Despite the overwhelming evidence, the problem is only going to get worse. Right now, it’s estimated that 60 percent of the refined foods on store shelves and foods sold in fast-food restaurants have some kind of harmful soy protein in them.
In the January 2006 Journal of Clinical Investigation,
researchers at the University of Colorado reported on the devastating
effects of soy. When the researchers fed soy-protein-based feed to mice
with a swollen heart, the mice developed heart failure and died. But
when other afflicted mice were fed raw milk, they made a marked
recovery. Dr. Leslie Leinwand, head researcher of the study, made a
remarkable statement: “At least in mice, diet can have a more profound effect on heart disease than any drug that we could imagine.” YES!
Back in September, 2005, the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality issued a report saying that much of the research carried out on soy is “inconclusive” and that soy products appear to exert “a small benefit on LDL cholesterol and triglycerides” but that those effects are of “small clinical effect in
individuals.”
That is a euphemistic way of saying soy is useless as a nutrient. “Clearly soy is not the solution for people at risk for heart disease,” says Dr. Daniel. “Possible benefits are outweighed by proven risks. People at risk for cardiomyopathy should avoid it altogether.”
Soy keeps (you from) multiplying!
The second study, published in January, showed that a plant estrogen
found in soybeans, called genistein, can lead to reproductive problems
and infertility. It also showed that the severity of these problems is
directly linked to the amount of genistein that a person ingests.
Perhaps most alarming is that the adverse effects were found at doses comparable to the amount of genistein found in soy infant formulas given to human infants.
(And who knows how many other adverse effects the genistein has, such
as feminization of the male pups, heart disease, and cancer.)

This study has a number of countries up in arms and ready to take action, including Israel, France, the United Kingdom (including the British Dietetic Association), and New Zealand. (I’m sure you can’t help but notice which countries are NOT on this list.)
The specific warnings given in Israel reflect genuine and alarmed concern: The Israeli Health Ministry warned mothers not
to put their babies on soy formula and suggested that until children
reach 18 years old, they should limit consuming products that contain
soy to three times per week or less.
The reality is that soybeans, which were long considered inedible unless fermented, should be outlawed for human and animal consumption.
The only animals that eat soy are domesticated house pets and domesticated humans because they have no choice.
But you should be ashamed of yourself for eating vegetablized female
hormone and for forcing it on your pets. You’re setting them up for
cancer, heart disease, arthritis, thyroid dysfunction, allergies,
malnutrition, sexual abnormalities, and diabetes. And furthermore, you
are setting yourself up for the same diseases.
