In my opinion, soy is one of today’s most dangerous
“foods” available, but is touted as a modern miracle food that can do no harm. Why? Before you can understand that, first let’s become better acquainted with soy. Soy started as a legume grown in Asia; it was used
as a green manure for its ability to fix nitrogen, not as a food source. Soy contains so many anti-nutrients that it is not edible by humans without a lot of processing, substantially more than other seeds. (Lierre Keith, The Vegetarian Myth).
Trypsin Inhibitors For all the companies and their paid science claiming
that soy is this great source of protein readily available for consumption, well, that is an outright lie. Soy contains toxins that shut down the ability of the consumer to me- tabolize its seed; these toxins shut down the pancreas’ ability to make the digestive enzyme Trypsin. (Trypsin is a digestive enzyme used to break down protein. Symp- toms of the lack of Trypsin include gas, lower abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea). Even if soy was an actual usable source of plant protein you would still need to properly ferment it to disable these toxins. More than 90 percent of the soy consumed by people in the U.S. today is not fermented, if not closer to 100 percent.
Phytates Phytates are potent mineral blocking salts of phytic
acid occurring in plants, especially cereal grains and seeds. Phytates form insoluble complexes that bind to minerals (calcium, zinc, iron, etc.) in the body leaching or blocking them from being absorbed and used as nutrients. The level of phytates in soy is so high that no amount of fermenting or processing can remove them completely. Asian cultures would use small amounts of soy predominately in soups that are naturally high in minerals; this would help to negate the negative mineral pull of the phytates.
Thyroid Destroyer Researchers have known since the 1950s that soy

foods cause thyroid damage, especially in infants. In 1980, government researchers in Britain identified soy-dependent vegans as a population at risk for thyroid disease; since then, the British Committee on Toxicity (COT) has added infants using soy formula and adults using soy foods or soy supplements to the list. ( Kaayla Daniel, The Whole Soy Story).
Phytoestrogens Phytoestrogens are plant estrogens. They are
produced by more then 300 plant species, but soy is the only plant containing this toxin consumed by humans. Phytoestrogens are created by plants as a defense against animals (and humans) that may want to consume it. Just like plants use phytates and enzyme
