A lot of soy! Unless you look at each and every ingredient list; you can bet it’s finding it’s way into your body!

I have a constant craving to learn about the food we are putting into our bodies. Books, blogs, documentaries, websites feed my brain. Moral, environmental and health issues motivate me to learn. I often tell people “the more you know the worse it is”. I rely on my common sense to weed through the lies, propaganda, and just straight up non-sense. I always question the source because obviously people trying to sell you something have a warped perspective. For example did you know that High Fructose Corn Syrup is good for you and your family? http://www.sweetsurprise.com/hfcs-and-your-family. At some point we have to sit down, read and figure out exactly what guar gum is! What are we eating? What are they creating in the labs and putting into our “foods”? High Fiber Fruit Loops is one of my new favorites! http://www2.kelloggs.com/general.aspx?id=2952

But why don’t we tackle one thing at a time.

Here is the skinny on soy! And I warn you, it’s shocking on many levels.

· Soy is a genetically engineered crop. It’s GMO (genetically engineered organism).

· Soy is a subsidized crop. That means the corporations buy it at a discounted rate. The farmers are going bankrupt as the major food manufactures get rich.

· Soy is in everything. Ok, not everything. But it’s more than you know. Most chocolate and candy, packaged foods, chips, crackers, frozen foods, ice cream, cereals, bread, cosmetics, shampoo and soaps, lotions, vitamin e. Yeah, just about everything. Including energy bars. Lots and lots of energy bars.

· Soy in the US is unfermented. That means it is ANTI nutrient. In their natural form, soybeans contain phytochemicals with toxic effects on the human body. The three major anti-nutrients are phytates, enzyme inhibitors and goitrogens. These anti-nutrients are the way nature protects the soybean plant so that it can live long enough to effectively reproduce. If they are not removed by extensive preparation such as fermentation or soaking, soybeans are one of the worst foods a person can eat.

Unfermented soy has been linked to digestive distress, immune system breakdown, PMS, endometriosis, reproductive problems for men and women, allergies, ADD and ADHD, higher risk of heart disease and cancer, malnutrition, and loss of libido!
