I’ve been using soy since the late ‘70’s when I was in high school, raised 9 kids on soy and now several of my grandkids are drinking soy. We have always been healthy and so are my grandkids. :) Good interview!

I grew up in Asia, no such thing as prostrate issues for men, the Japanese who eat much Tofu, but when they move to the U.S., they then get prostrate issues too, their diet has a lot to do with it. If you ask me, these news about Soy being bad for us is propagated by the "Milk Industry," they know that folks know that cow's milk is not good for them. Thank you so much Dr. Bernard and staff for showing us the way to proper nutrition!

I have been eating soy for 2 years and I am a guy. No man boobs here actually I have got a lot of muscle gains since being plant based.

1952 I was born. My mother had 3 boys before me. When I came along she said she was too tired to breast feed me. So for 3 months I supposedly screamed day and night on formula. My mother a narcissistic individual enjoyed telling me how I made her life a living hell. Father and mother took turns walking me. She relished this story with adding that she wanted to throw me out the window. It took 3 mos for her to ask another doc what to do with me. He immediately switched me to soy formula. Screaming stopped. I have to say my life in this family became a fearful nightmare for me growing up. I left immediately at graduation age 18.

Started making soy milk at home a few weeks ago to help with bone thinning in my senior years. I am now 73 years old and plan to continue daily consumption of my soy milk and periodic tofu consumption. This topic is fascinating. Thank you for the interview!

I attribute eating soy to never having hot flashes or negative effects during menopause... in some Asian countries they don’t even have a word for hot flashes... they eat lots of soy....

I appreciate all of this info packed into such a short interview. In the future, can you please include a link in the video description to the main study/ies discussed? It would help those of us who like to geek out on the research, without having to search for the studies mentioned.

This was such a useful conversation. As a dietitian that works a lot with the oncology population, it has always been a hot topic of discussion. Soy is such a useful protein choice especially for my patients who insist on going plant-based after a cancer diagnosis. Thank you!

My son has been vegetarian for years and he believes the reporting that Soy is bad... he won’t eat soy at all.. I sent him this video... hopefully it will change his mind...

Dr. Messina info is pure gold. Thanks for the interview.

I'm a proud soy boi I have either a litre of soy milk, or 500g of soy yoghurt each day, plus a load of edamame or tofu with most meals.

Thank you so much. I've been plant based for 6 weeks now and have hypothyroidism. So I've been panicking because soya beans and tofu have been helping me to not think too much about animal products. So glad it's old news about people with hypothyroidism not being able to consume soya foods.

Eating lunch enjoying a soy curl wrap and getting happier and happier about it haha

So informative and useful. Great to debunk old information. I forwarded this youtube to a few people. Thank you Chuck and Dr. Messina.

Very informative thank you, my daughter who’s now 31 has been vegan since before she was born so got a lot of soya her whole life. It’s nice to know It has helped her health

People are afraid of the phyto-hormones in tofu but find the milk very healthy when it's packed full of estrogen and progesterone - and of course growth hormones and others.

Before going vegan my cycle was 25 days and now it is 28. Definitely thinking it could be the soy… 🙌

There are so many cancers that are running rapid in children. Infants are given soymilk formulas all the time, a lot of them are allergic to it and there could be some good reasons why.

I decided to start eating tofu and about a couple days of eating it I broke out with tiny pimples all over my face. Didn't link to the tofu. Kept eating it. My period that was regular for years was all of a sudden irregular. I'm sure that someone will say it's something else I did. But all I know is that after I took out the tofu my skin cleared after a week and period went back to normal. Listen to your body. If it works for you great. But not everyone is the same.

Thank you! I can't imagine living without regularly eating tofu stir fry, adding soy milk to my coffee or snacking on edamame. I've heard a lot of animal eaters spew false information against soy, and appreciate all the information here that confirms the healthiness of this powerful plant food.

If we observe the longevity of the Japanese population the answer becomes self evident. I will never give up my natto, miso, shoyu, tempeh (Indonesia), edamame, tofu ... The list is long 😂 I am not very fond of industrialized soy stuff though.

