Soy: Soy Is Not As Healthy As They'd Like Us To Believe
'I feel betrayed. But it's my own fault.'
That comment comes from a colleague of mine named Lou who sent me an e-mail with some enlightening (and frightening) information about foods that contain soy.
Lou writes: 'When my son was born about 13 years ago my wife wasn't able to breast feed, so we looked at the various formulas available and decided on one that had a soy base. Back then we were convinced that soy was healthy. Looking back now I want to kick myself. I dumbly accepted the soy-is-healthy sales pitch without ever really questioning it.
'I've attached some items about a study that was a real eye opener for me and my wife. Maybe your readers will find this info useful and avoid our mistake.'
Soy good: but only the right type
According to an article in Mothering magazine (one of several articles Lou sent), researchers with the Israeli Health Ministry spent about a year assessing a wide variety of soy studies. The research team included more than a dozen nutritionists, paediatricians and oncologists. They announced their findings last summer.
The primary conclusions:
- Oestrogen-like plant hormones (isoflavones) in soy may increase the risk of health problems, including breast cancer and reduced fertility in men
- Evidence that soy reduces symptoms of menopause is inconsistent
- Soy may slightly reduce cholesterol levels, but no clear link to a reduced risk of heart disease was found Researchers 'strongly urged' minimised consumption of soy foods until further studies are able to demonstrate soy's safety. In addition, the Israeli team recommended that soy baby formula should be used only as a last resort in cases where infants can't be breastfed and cow's milk can't be given.
Soy: Know what you are consuming
Normally I'd be bucking the mainstream and endorsing an alternative food product that enhanced health. But soy is not on the alternative fringe. Anything but! Thanks to the aggressive marketing efforts of soybean producers, soy has won a mainstream reputation as a nutritional medicine of sorts, even though evidence to the contrary has been steadily mounting for years.
So, whilst the 'soy' on our supermarkets shelves and hidden in our baby formula are unfermented, fermented soy products are far superior in its health benefits. Sadly, this differentiation is not made when 'soy' is sold to us and the good guys like Lou end up paying more than a few pounds for something that he believed was the 'right thing to do'.
