Soy Milk Dangers

A family member told me they had read, there were very serious potential dangers to the consumption of even small amounts of soy milk. Related specifically to human hormones and cause fertility problems, etc. (I know that the warnings focused on children, adults talking here.)

So basically, there is no factual basis for this request, or another crazy idea of my family? ;)

There are many positive aspects about soy, but also more serious negative. It suppresses the thyroid function should therefore be avoided by someone on synthroid. For healthy people, it can cause hypothyroidism. It also blocks the intake of essential minerals, so if eaten in large quantities can cause a deficiency in minerals. If you eat soy and feeling "spacey" is the reason. Other issues of fertility, liver disease and more. All this can occur with only a small portion per day!

The worst is soy protein isolate, which is in the food children eat in school and in the baby formula!

Unfortunately, the isolate is in many processed foods and almost impossible to avoid completely.

I agree with some of what the poster No. 2 had to say. I have some questions myself but try to err on the side of caution. Report Abuse

BS, do not listen to lies, so processed soy could be bad for you, but it is even better than chicken transfat, or milk cancer, tumor or milk, milk contains Casin, which is the study and we think it leads to tumor growth, okay??? Want a healthy heart or a tumor Flag

Looks like it could lower your testosterone I found this site .. that was pretty good ... http://www.quantumbalancing.com/news/soy

This concern is running rampant, but in reality there is really nothing to worry about. The hormones that cause concerns about soy milk are present in very small quantities, and not enough to do any harm. Soy milk is good for you, and this is proven by looking at the people in the East - soy is widely consumed there and they are much healthier than we are.

Cow's milk is much more harmful than soy - milk from animals is loaded with high hormone which is excellent for growing calves, but not for infants or an adult man! In addition to antibiotics to cows and you have a deadly mix well. Very few people can tolerate lactose and it is not surprising that we do not intend to drink the stuff.

I think the dairy industry have something to do with the odor of allegations regarding the "harmful" effects of soy milk - it diverts attention from the ill effects of dairy cows. They would not lose money, would they?