Great information I really needed to know about soy,because I have thyroid. Thank you so much

Wow. I just made soy milk again and cultured it into soygurt. Next I'm going to turn it into tofu. So good and so economical.

I love this unbiased and objective interview with the executive director of the Soy Nutrition Institute you are fanboying over! It helped me lower my "health IQ" a bit and that's good. Blessed are the not that smart. I was searching for interviews about milk and dairy, red meat, butter, lard and chips you made with the executive directors of the nutritional, promotional, Interprofessional Organization and Product Boards assiciated with the respective product categories. Could you please provide me the links? Thanks in advance. I'm not hating on you or soy. I consume soy in multiple forms. I just want to get the whole picture.

This is truthful information for the benefit of humans, unlike some "foundation" I won't mention, paid by the farming lobby, whose only interest is money and don't care who suffers in the process. Thanks for your valuable work, PCRM and Chuck. ❤️

I make organic soy milk, too, with a lovely soy milk machine and it is so delicious in coffee and chia seed pudding. I have been consuming soy since my 30's (now 71) and I had no hot flashes at all. Absolutely love soy!

I am Chinese. I have been eating soy food since childhood and I have no health issue at all!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful 🙏 information on soy. My family and I ate soy products for years, then stopped eating it because of the negative information. I didn't have any problems with hot flash during menopause.

Great video! Soy is king 👑. Went vegan 3+ years and increased soy, beans, legumes consumption, no problems at all.

It is great to have such info... we need to be well informed... and truly helped with my questions 👍

Have started eating a lot more tofu since I realized that the reason I didn't care much for it is that restaurants tend to just whack up big chunks of it and throw it in. Once I started preppping my own in smaller cubes and started learning how to season and bake it I really started to like it.

I love tofu which I eat almost everyday as part of my meal and of course soya milk. I seldom eat meat. My mens cycle is normal ever since i was young, haven't encountered any issues.

Thanks, Chuck!! Us women appreciate you asking about our health, too!! 🌱💪🏽💚

Sharing this to Facebook to crush those bro science myths

Amazing video, and great questions, thanks very much! I think some of the bad rep for soy came from the meat industry which saw soy as a legitimate competition!

Brilliantly useful information update. Thank you

I am not vegan but I do include natto and non-GMO tofu in my diet. I have never experienced bad effects from eating soy. People who have problems from eating soy are most likely allergic to soy and should avoid eating it.

I ate soy for decades because I was told it was healthy food and I was fighting for bad aches for decades as well. Once I read that soy is actually bad. Not sure why I decided to experiment to cut all soy from my diet . Sure enough, all my acnes were gone , skin is clear like it’s supposed to be. I did food allergy test and the lab result showed I have no allergy to food.

9 years estrogen posetive Breast Cancer free this year also 9 years Vegan this year ...eating soy regularly ..Tofu , Tempeh , soy milk , soy curls all delicious

THANK YOU so much for this interview -very informative.

Soy in good quality will give you a boost and vitality- meats will kill you and it makes me laugh how people fear a little Tofu cube lol 😂

Tofu, peas and corn seasoned with Braggs was a staple for our girls growing up...their favorite! Love all the science that makes soy ( we eat our 2.5 servings a day!) such a wonderful source of nutrition! Long time listener! Chuck really appreciate your excellent interview skills and all your 5 star guests!

All these "doctors" on the internet like Dr. Berg who speak badly about soy, really don't know what they are talking about. Doctors get very little education in nutrition in med school. They cherry pick out a few studies, and ignore 99% of studies showing soy is healthy to consume. My mother in law has hypothyroidism, so I was always a bit concerned about her eating soy foods with me and my wife, since we are vegetarian. Glad to know it's safe for her to consume.

My hormones have been changing over the past few years. I was just thinking yesterday that I have had absolutely no hot flushes or night sweats. I have been drinking organic soya milk in tea and coffee for years and often eat plain organic soya yoghurt with fruit for breakfast.

