What's the Problem with Soy?
I've seen several people on this ng talking about avoiding soy and things
made from it. So I'm curious...why? I've never really used soy products before going low-carb, but I'm not having any problems with them now that I'm aware of. ----- Bev |
What's the Problem with Soy?
It always amazes me that there are people like you out there who have
nothing better to do with their time except harass and irritate people. Why don't you go suck on a soybean already? It would be time better spent than coming around here and spewing insults about something you have no clue about.... According to QUACK Atkins, EVERY FOOD is bad except raw naked flesh from dead animals. If it aint bloody, it aint food !!! Atkins was a vampire of sorts, he had to have blood in every food item. |

Some people are sensitive to it-- the soy mimics feminine hormones and can mess up a delciate system. An occasional use, here and there probably won't be a problem, especially if you have never noticed trouble before. But daily/heavy use might be. Something to be aware of, that's all. Google the group on soy for more indepth discussion. -- revek www.geocities.com/tanirevek/LowCarb.html lowcarbing since June 2002 5'2" 41 F 165+/too much/size seven petite please People who like to listen to Frank Sinatra die of heart attack and cancer at far higher rates than people who like to listen to Britney Spears. Therefore, there is a link between the music of Frank Sinatra and heart disease and cancer. --Tony Lew |

And this is saving us from ourselves how again? Oh yeah that's right, you FAILED at being a messiah so you decided to take on the opposite number. Did you read about this in 'how to make friends and influence people'? I suggest you get your money back. -- revek www.geocities.com/tanirevek/LowCarb.html lowcarbing since June 2002 5'2" 41 F 165+/too much/size seven petite please It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things. {Jingo, 1997} |

Hi,

I've never really used soy products before going low-carb, but I'm not having any problems with them now that I'm aware of. Soy is a source of phytoestrogens, which is just a fancy way of saying plant-sourced estrogens. Some people are not able to stick extra estrogens in their system without getting symptoms like tender breasts, water retention, etc. That's why I have to avoid a lot of soy. If I wanted that kind of misery I'd take BC pills. ;-) Others avoid soy because there's some evidence that overconsumption (the definition of which varies from person to person) can negatively impact on thyroid function. Take care, Carmen |

Wow, WOW, W O W ..... That explains my tender breasts. My dick is tender too. Is that because of the soy bean I ate last week, or because I have to jack off all the time now, ever since I left my wife. She was spending all her time with some maggot ridden dead guy named Atkins. She loved him more than me, so I left her. Bwahahahahahahaha. The truth is out. Such a loser that your wife left you for a dead man. Bwhahahahahahahaha. -- revek www.geocities.com/tanirevek/LowCarb.html lowcarbing since June 2002 5'2" 41 F 165+/too much/size seven petite please Never do anything that you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics. |

Thanks for the info, revek and Carmen. I googled the group as revek
suggested and found a lot of interesting stuff. on Mon, 5 Apr 2004 12:18:52 GMT, "Carmen" wrote: Soy is a source of phytoestrogens, which is just a fancy way of saying plant-sourced estrogens.
