Soy is not good for you!
August 28th, 2006
If you think that soy-derived foods are good for you or your child you may want to read the book “The Whole Soy Story” (see http://www.thewholesoystory.com/index.php). One study showed that feeding soy to pregnant rats increased the risk of breast cancer in their offspring. I know we’re not rats, but when it comes to breast cancer we may want to take note (Oncol Rep. 1999 Sep-Oct; 6 (5): 1089-95). Another more recent rat study showed that giving genistein, which is found in all soy products, to female baby rats caused changes in mammary development and hormone receptors, while higher doses permanently affected development.