Glad you did this interview. Thank you. We eat soybeans none GAO. I hoped this Dr. would have addressed that. That is important. I make fries out off tofu in my hot air fryer. They are so good. Organic tofu is the best.

I’d love to see Dr. Barnard brought in as he has had success with reversing endometriosis with the WFPB diet and with soy, also, I believe. If you have another interview with Mark Messina, PhD, I’d be curious to find out if the endometriosis study with soy was to also reject all dairy products. The same goes for breast and prostate cancer. In a fire, you can put out the flames in one room, but if you are starting the fire and won’t stop lighting it up at the same time, what sort of a show of success is that for soy?

Awesome! He is so informative 🙌👍

After my hot flash has started for 3 weeks or so this year, I started to eat soy products (Tofu, Tempe, Miso etc) every day then after only about a week, hot flash was gone and it has not been back! Unbelievable!

This is SO misunderstood by MDs, including oncologists. Women still think soy products will give them breast cancer, as they were told by doctors years ago that soy promotes breast cancer. Please use some of your efforts to present this information to the segment of the medical community that has a profound influence on health - doctors. Need to also point out that Asian countries have very low incidences of breast cancer with high intakes of soy.

Glad i finally listened to this. Been vegetarian for 1 year. I was vegan for a bit and when my baby was 8 months old got pregnant again, so Ive been eating eggs and cheese on occasion (cant help myself!) I'm always nervous about my soy consumption and nervous giving my now 13 month old soy. My intuition tells me its safe but I've always felt conflicted. Thanks ;D

What about it's impact on fibroids? So many women believe that it makes them grow and worsen.

I like slices of firm tofu marinated in tamari, then baked...so simple but tasty.

Very interesting and thankful for the friend who recommended me this channel..... I get to know a lot science-based information. Thank you for uploading

What about GMO soy? I would love to know the research related to genetically modified soy. Does it change how it is metabolized at all?

This is brilliant! Thank you.

Thanks for this video! Trying to find ways to incorporate soy into my diet without adding processed foods and gaining weight, as it contains more fat/serving than I usually prefer to eat.

Jury is still out. This guy is not a impartial scientist, he's a industry lobbyist. Simply look at his site. It speaks for itself.

Thank you for clarifying the negative notion on soy ....I desperately needed this after a doctor this week told my 17 y/o twins that they needed to stay away from it because it would only grow them a butt and boobs ....ugh !😳 I had my boys listen to this as well .

I'm wondering if these studies did GMO soy or organic soy and was there a difference because I got a feeling the gmosoy is probably harmful where is the organic so he's probably healthy please let me know thank you I only buy organic soy by the way it's the only soil touch..

My hot flashes stopped using soy milk. I tested this a few times before coming to that conclusion.

Tofu and soy milk are my almost everyday thing.

Why doesn’t the US import high quality soy from Japan with its high mineral contents?

Tofu is my child's favorite food.

Great to know! Thank you for the interview!

I just read “Eat to Beat Disease “ great information on food

I would rather trust independent studies on soy, rather than studies by scientists that get paid by soy companies.

I like how Chuck comes up with different ways to refer man boobs 😂

Excellent video

this is the choir and the preacher scenario

Thank you for this topic.

I just finished a block of tofu... super anabolic

Excellent interview. Thanks

Nice to see a scientist working in the industry who DOESN'T cherry-pick studies that support his industry-determined conclusions.

I make my own tofu. Taste fresher and better. Just use organic soybean and lemon juice.

The problems with soy I believe start when its used in highly processed forms that are only possible with industrialised means of production. I eat tofu, Tempeh, and edamame the way they've been traditionally produced in Asian countries for centuries, but I avoid all the "westernised" UPFs with hydrolysed soy proteins, refined soybean oils, etc. The book 'Brain Food' touches on this issue, though I can't point to the specific studies. Anyway, the UPFs are the real villain. When soy is used in UPF forms, it will produce negative effects just like how any other ingredient would cause negative effects in UPF forms.

This is a great podcast!

