When you do a search on soy, you’re going to find a lot of positive things about it. But, in reality, there are a lot of negative things about soy products.
Soy is GMO, and most of it has been processed using hexane, which is toxic. Soy is also very inflammatory because it’s high in omega-6.
Soy has been promoted to menopausal women but, in 25 trials, it was demonstrated that soy didn’t improve hot flashes.
Soy is given to many animals that we then eat. It’s also in oils, salad dressings, processed foods, and more.
There is a lot of conflicting information on soy, but many people believe it can lead to a range of serious health problems.
Soy is subsidized, meaning the government will pay farmers to grow soy. 85% of subsidized products go to just 50 multibillionaire CEOs. Overall, it seems like there is a huge push to get people to consume soy because it’s profitable.
But, as a consumer, there are a few things you can do about this problem. If people buy fewer soy products, the market will shift to other products.
What you can do:
1. Be highly selective of what you order at restaurants
2. Read labels and don’t buy products that contain soy
3. Eat at home
4. Consume more omega-3 fats

​@@lemonyskunkketts7781 yep, it's hard to trust even the ingredients list these days. A few years ago, I saw something called "durum flour" in a cracker (or some other baked good that uses flour); I looked it up and it turns out that it's a variant of common whole wheat, yet nowhere on the label did it say it contained wheat. I've seen similar for soy; a common one is 'vegetable oil', which is usually a mix of canola/another oil along with soybean oil, but it's only called vegetable oil, and nowhere does it say it's made with soy, so unless you call the company and ask which kind of vegetable oil they use, you could be eating it without knowing. Unless you find 100% canola or vegetable oil that is specified to be made with only canola/some other oil that is not soy, chances are it has soy. It's wild how brands can get away with this, but I'm assuming there's some amount of soy/wheat/nuts/other they can use before being legally required to specify it's being used, just like how there's an amount of insect parts allowed in food before it's regulated lol. I get that bug parts are more of an... "unavoidable defect" and aren't really as dangerous as an unnamed common food allergy, but still xD

Dr. Berg, ever since I have been following your program, I noticed that I no longer suffer from inflammation of the joints or arthritis of the hands (which I have been suffering from for a long time.) For the past two weeks, I've been manually digging and moving dirt with a shovel, daily, for hours. And, although, i am tired at the end of the day, my joints aren't achy. Your keto IF program enabled me to work just as hard, if not harder than before, but without all the soreness that usually comes with it. I started IF on April 1st, and started healthy keto, June 1st. I have gone from 139 lbs., back in April 2022, to under 125, today. I was addicted to eating and I learned that not eating so much, especially all those bad things, really makes a difference! I am always telling people to check out your videos because it worked for me, for certain. I commented to a KZbinr in Korea, to check you out because she has been struggling with her weight, and although she didn't reply, she mentioned in her last video, that she is watching you.

I don't even eat those so called meat substitutes made for vegetarians out of soy products. The fact that it takes such a long time to cook the soya bean through (at least 2 and half hours) is indicative of its level of toxicity.

I am also a lover from mid 19th century to early 20th century Spanish guitar music and especially Julian Arcas and Francisco Tarrega. For years I have supervised ceremonies and my preparation for them was 4 days of water fasting, the fourth day was the day of the ceremony held in the night. I did this every two weeks and over time I continued to fast after the ceremony, for a total of 5, 7, 9, 11 days until I could fast from ceremony to ceremony. In the end, I managed to fast for 25 days. And yet I noticed that the fasting did not give me a long-lasting balance, it disrupts my life / eating rhythm. I believe that you can only develop from off balance without skipping anything. Of course I also did meditation and yoga for years and there were periods when I meditated 5 hours a day. Meditation gives you balance but it also causes you to skip something, namely the reason why there is no balance in your daily life without meditation. I always did food pretty well, I wasn't a food guerrilla but saw it more as a process to improvement. Now I have been eating 2 times a day at 11 and 17 o'clock for a year and even though I ran into everything at the beginning, especially the sugar addiction, I am now really starting to experience the deep balance in my daily life and have found out that it does not matter where you stand in your life process, it is mainly about acceptance of what is there before you can find the new balance. Thanks for all the good advice and tips.

I drink organic, sugar free soy milk and have no problem from it. All I ever hear is everyone hates soy. Could it be it's because they are not using organic?

[@lisbethbird8268]

I do too...it seems so perfect for a little energy and protein without much carbohydrate. Almond milk has no protein. I don't use large amounts or daily. Is it really that bad? Bummer.

Our family has slowly switched from vegetable oils to butter, coconut oil, bacon fat, and lard. It makes the food taste better. Biscuits are flakier and fluffier with coconut oil. I use butter to saute my veggies. Bacon fat to grease the pan for pan frying (you don't drown the food, you just have enough fat to keep it from burning).

