SOY WARNING
Are you drinking soy milk, or eating soy foods thinking they are good for your health? Beware!
You must please read through these educational resources which will warn you on the dangers of consuming these foods regularly. Not only is 98% of soy in the US a toxic Genetically Modified Food (GMO), but it is also linked to infertility,
breast cancer, hypothyroidism,
thyroid cancer, and many
other disorders.

Exceptions: Soy for Post Breast Cancer Remission
There
is a 2009 research study with 5000 women in China who were diagnosed as
having primary breast cancer between March 2002 and April 2006. Soy
food consumption after cancer diagnosis, measured as soy protein
intake, was inversely associated with mortality and recurrence. The
associations of soy protein/isoflavone intake with mortality and
recurrence appear to follow a linear dose-response pattern
until soy protein intake reaches 11 g/d (or soy
isoflavone intake reaches 40 mg/d). After these points, the association
appears
to level off or even rebound. The associations of
soy food intake with mortality and recurrence were observed for women
with either ER-positive or ER-negative
breast cancer. The association between soy food
intake and total mortality did not appear to vary by menopausal status
or by cancer stage. They found that women in the highest soy food
intake groups had the lowest mortality and recurrence rate compared with
women
in the lowest soy food intake group, regardless of
tamoxifen use status. ER = Estrogen Receptor

In this situation, having a bit of whole, organic, and ideally fermented soy foods a few times a
week can be beneficial as long as the woman consuming it is not
hypothyroid (or at risk for it), does not have thyroid cancer, nor is she allergic to soy.