My 3 year old pretends he is going grocery shopping and he usually just buys tofu. Obviously we have been eating a lot lately. I'm glad It's one food that my picky eater always eats.

I wish the study also included the prevalence of hip and knee replacements in countries who used a lot of dairy products in comparison to women who gave up dairy and replaced it with soy and also women who have lived their whole lives or most of their lives using soy and not dairy products.

Thanks Dr. For your informative lecture about soy. Watching from the Philippines.

I miss eating tofu because of the big soy scare. I think it’s so sad that I stopped eating soy products. I love soybeans as a snack. From living in Hawaii in 1971 soy was huge in my diet. Disgusting. Thankyou for this research being brought to light. I have hashimotos and hope adding it back in my diet will help my thyroid malfunction.

He works for the soy industry? Why should I not take what he says with skepticism? He says that he and ten other authors worked on a report. Were those others independent or do they also work for Big Soy? Here's another question not asked. If this fellow had found data that didn't support his soy his soy industry industry bosses, what would he have done with that data, buried it? Published it? I assume that he's a good guy, sure. But you didn't ask him if he was. Still, me wanting him to be a good player the food game doesn't make it so. Instead, I think that absent of these qualifying types of questions - they are the BIG elephant in the room, now - everyone who hears this week interview ought to wonder about "what does 'the other side' say? What do the critics say? What do the naysayers say? No, he did not snswer those issues other than to cite studies and reports, but who funded those studies and reports?

No gmo/ Roundup question?

So many people need to see this

Protein? Who's suffering from a protein deficiency? I never worry about if I'm getting it. Protein's in almost all foods.

The Chinese have been eating soy for millenia. They always rule in the weight lifting competitions. My husband has been eating soy for 2 years, now. He's still just as masculine as before

I love soy, but why do all the people who defend it look like the kind of people I would have an extensive argument with at the dinner table about why the US economy is going into a recession in the next 5 years

Thank you. informative. it is a research based information.

Thank you for your podcasts! My one concern about soy is that majority of the soy produced may be GMO. Would you recommend taking only organic soy?

Well talk for 30 minutes about 400 STUDIES BUT WE WONT BOTHER TO SHARE A SINGLE ONE???BS SHOW US THE DATA!

Why not just look at traditional Japanese diet for tofu results on all age groups?

Thank you so much , for all the Good information on soy !

Great info

There should be some disclosure here in the description of this video. While I am all for soy in my diet (organic) and consume soy milk daily, it should be pointed out that Mr. Messina is also the executive director for the Soy Nutrition Institute. While that is a bit of a conflict of interest, he has worked at the National Cancer Institute which throws him a bit in favor but this is not a very good interview for the benefits of soy in this regard. Government and industry are very closely tied like BigPharma so this was a bit of a blunder on your part. Those of us in the plant-based realm harp on the fact that so much of the faces and research are from industry research like beef, dairy, and eggs. It is important that this is understood for future interviews. When talking about soy (or any other food for that matter), someone should have distance from BigAg. This isn't helping and PCRM should know better than that. I love you guys but I have to say while his information seems pretty solid from my own self-education over the years, he may not have been the best person for the cause, if you will. It's not about the information in a lot of people's minds so much as the connections people have with large industry organizations. PCRM needs to be more selective when inviting people on to discuss these matters. I'm sure he has honest intentions with his research but the appearance of a conflict can really push people the wrong way. I can see low-carb/carnis just drooling over the fact he's in the soy industry. Please use more discretion.

He's obviously pro soy so be speculative

Very informative Thank you.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌝

Soy while an excellent source of protein it is a major allergen. Approximately two million Americans will have a soy allergy. With the many uses of soy it is endangering many. Studies have shown that excess soy has dangerous effects as well, which include seizures in small infants. Makes one wonder if the intense proteins from soy are safe to consume during pregnancies and if they are not the cause of ADHD and autism.

What were the studies Dr. Messina referred to about soy and thyroid hormones?

Thanks

any difference in white soy beans and black soy beans, both organic?

excellent thank you!
