You don't have to pile on any more evidence to convince me. I gave up high fructose corn syrup about 10 years ago, and it's one of the best things I did. Soy should be much easier.
It's unfortunate that there is only one brand of chocolate I've found that's soy free. Anything this toxic shouldn't be available in almost every manufactured 'food' product. The book is well reasoned and researched. And like Gary Taubes, she just gives you the evidence and allows you to draw your o I'm giving up soy.
And like Gary Taubes, she just gives you the evidence and allows you to draw your own conclusions. But one downside, the puns were just too much for me to stomach. Jan 06, Kristi rated it did not like it. If I could give this book zero stars I would.
I stopped reading this book a third of the way in. It is obvious that Kaayla Daniel has a hidden agenda. Her writing is biased, she gleans information and manipulates it to suit her viewpoint and she's a terrible writer. Don't waste your time. There's got to be a better source of information about soy products and the industry. Mar 31, Julie rated it it was amazing. Fermented soy is good, regular is bad in a nutshell.
Oct 15, Dunori rated it really liked it. Extremely thorough on the subject However, whereas the author is trying to make an argument, I believe it's understandable why the text should be as in-depth as possible. Mar 09, Jodi rated it it was amazing Shelves: health-books. This book provides very well written and easy to take in information on why soy should be eaten only in the traditionally fermented forms tempeh, natto, miso and only in very small amounts, if at all.
The facts on soy are shocking. Not only are the many health claims made about soy extremely dubious, there are many serious concerns about its safety as a food. Soy is hardly the health food it is promoted to be by the soy industry and in the highly processed form it is almost always eaten in, it i This book provides very well written and easy to take in information on why soy should be eaten only in the traditionally fermented forms tempeh, natto, miso and only in very small amounts, if at all.
Soy is hardly the health food it is promoted to be by the soy industry and in the highly processed form it is almost always eaten in, it is not very 'natural' either, and should not be considered a 'whole food. Products containing soy protein isolate, soy oil, hydrolized vegetable protein etc. Sterol containing margarines should also be strictly avoided by this group. Soy supplements are also to be avoided. Giving a baby soy formula is like giving them birth control pills a day and can have permenent effects on their reproductive health such as precocious puberty, small penis size, overdeveloped male breasts, longer more painful periods and infertility.
Eating lots of soy has a drug-like or hormone-like effect. Soy can inhibit enzymes in the body, reduce testosterone levels, reduce libido, cause a number of thyroid problems, increase cancer risk, cause cardiac arrhythmias, cause a toxic build up of manganese or aluminium and low iron levels and many other problems. Soy is also one of the top 8, 7, 6 or 4 top food allergies - depending on whose numbers you listen to.
Problems with the thyroid often occur at a dose of only 30 grams a day. The goitrogens in soy which interfere with thyroid fuinction cannot be cooked out of them, as with many other goitrogenic foods. Most soy in the US is also GM. The list goes on. This book includes some very sad case studies of the terrible effect soy has had on peoples lives, especially when soy is given to very small children and babies. One of the worst things about the heavy promotion of soy is that this inferior food is displacing many healthier food items in our diets and on our farms.
The very well funded soy lobby has done such a good job of demonising far healthier oils and foods such as coconut oil, eggs and butter, based on twisted science. If you are a big soy eater, or eat foods which are processed and may contain hidden soy, this book is essential reading. You may also want to read the information on soy and its dangers on the Weston A. Price website. Jan 29, Kirsten Hobbs rated it liked it. This book scared me out of my kitchen.
As someone who used to feed my kids a massive amount of soy each day, in consequence of their allergies to dairy, eggs, and various nuts I have now made some drastic changes to cut back on the amount of soy we eat around here. You know, I am not a scientist. And I am a skeptical enough person that unless I do the testing myself, I will never really know for sure who to believe with all this health and nutrition information.
But this book really does Eeek! But this book really does seem solid to me. The evidence and the incredible depth of scientific explanation convinced me that soy is truly something to be wary of. There are people making serious money on soy, and I do believe the health risks outweigh the benefits, especially for infants on soy formula, vegetarians, and other people who take in excessive amounts of soy. If you fit into this category, this book is worth the read so you can decide for yourself!
Feb 14, Janine rated it it was ok. I did not find this book easy to read. I glossed over much of it and still felt that I got a pretty good understanding of what Raayla Daniel was conveying. Using a good dose of sarcasm and hostility towards soy and the industry, Daniel makes some good points of why soy isn't what it is hyped up to be.
That said, most of the horror "soy stories" told of horrific health reactions based on a either a complete soy over-consumption, those with allergies to soy, and those who fed soy to their babies a I did not find this book easy to read. That said, most of the horror "soy stories" told of horrific health reactions based on a either a complete soy over-consumption, those with allergies to soy, and those who fed soy to their babies and children.
