I thought soy was very good for fighting cancer.

Gosh… it seems that the more we think about what is really healthy and what is not.. the more confused things get.

I agree that every consumer must really check if the soy bean products have really come from a reliable organic source before consumption. A person's general health is at stake here, so everyone of us must exercise all necessary measures to make sure that all that we're eating are really safe to eat.

Hexane is strictly prohibited in organic food processing, but is used to make “natural” soy foods and even some that are “made with organic ingredients,” such as Clif Bars. Hexane is a neurotoxic petrochemical solvent that is listed as a hazardous air pollutant with many organizations.

Soy foods are so nasty but they do have a lot of good health benefits. I just can’t get myself to eat soy foods.

I have heard both sides of the argument about soy. Some nutritionists praising its health benefits, others trashing its supposed health risks. The point I want to make here is a larger point that applies to much more than soy. Don’t just take the results of a study for or against a product without first looking at who may be funding the study. Do they have a financial interest in building up or in tearing down a product? That is why peer reviewed studies are so important as they are typically 3rd party and unbiased. If at all possible look for a peer reviewed study to come to a more realistic conclusion.

Thanks arimbawa, I didn’t know that it contained haemagglutinin.

Soybeans also contain haemagglutinin, a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together.

I think it’s interesting to note that in Asian countries, soy is consumed but not how we think it is. We think they live on it, while in reality they only eat a small ammount. Plus soy is very estrogen forming in the body, which is not a good thing. If I were to eat soy, I’d ferment it but that’s just me.
