Hi Steve,

Thanks for sharing. This is all quite interesting. We must be careful with everything.

I always wondered about the organic farming and I’m glad you shared that tidbit of information. I didn’t know that.

Take care and thanks for chiming in!

Keep in mind that the traditional way to eat soy in Asia was fermented. Tofu is a relatively modern phenomenon. My ex-wife was advised by he urologist to avoid soy, so I started researching, and find a vast majority of studies are done by the soy industry. I have always been of the thought that just because it is natural doesn’t mean it’s good, asbestos is 100% natural (it’s a rock) and so is arsenic, I bet you don’t intentionally ingest either one. As for organic farming, be careful there also as the USDA guideline says just no artificial fertilizers, pesticides are not mentioned (why I grow my own)

Hi Samantha,

I agree. People should read articles and the results from the published research. I have and it helped me a lot and others should do the same, especially if they are confused about soy or anything for that matter.

Thanks for chiming in!

Soy is one of those touchy topics that almost everybody has an opinion on. Soy is heavily treated with chemicals/pesticides, which is why some say to eat organic…to eliminate those chemicals.
When you look at the research…there are pros and cons. It can help with cancer as it acts as an estrogen, as stated in many medical studies. If you want to consume…do real research! Go to the actual published scientific studies and read the results.

Hi Jupitor,

There’s a lot of information out that suggests that soy is toxic. That it messes up the hormones, thyroid and who knows what else, but this is mostly caused by soy foods that people consume that are highly processed. Some people say stay away from soy, while others say it’s okay. It is very confusing. But if we look at the Asian population who has consumed traditional soy for many, many years without any issues, then that should re-assure people that it can’t be too bad. But it does affect people differently..some people have allergies to soy.

I don’t think fresh soy beans are toxic.

Thanks for stopping by!

Nicely presented, Evelyn.
But why soy is toxic? What does soy contain that makes it toxic? what about the fresh soy beans, I hope they are not toxic.

Hey Monique,

An older lady told me the same thing that you are saying. She said as long as you get organic and keep it to what I’ve mentioned you should be fine. Maybe she was on to something.

You never know.

Thanks for chiming in!

Hi Jo,

It really is a hot topic.

You’re right!

I use to get so confused myself. As a result, I started doing more research about things and paying attention to how my body felt.

Thanks for stopping by, Jo!