This is what I take from the book and how it mixes with my beliefs: 1. If you chose to eat soy, don't over do it. Over consumption of any food can cause adverse medical problems Don't feed soy to your infants and children. Lastly, I would like to add that I am a vegan and while I will continue to eat soy, I will eat much less than I would have if I did not read this book.
Feb 01, Burlgurl rated it really liked it. I was equally delighted and horrified to read this book. I will admit that I did not read the entire book. It was a bit too thick for me, so after reading the first half, I picked which bits I wanted more information on. Regardless, the long and short of it is that I am now completely off non-fermented soy products. This means, sigh, no tofu, no soy milk, etc. As a person-with-female-hormones, and with my family history of female-based-cancers, it is clearly too dangerous for me to potentially f I was equally delighted and horrified to read this book.
As a person-with-female-hormones, and with my family history of female-based-cancers, it is clearly too dangerous for me to potentially fan that particular flame. That being said, it was not the best written book I've consumed. It was a bit dogmatic, stilted, and rather dry for most of it.
I think it's an important boo that everyone should read, but just don't expect an easy read. Nov 25, Richard rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: everybody who can think for themselves. Shelves: medical-anomalies. A comprehensive study of a common weed that we all thought was or is good for health.
Some parts of the book go into medical detail that might be hard for the reader to get through but it is well worth the extra effort to be exposed to this complex commodity. The basic message of the book is that there are 5 elements to soy that should not be consumed. The differences between hydrogenated and fermented soy are profound and should not be ignored. This is a must read if you intend to eat processed A comprehensive study of a common weed that we all thought was or is good for health.
This is a must read if you intend to eat processed foods. There is approximately 60 percent of all processed foods that contain some element of soy. Beware aware and read the book. Jan 26, Christine rated it liked it. I didn't read this cover to cover, it tended to be quite redundant, by the time I was a third of the way through, I just started skimming for things I hadn't actually read yet. However, inbetween the redundancies and the abundant information of the process of the soy bean and it's products, was some startling information.
In fact, the beginning was most intriguing, around the history of soy, it's advocates and of course the contemprorary "pushing" of soy isn't so contemporary after all. I wish t I didn't read this cover to cover, it tended to be quite redundant, by the time I was a third of the way through, I just started skimming for things I hadn't actually read yet. I wish there was a little more about this, including the environmental impact, which was mentioned but not in the detail I would have liked.
The moral of th story, don't eat soy unless it's fermented!!! Jul 10, Christy Peterson rated it it was amazing Shelves: health-and-nutrition. I hope and pray that everyone is now learning how devestating eating soy in non-trational forms is. Traditonal forms of soy are fermented soy sauce, natto, miso and tempeh. There are 41 pages of small print references to back up the mountain of horrific evidence presented in this book.
Very thorough. I taught a class based on this book at my chapter meeting and don't feel like waxing long in a review, but could if I really wanted to. Maybe sometime I will add to this. My heart goes out t I hope and pray that everyone is now learning how devestating eating soy in non-trational forms is. My heart goes out to all those who have have their health ruined because of the corruption behind this "food. Apr 03, Amelia rated it liked it. The information in this book is "must know" but this almost page book is a little long to read fully.
Basically, stay away from soy. We're at the mercy of the government and food industry on the misinformation we're getting about the nutritional benefits of soy. It's a poison from being packed with estrogen bad for men and preventing the absorption of vitamins called an anti-nutrient it should be avoided at all costs.
If you don't read this book, at least be informed. View 1 comment. Mar 20, Zippy rated it liked it. This lengthy project contained much well-researched material, but the arrangement of it and the sometimes ridiculous conclusions drawn from it diminished its authority.
Regardless, I recommend it for anyone who has children or who intends to have children, for vegans, vegetarians, and people who consume a lot of soy for any reason. Sep 13, Jodi rated it really liked it. This got really academic and difficult to read in parts, but I am still giving it 4 stars because the material contained within is so amazingly important. What a fascinating read, I will never look at the entire soy industry to same again. View 2 comments.
Jan 12, Michael is currently reading it. In The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan begins grappling with vegetarianism by reading Animal Liberation while dining at a steakhouse. Nov 12, Grandma Judy rated it it was amazing. Tells you why you should eat anything that's soy soymilk, soy flour, tofu, etc. Apr 18, Marie rated it it was amazing. People everywhere need to read The Whole Soy Story. It allows you to see what our government really does and how little they care about taking care of its people!
Jan 20, Fed rated it it was amazing. This book woke me up. We talk about soy a lot as a health food, which it is. But, not the way we produce it, process it, and consume it. Great book for taking some myths out of people's beliefs. Feb 03, Sass marked it as to-read Shelves: dusty-back-shelf. Yes, I'm aware it's on a vegan website.. Mar 06, Selma rated it it was amazing. I found this book chock full of information, so much so that I need to read it again.
There are so many negative affects from Soy products, and I was shocked to find how soy is found in so many common products. A real eye opener. Mar 22, Trisha rated it really liked it. This book is very detailed and a must read for anyone who consumes a lot of soy. The Japanese fermented soy is not the same!