[@SunnyDudeRandom]

That's awesome

[@leeannacevedo]

I eat a Whole Foods plantbased diet and we’ve had to avoid soy. It is almost impossible to eat whole organic soy without using a soy isolate such as soy sauce or liquid aminos. Using coconut aminos made from tree sap or just simple salt is a good alternative and if you are going to have soy.. only use organic whole soy. But it definitely should not be use as an everyday staple. Good video 👏🏽

[@elsalvinspired2088]

Love your comment. I love and drink organic soy milk with no other ingredients regularly. Tried other plant-based milks, but the soy milk I found tastes and feels good for my system. Good day, and thanks again😊

Can you go over the difference between soy in Asian foods (generally fermented) and western soy usage? You didn’t really touch on it in this video and you alluded that fermented soy is generally okay assuming it’s non GMO and the ingredients are fine. Thank you!

[@chelseaoates610]

Yes I want to know more about this since Asians have been eating soy products like tofu, tempeh, natto, soy milk for like thousands of years. So is it fine only if organic then?

[@jacquelinedrummond7598]

[@sharipeters6166]

Indeed. Is soy yogurt “fermented “? Says on the package but to me doesn’t sound like miso natto etc

[@janechu]

Asian soy is non-GMO. And it’s not all fermented, although we do eat a lot of fermented soy. We eat soy like westerners eat cheese. We create many different varieties out of soy beyond just tofu and soy milk. We even use them for desserts. And I’m not sure why Dr. Berg doesn’t think we drink as much soy milk. We drink tons of soy milk, including black soy milk. While everyone in elementary school was sipping on their highly processed, sugar infested, artificial fruit juices, I was sipping on soy milk growing up. East Asians have been eating soy for decades and lived without a lot of health issues westerners had. My belief is the soy in the US is just bad. So I personally don’t touch US soy as much as I can avoid it, including tofu, in the US unless it’s grown on a Korean or Japanese farm or factory in the US. Yes they do have those. I’m also a believer that some of it has to do with your race/culture/genetics. Many Europeans don’t have lactose intolerance genetically, but many Asians do. So I think these blanket statements of soy is bad have only been tested on white westerners and mostly men and then all doctors and specialists assume it applies to everyone of all races. So please use discernment. I hear the same thing about legumes and grains, but rice is a grain and we’ve been eating that in Asia for generations, sometimes with nothing else to eat, and we have lived without as many health issues. Same with legumes. When varieties of legumes are added to rice, we consider it to be healthier. Perhaps it’s inflammatory for white people, but not for the majority of Asians. Or maybe it’s US legumes that are bad. Again, please use discernment. Every “body” is different. 😊

Hello Doctor My mother recently diagnosed NSCL ADENO as per your suggestion she is on fasting during chemo Hopefully she will get good response and the mass will be resected

[@ronaldd2154]

Fasting is good, but without REAL nutrition body cannot repair/heal and maintain itself. Look into juicing (vegetables because of low sugar content, not fruits). There are many anti-cancer properties in certain vegetables and herbs if one can handle. Onions, garlic, chili, turmeric, black pepper, ginger, green teas etc all anti-cancer. Carrot juice is high in vitamins A, but also has some sugar in it. Therefore recommend you don't drink alot of juice all at once. Instead 1 cup you can divide breakfast, lunch and dinner. Idea is because you consume such low calories, you still get benefits from "fasting", BUT giving body nutrients to HEAL. Look up "Gerson therapy". Good luck and best wishes to you!

I went to a commercial keto company several years ago so I would be supervised. They had me drink five protein drinks a day. That is where they made their money. I ended up massively bleeding and having to get a hysterectomy at 59, nine years after going through menopause. I didn't realize until years later when I watched your videos that the massive soy in those protein drinks was the cause. Also, I had to be tested for scirrosis even though I don't drink. I got a Freestyle Libre from my endocrinologist. I started taking supplements for my liver. One worked great, but one made my blood sugar crash. When I looked at the ingredients, the first ingredient was soy. Everything fell into place. Soy has been poisoning me all my life. I tried to eat healthy, but things were getting worse instead of better. That's why.

One day, all of a sudden, my body decided to reject soy. I had gastrointestinal diarrhea for days and days before I figured out it was this gluten free bread I was eating made with soy and pea protein. A few years before this, my body suddenly rejected wheat and a couple years after that, straight eggs. A small amount of eggs mixed in a cake or a little mayo with whole yolk doesn’t generally bother me. If I were to eat scrambled eggs, everything inside me would exit within the next hour or two.

Well I’m confused. Dr. William Li-a cancer researcher (TedTalks & KZbin & author of “Eat to Beat Disease”) talks about non-GMO soy in preventing cancer & so does Dr. Kristi Funk, breast cancer surgeon ( “Breasts, The Owner’s Manual”). Funk had a very good explanation as to how non-GMO prevents the occurrence & reoccurrence & death from cancer. It would be enlightening if you invited them both on your program.
