Last week I made mention of soy and why men who are getting “moobs” ought to take a serious look at banning it from their food program.
Scores of emails came in supporting my position – a couple arrived telling me how wrong I was, that the studies on soy did not follow proper protocol, and so on.
Reminds me of the arguments in favor of aspartame, sucralose and other artificial sweeteners found in diet sodas, protein powders and everything else. I’ve sat and watched a medical man dump three packs of Sweet n Low into a single iced tea – then tell me that the attacks on artificial sweeteners are not “peer-reviewed.”
What’s a peer review?
You send me your article for publication. I read it. And if I agree or decide it has some merit, I publish it. It doesn’t mean your position is correct. It just means that your findings got published.
I realize this makes it difficult to know which is which and what is what.
That’s why I believe in SELF-TESTING.
Read the varying opinions, then find out for yourself by banning certain foods and drinks from your program to see what happens.
For example, if you don’t think diet sodas are bad for you, then go 30 days without them – then reintroduce them into your diet and note the changes.
Oddly enough, when I first wrote about the perils of diet soda – we received hundreds of emails from readers who took my advice. Not only did they lose weight, but they stopped having headaches, seizures and all sorts of other health issues.
Tell this to some M.D.’s who don’t believe what I’ve written and they’ll roll their eyes in disdain and say that your stories are “anecdotal.” Code for saying “moot point” or “don’t bother me with your personal facts, my mind is already made up.”
When it comes to soy, in all it’s forms and guises, I think you’ll be stunned with what you discover.
First, soy is touted as a health food – so it’s tossed into a great
deal of our food supply. From the soy beans in Asian restaurants, to soy milk to soy sauce to tofu to soy lecithin and soy protein.
I even go so far as to say “read the labels on your supplements.”
You may be shocked that soy is in your daily fiber mix – or that soy lecithin is in your fish oil. You’ll find it in your protein bars – even mixed into certain smoothie formulas.
In an ACAI berry smoothie mix it says 100% pure on the front label. But if you read the ingredients, it isn’t so pure after all because the final ingredient reads, “0.5% Soy lecithin.”
Perhaps you don’t think that’s enough soy lecithin to do any harm. Think again.
Second, over 80% of soy worldwide is GMO – meaning it is genetically modified – or not exactly real. I was telling this to an Asian family recently who vehemently objected. “Soy in our country is good for you.” The lady pulled a package of tofu from the refrigerator to show me how good. I looked at the bottom and read, in plain English, “genetically engineered.”
Third, soy contributes to osteoporosis in women and a host of other hormonal problems in both male and female.
Anyway, there’s much more I can tell you on the positive side of eating, especially about the art of making a kick-butt weight loss smoothie.
