Why You Should Avoid Soy
Tacos Have you ever wondered about soy? It's promoted as the miracle food that will feed the world while at the same time prevent and cure all manner of diseases. But what if all you've read about soy is nothing but a multi-million dollar marketing strategy based on scanty facts, half-truths and lies?
How could anyone get away with that? The soy industry is one of the world's most wealthy and powerful and one that will steamroll anybody that dares suggest there may be problems with the darling soy. When the Soy Online Service first questioned the safety of soy, a representative of Protein Technologies told them that they had:
  • teams of lawyers to crush dissenters
  • owned television channels and newspapers
  • could divert medical schools
  • and can even influence governments

That boast has proven all too true, but you'll be shocked to learn that much of what you've read about soy is nothing but a con:

  • Read how the animal kingdom caused us to uncover the dark side of soy.
  • Learn the truth about the history and traditional use of soy in Asia.
  • Find out what they didn't tell you about chemicals in soy that are toxic.

The soy industry is worth billions and spends millions on promoting its products. Is it any wonder that their political influence is global?

And if you need some advice about what constitutes a safe level of soy intake, we think we can help.

  • Soy Proteins - Facts & Fallacies
    by Dr. Gary Farr 7/20/2004
    The propaganda that has created the soy sales miracle is all the more remarkable because, only a few decades ago, the soybean was considered unfit to eat - even in Asia. During the Chou Dynasty (1134-246 BC) the soybean was designated one of the five sacred grains, along with barley, wheat, millet and rice. However, the pictograph for the soybean, which dates from earlier times, indicates that it was not first used as a food; for whereas the pictographs for the other four grains show the seed and stem structure of the plant, the pictograph for the soybean emphasizes the root structure.
