeze every tiny bit of oil
possible. After that, the hexane is completely removed by evaporation.
At least that's what is supposed to happen. In reality, studies by the
EPA clearly show that hexane can still be found in soybean oil and
isolated soy protein. (5)
That's because the FDA doesn't bother
setting a maximum residue level in soy foods for dangerous chemicals
like hexane, which means it could be very harmful for you and your
family.
