Question #23: How healthy is fermented or unfermented soy protein?
I'm just wondering whether fermented or
unfermented soy protein is good for you? For
example: soy supplements, soy shakes, or soy
sauce.I've also heard much about soy's weight loss
and menopause properties, any of it true? -Thanks
in advance.
Answer: Japanese have the highest life expectancy of any
culture in the world. They eat very little
unfermented soy. Most of their intake of soy is
the fermented type in things like soy sauce. They
also supplement their diet with foods high in
minerals that basically overwhelms the problems
with soy that inhibits the absorption of minerals.
Soy that is unfermented is very bad for you.The
main reason most vegetarians struggle with anemia
and get problems with degenerative diseases later
in life is because of the large amounts of soy
they eat. Soy inhibits over 50% of iron
absorption as well as other minerals. It slows
the thyroid down and in fact, even drug companies
place a warning that people taking synthroid and
other thyroid medications avoid all soy products
because it neutralizes the effect of the synthroid
medication.Soy is being put into many of American
foods now because the soy industry has spent
billions promoting it and our FDA and other health
agencies have ignored the problems created by soy.
Soy has a big afinity toward absorbing heavy
metals. Aluminum is highly absorbed by soy plants
and most soy products are very high in this
dangerous heavy metal.When soy is fermented, much
of the problematic issues with soy are greatly
reduced, but it is so much better to avoid soy.The
big marketing hype today is eat lots of soy and
vegetable oil. Just ask yourself why 75% of all
Americans die of heart disease and Eskimos that
eat huge amounts of saturated fats do not have
heart disease problems. Eskimos do not eat
Canola, Soybeans, or any soy products.Soy milk is
one of the most amazing marketing phenomenon I've
seen in a long time. Imagine, soy milk is very
bitter and brown when made, so they add lots of
sugar and Titanium Dioxide to make it look white
like milk. Titanium Dioxide is white paint. Look
at an oil paint container and see what it's made
of; right, Titanium Dioxide. Baby formulas that
are made of soy are incredibly bad for babies.
Giving a baby just one bottle of this stuff gives
the baby the equivalent of 5 birth control pills!
Why would anyone want to give babies white paint
and birth control pills?Any of the good you hear
about soy is far out shadowed by the bad. There
is a very good read on the problems with soy in a
book called "The Whole Soy Story." You
can find it in some health food stores way in the
back, hidden under some books stacked on top to
keep it secret. Another good source for a good
understanding of what soy is all about is at the
following web site:
www.medicinenon.it/Attack.docThe best protein
drink is from whey protein. Unlike soy protein
that is only about 60% absorbed at best, whey
protein is absorbed about 95%+ because it is
highly assimilated by the body. You need to make
sure that the whey protein you purchase is
produced at very low temperatures to preserve the
delicate, health-promoting glycomacropeptides.
This is what promotes immune support in the
protein.Start looking around at all the foods that
contain soy and you will be amazed at how many
foods contain this garbage. Dominoes puts 30% soy
in their pizza cheese to make it cheaper. Kraft
foods uses huge amounts of this garbage in their
foods. Look at what their mayonnaise is made
of.To make matters worse, soybeans, canola, and
cottonseed, and now corn products are being
genetically engineered and the FDA is allowing
them to NOT contain labels that tell you, the
consumer, that you are eating a genetically
engineered product. Monsanto Corporation has
bought up most of the seed companies and is now
suing most of the farmers in Canada and North
America for patent infringement for having their
genetically engineered products found in their
fields blown in by winds that are contaminating
all the crops. The head of the FDA is an
ex-Monsanto executive. Surprise, surprise. The
European Union Countries, Mexico, Japan, to name a
few of the countries have banned the import of
American genetically engineered foods. They have
recognized the health problems that are being
promoted by this garbage. Like many drugs, the
FDA is allowing this garbage to be distributed
freely in the U.S. and children as well as adults,
are continuing to be the guinea pigs for the
world. Amazing. I do not eat any soy products and
avoid canola and cottonseed oils. Anything that
says vegetable oils is most likely soybean or
canola that has been genetically engineered and
should be avoided like the plague.good luck to you

Question #24: Are soy protein shakes good for you?
I went to GNC last night and go some soy protein
shakes (reccomended by the cashier). Has anyone
ever used them and are they good for you? I was
told that they will help replenish the muscle
after a work out, to help you build lean muscles.
Also, a plus for people who do not consume enough
protein. Thanks for your answers!!
Answer: Soy is good, good, good. I have some soy milk in
my fridge. Has protein w/o all the crazy stuff
they are putting into our meat. If I didn't love
chicken so much...I'd be a vegetarian.

Question #25: Soy Protein Powder water processed?
My Soy Protein Powder from Trader's Joe says
'water processed' and no preservative or
artificial flavors and colors. Its not organic
though and I have read that if soy is not organic
then a petroleum solvent called hexane might have
been used to process soy! But since they say
'water processed' on the label I wonder if that
means no hexane was used. Anybody know?
Answer: You would need to contact the company to know for
sure. It does not guarantee that no hexane was
used. However, I'd say it could have used hexane.
It's a two step process:Step 1, defat the soy,
for conventional (non organic) this is typically
done with hexane as a solvent. What is left is
soy concentrate. (Organic soy concentrate is
separated mechanically, which is more
expensive.)Step 2, to get protein concentrate from
the soy concentrate there are 3 commonly used
optionsa: Alcoholb. Acid Washc. Hot water
leaching.So I think that "water
processed" simply means that they used hot
water leaching in step 2. It says nothing about
what they used for step 1.

I have this big tub of Soy Protein I bought a
couple of years ago and it is expired by about 3
months.It looks the same and tastes the same,
because I took some the other day without
realizing it was expired.Can I finish the tub?
Answer: Maybe.Some food products may last for years beyond
the dates provides, but State and Federal laws may
impose the dating for "stock rotation"
purposes. It's sort of intended for consumer
protection...

Question #29: Soy Protein Powder?
Ive heard so many bad rumors about soy protein on
health sites but I still dont really understand
whats wrong with it. Do you guys know why its
considered not good?
Answer: There are many proteins out there that are much
better sources, like Whey Isolate. Soy contains
estrogen precursors and isoflavones, which
negatively affect people with thyroid conditions.

Question #30: magnesium, soy protein, chromium piccolinate for women?
I started taking soy protein yesterday (powder for
shake) and mixed it with my meal replacement
shake and kept me full for hours and no cravings,
sweet or salty. also started taking magnesium and
chromium piccolinate for weight management. does
anyone think this is good? i feel good and hope
to somehow keep up with my 4 nights a week
workouts and these suplement to see a 10 pound
loss.any suggestions or info on these supplements?
Answer: I would make sure the soy protien is not
geneticallly modified. 90 percent of the soy
produced in the US is modified. It is called
"roundup ready" soy, because it was
spliced with the pesticide "roundup" to
make it withstand heavy spraying of pesticides.
It has been further modified with the genes of
wheat, corn, and scorpion venom (to make it more
resistant to pests) I think it is a toxic
soup-all those pesticides and altering what mother
nature provided. If it is non gm soy, then it
sounds like you are on a good plan
