Is Soy Dangerous? | Neal Barnard, MD

[@nelarizaj1613]

It's so frustrating that you can't know what is true and what not so many doctors say it's bad and the rest say it's good. Both of them have studies behind which support them...

[@danferrusquia2819]

MDs are not the best sources of nutrition advice beyond basic knowledge (like recommending you add spinach to your diet if your blood work shows low iron). Registered dietitians go to school for like eight years just to study food whereas MDs only get one or two classes on basic nutrition. If you need more specialized advice, I’d recommend either following RDs online or setting an appointment with one if that’s feasible for you

There are 10 people who are too intellectually challenged so they want cancer, or who just hate that women are finding a way to survive and men too, my husband had prostate cancer. the 5 years I spent being vegan and exploring the wonders of soy, he would not touch it. He got stage 4 cancer, could not wait for a diet change, he had surgery vs. chemo and radiation. He is vegan now because he had to go through the horrors of that surgery to know there is something dreadfully wrong with the American Diet. In my family: my mother and my sister died of breast cancer; on my husband’s side, his mother died of breast cancer. She had fought cancer for years, started as colon cancer, went to the uterus, then on to the breast. She LOVED Dairy, but Dairy did not love her. Almost all of the tastes and textures can be mimicked by plants. You don’t have to give up good eating. Things really do taste good. If your family would prefer you dead to alive, is your family’s issue. Educate them and don’t die!

The problem is not the soy. The problem is that you choosed to eat processed soy. This is the same like the fruits.

[@nancyhey1012]

Indeed, I’ve always felt that the reports of soy being “unhealthy” were politically motivated. Meat production is a big industry, with lobbying clout. People eating more soy products as a replacement for animal products definitely cuts into their profits. Soy is not the only source of vegetarian protein, but as Dr Barnard says, it is very versatile.

They want people to keep consuming their products in spite of scientific studies showing the health concerns, so I consider them equivalent to the tobacco industry. Plus they rely on desensitization of people to the suffering of animals. It’s just a different level of greed than from someone who grows vegetables.

In menopause and people keep saying that the soy (tofu & tempeh) will end up killing my thyroid. Can you explain the connection between soy and hypothyroidism?

[@kjain6481]

Thanks Dr Bernard. Your videos make a lot of sense. Would be great if you could provide a little insights into why many women with Endometriosis experience less pain when avoiding soy. I love soy and your answer to my question will help me decide whether or not to have it.

I have been vegan for several years, enjoy tofu and such, but was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and had an ovary removed, at 29. That was a week ago. I try to approach my health in a very holistic manner so was wondering if my diet contributed to that. There does seem to be some consensus on certain foods being bad for endometriosis: gluten, meat and dairy, inflammatory foods but I haven't found any clear consensus on soy products. Does anyone know if there is any unbiased research that shows that soy increases your risk of endometriosis? Right now I'm not sure what to eat, I'm so scared I'm going to do more damage. A lot of people are questioning whether it was my vegan diet :(

Hbomberguy has covered Soy extensively.

[@Hisloyalservantslistenlove613c]

From the Mayo Clinic… Risk factors Several factors place you at greater risk of developing endometriosis, such as: Never giving birth Starting your period at an early age Going through menopause at an older age Short menstrual cycles - for instance, less than 27 days Heavy menstrual periods that last longer than seven days Having higher levels of estrogen in your body or a greater lifetime exposure to estrogen your body produces Low body mass index One or more relatives (mother, aunt or sister) with endometriosis Any medical condition that prevents the passage of blood from the body during menstrual periods Disorders of the reproductive tract

[@Hisloyalservantslistenlove613c]

A nurse I was working with said her physician told her the following. “ There are two cures for endometriosis. One is male hormones and the other is getting pregnant “.

[@OZMAZZ12]

Soy has isoflavones which block estrogen receptors, so it actually encourages your body to make MORE ESTROGEN.. this feeds endometriosis.. even though it’s not the cause of it.. endometriosis is likely to be a result of a bacterial infection with immune disease..

Personally I have bought, tried and completed drinking powdered soy milk (good quality brands) over the course of several months each time at 2 or 3 different occasions. I notice the feelings of sharpness where my kidneys are and it stayed throughout the course of the milk. Why I pressed on and tried to finished those cans I don't know. Maybe, I believed it was good for me. Anyway, the feelings of sharpness disappeared once I finished the course. As I am lactose-intolerant, I just had to try again after gaps of a year. Again the sharpness returned while I continued the drink. Eventually, I just stopped buying and drinking powdered soya milk. I do have soya products in my meals but only in fermented forms, occasionally with dried soya tofu or steam tofu dishes. Sometimes soya as a dessert. The idea of it as a daily health supplement is false (maybe even dangerous) in my opinion. I do enjoy eating soya the way I am doing now but have no need for such so-called soya supplements given that I have enough fruits and vegetables on top of regular kefir/yoghurt and cheese.

[@BWater-yq3jx]

At least you were smart enough to work out that cheese has almost no lactose in it. Such a common misconception about that. As for lactose intolerance, have you tried taking probiotics regularly? I suggest the high dose acidophilus+ quality brands that come in the fridge.

[@Jeca6280]

I needed that. I heard that with eating soy my hormonal belly will not go away. And I was wondering what could be bad about soy. And I’m glad I can keep on consuming it.

I can't believe there's a conspiracy that "a plant full of protein is bad for you" If you eat soy, btw, then it's all about texture and seasoning. Even meat on its own is boring without picking out on how to get the right textures and seasoning.

Most people referred to as "soy. Boys" don't eat soy unless it is in miso soup served with a teriyaki dish. They do, however, eat a TON of metallic iron filings in iron fortified possessed foolds. This toxic form of iron drive oxidative stress, and when bio-copper runs low, estrogen becomes the plan B antioxidant. Metallic iron filings drive hyperestrogenemia.
