Have you ever wondered
about soy? It's promoted as the miracle food that
will feed the world while at the same time prevent and
cure all manner of diseases.
But what if all
you've read about soy is nothing but a multi-million
dollar marketing strategy based on scanty
facts, half-truths and lies?
Most people remain unaware
that soy is widely known to contain an array of potent
chemical toxins. The modern manufacturing processes
of high-profit industries make no effort to remove these
potent toxins. High levels of phytic
acid, trypsin inhibitors, toxic lysinoalanine and highly
carcinogenic nitrosamines are all present in soy
products.
Phytoestrogens
that disrupt endocrine function and are potent antithyroid
agents are present in vast quantities in soy, including
the potentially devastating isoflavone Genistein. Infants
exclusively fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 22,000
times more estrogen compounds in their blood than babies
fed milk-based formula, the estrogenic equivalent of
at least five birth control pills per day. Premature
development of girls has been linked to the use of soy
formula, as has the underdevelopment of males. Infant
soy formula has been linked to autoimmune
thyroid disease.
Soy is linked to infertility,
breast cancer, hypothyroidism,
thyroid cancer, and many
other disorders.
"Imagine drugs
that are known, by years of scientific documentation,
to be both carcinogenic and to also cause DNA and chromosome
damage being prescribed and administered through the
food supply to populations of many countries around
the world without the knowledge or consent of the individuals
consuming these foods ... with no way to track dosage,
individual reactions, or harmful side-effects ... and
without any concern for some people’s increased vulnerability
to these drugs, such as cancer patients. It sounds
crazy, but that is exactly what is happening around
the world when Soy is added to our food supply. Soy
contains the scientifically documented carcinogenic
and DNA damaging and chromosome damaging natural
chemicals genistein and daidzein." -
True Health, the magazine of Carotec
Inc., Naples, Florida. May/June 2004.
"(Soyfoods)
are not nutrients. They are drugs."
Dr. L. White, Honolulu
Aging Study.
The answer is simple,
given the soy industry
is one of the world's most wealthy and powerful multi-billion
dollar industries.
"Despite
an impressive array of scientific evidence that soy
is not a fit food for man nor beast, the soy marketing
mastodon has marched through the American market like
Sherman through Georgia - and likely doing about as
much damage as Sherman's Union Army did. In our
opinion the widespread use of non-fermented soy is part
of the chronic disease problem since soy is known to
wreak havoc with the human thyroid and other hormone
systems." - True
Health, the magazine of Carotec Inc., Naples, Florida.
May/June 2004.
The result is an industry
that will systematically steamroll anybody that dares
suggest there may be problems with the darling soy.
When we first questioned the safety of soy, a representative
of Protein Technologies told us that they had:
-
"... teams
of lawyers to crush dissenters, could buy scientists
to give evidence, owned television channels and
newspapers, could divert medical schools and could even
influence governments..."
This boast has proven all too true,
and you'll be shocked to learn that much of what you've
read about soy is nothing but a con.
Soybeans are widely known to contain
a gamut of natural toxins
- and it makes no difference whether they are organic,
"Round-Up Ready", or in any number of modern
products (see our GUIDANCE
page).
The trouble with modern soy products
is that fast industrial processing does not equate to
historical methods of fermenting
"for two summers" or boiling "for the
length of an incense". The method of modern get-rich-quick
corporations is simply to leave these well-known natural
toxins in our products.
"Among the Hawaii "study's"
conclusions: that tofu accelerates brain weight loss
in aging users, that the more soy you use the more it
impacts your mental abilities, that soy acts like a
drug, not a food." - True
Health, the magazine of Carotec Inc., Naples, Florida.
May/June 2004.

We are frequently asked
for suggestions. One way to inform your fellow citizens
is to ask your local newspaper to print a factual article,
post one on public and supermarket notice boards, and on Internet
newsgroups. Also in MOMS club and womens' issues websites.
Three which we feel are short,
accurate and to the point are the two by Susan Starr Paddock:
Soy Foods Have Downside For Health
Of Infants, and .Thyroid Problems
Mis-Diagnosed As Depression and the one in "Moonlight
Health", which is authored by a medical doctor.

A controversial article from WorldNetDaily's
Jim Rutz, discussing feminizaton and male homosexuality
as a side effect of plant estrogens in soy: "There's
a slow poison out there that's severely damaging our
children and threatening to tear apart our culture.
The ironic part is, it's a "health food,"
one of our most popular."

This article caused a
huge reaction, and Jim's follow up entitled "The

NZ
citizens: Please sign our petition...
Greetings,
We are writing on behalf of Soy Information Service
(www.soyonlineservice.co.nz). We and the scientists
involved in the investigation of the harmful effects
of soy products, particularly to children, have been
encouraged by Sue Kedgely MP of the Green Party, Barbara
Stewart MP of New Zealand First, and Phil Heatley
MP of the National Party to petition the House Select
Committee on Health for Health warnings to be included
in the sale of soy protein-based infant formulas.
Please download
& print the Petition
[petition.doc], sign it, get as many other signatures
as you are able, and post it to:

Many Thanks,

is Off the Soy From
Bottom Line's Daily Health News
It's astonishing how quickly a wide range
of soy-based foods and drinks has flooded our groceries
and delis. Most consumers are sure they are doing
the right thing by replacing dairy with soy products
because they are so "health-promoting" --
especially new mothers who are feeding their infants
soy-based formulas. However, there is a small group
of nutrition experts who strongly disagree about the
so-called health properties of soy. In fact, they
fear soy might pose a danger to health, in particular
reproductive well-being..

Soy
Unsafe for Children
-Randall Neustaedter
OMD.
Soy beans and soy products are not appropriate foods
for infants or children, not tofu, soy milk, or soy
formula, not soy hot dogs, sausages, soyburgers, or
textured vegetable protein. Not ever. Although soy
has been promoted as a health food and an excellent
alternative protein source with numerous health benefits,
the proven adverse health effects of soy on children
far outweigh any positive or philosophical reasons
to eat soy products. Soy proponents claim that soy
can lower cholesterol, prevent heart disease and breast
cancer, and reduce bone loss in menopause. Farmers
are cautioned not to feed growing domestic animals
a diet high in soy protein. Pigs, whose digestive
tracts are very similar to humans, are allowed only
one percent of their feed as soy because of the risk
of adverse effects on digestion and immune function
(Bee, 2000). Soy product consumption has been linked
to a long list of diseases and hormone dysfunctions
in children. Read
the whole story here.

Soy Online Service is
a small group of private citizens with a mission to
inform the public of the truth about soy. We have
no membership as such and are not sponsored by industry
or any other group, in fact our research is funded out
of our own pockets. We do not seek the destruction
of the soy industry or to stop people eating soy.
We have no desire to stop you being Vegan or to cause
you to switch to dairy products. Rather we seek
to expose the deceit of the major soy companies and
to uncover the truth about soy products. We do
this by providing you with factual material that you
can read for yourself, so that in the future you can
make an informed choice about what you eat.
Soy Online Service is
pleased to announce the winner of its quarterly Big
Ugly Bull Award for excellence in the fields
of dishonesty (just plain bull) shonky research (bull
in white-coats), bullying, bull-necked stubbornness,
deceit (trying to pull the bull over our eyes), bull-headed
ignorance and actions that smell like a Big Ugly Bull.
