Soy is not a health food

Postby wildcardPT » Fri Jun 25, 2010 11:29 pm

Did you know that soy was not a health food!!?
Soy products have been sold as a health food for years yet new research has come out detailing that unfermented soy actually lowers your thyroid function leading to low metabolism.

Excess amounts can also cause an imbalance in your hormones as the plant chemicals will mimic estrogen. High levels of estrogen are linked to breast cancer, poly cystic ovarian syndrome, as well as cellulite.

If you are having trouble getting rid of your bingo wings, then high levels of estrogen are said to be the likely cause.

"Soy", do you mean "Soy bean?" It is abundant in Asia and it is considered as one of the low-cost source of protein, which has low level of fat. It is enriched with Omega-3, which is great for our heart. Now, you might ask if it's a great alternative protein-based food for weight loss? Well, it can be, but it would be much better to have a balanced diet and physical activities all together.

It provides proteins isn't it and we know that vegetable proteins have the advantage that they cause less loss of calcium through your kidneys. A diet rich in animal protein creates a higher risk for osteoporosis.
