Soy Wake Up Call: it is linked to heart disease and infertility! edit

Despite the overwhelming evidence, the problem is only going to get worse. Right now, it’s estimated that 60 percent of the refined foods on store shelves and foods sold in fast-food restaurants have some kind of harmful soy protein in them.

In the January 2006 Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers at the University of Colorado reported on the devastating effects of soy. When the researchers fed soy-protein-based feed to mice with a swollen heart, the mice developed heart failure and died. But when other afflicted mice were fed raw milk, they made a marked recovery. Dr. Leslie Leinwand, head researcher of the study, made a remarkable statement: “At least in mice, diet can have a more profound effect on heart disease than any drug that we could imagine.” YES!

Back in September, 2005, the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality issued a report saying that much of the research carried out on soy is “inconclusive” and that soy products appear to exert “a small benefit on LDL cholesterol and triglycerides” but that those effects are of “small clinical effect in individuals.”

That is a euphemistic way of saying soy is useless as a nutrient. “Clearly soy is not the solution for people at risk for heart disease,” says Dr. Daniel. “Possible benefits are outweighed by proven risks. People at risk for cardiomyopathy should avoid it altogether.”

Soy keeps (you from) multiplying!

The second study, published in January, showed that a plant estrogen found in soybeans, called genistein, can lead to reproductive problems and infertility. It also showed that the severity of these problems is directly linked to the amount of genistein that a person ingests. Perhaps most alarming is that the adverse effects were found at doses comparable to the amount of genistein found in soy infant formulas given to human infants. (And who knows how many other adverse effects the genistein has, such as feminization of the male pups, heart disease, and cancer.)
