Hi.The thing is studies can contradict each other, and some of pro-soy studies could be called into question. For example, Dr Lon White, who's a senior neuroepidemiologist, showed trough his studies that two or more servings of tofu a week could lead to accelerated brain aging. About the conflicts of interest, the first link mentionned in the description box of this video presents a study led "the executive director of the Soy Nutrition"... Also, the "Soy Online Service", a small group of private citizens that wants to inform about the potential dangers of soy, has talked to a representative of Protein Technologies, a world-leading innovator in the fields of recombinant proteins, that apparently said "they had teams of lawyers to crush dissenters, could buy scientists to give evidence, owned television channels and newspapers" and "could divert medical schools and could even influence governments". This group reminds us that the soy industry is a wealthy and powerful multi-billion dollar industry, as the dairy industry... So we should be carefull, and always try to listen to both sides.

Soy has been a staple food in east asia for millennia. Even if you eat soy regularly as a westerner, chances are you don't even come close to the average Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian, etc, citizen in terms of soy consumption. If it had all those problems, we'd see wide spread issues across the billions of people there unless there's some kind of genetic protection they have, which there's no evidence of.

I find that my reaction to soy varies wildly for different soy. The Natura brand soy milk gives me sores on my face. The Chinese brand soy milk make my throat swollen. Ive tried soy based milk powder that makes my breasts hurt, and probably worsens my menstrual cramps. Solid soy products are seemingly fine. I find that soy is one of the most processed foods, and can be wildly different in quality. If you are vegan, then soy can be a great staple in your diet, but if you are paleo, then you realize that it is not serving your purposes.

@DH-uw3us 8 ай бұрын

I never had an issue with soy until I started eating soy protein bars daily. Then I started getting horrible bloating, my period was late, breasts were sore all the time, etc. This would happen when I ate tofu as well. So I gave up the protein bars and only ate tofu/tempeh on occasion.

@BeUnadulterated 8 ай бұрын

Is it possible that it is not the soy that causes the reaction but another ingredient? You mention solid tofu not being as problematic which most likely has the most amount of soy in that tofu is typically just three ingredients. Soy beans, water, and a coagulation agent. Soy milk tends to have more ingredients. Have you ever had Edamame? Do you have a reaction to it?

@connieh.4212 8 ай бұрын

@@BeUnadulterated hard to say. I think I feel a little bloating from tofu/edamame but not sure. I probably eat less than one cup of tofu at any given time, and always with other food, so the effects are not obvious to me. Other plant milks don’t cause any hormonal symptoms so, I think it has something to do with soy itself, or its processing or farming.

1. *Soy does not affect our hormones:* The phytoestrogens and isoflavones in soy products are healthy and *protect against diseases.* The phytoestrogens in soy - unlike the estrogens in animal products - are not endocrine disruptors (substances that have an estrogen-like effect like BPA or 8-PN in beer) because phytoestrogens bind to the beta estrogen receptors, resulting in *positive effects* , and animal estrogens bind to the alpha estrogen receptors, resulting in *negative effects* like breast growth and cancer growth. This large 2021 study debunks the unscientific myths (carnistic propaganda) against soy: *Neither soyfoods nor isoflavones warrant classification as endocrine disruptors: a technical review of the observational and clinical data* 2. The study also looked at *the effects of isoflavones on the thyroid gland:* Conclusions: Concerns about goitrogenic effects of isoflavones are based primarily on the results of in vitro and animal studies. Incontrast to this research, extensive clinical data show that isoflavones, even when intake greatly exceeds typical Japanese intake, do not adversely affect T4 or T3 in euthyroid individuals. Less research has focused on the effects of isoflavones in those with a compromised thyroid function such as subclinical hypothyroid patients and/or whose iodine intake is marginal, but the studies that have involved such individuals do not raise concerns.

@@ostamaza22-yt4sq: Almost everyone living in "civilized" society today should supplement B12, because almost no one has a functional microbiome; a fully functional microbiome would readily synthesize B12 in the small intestine where it's absorbed, provided you consume sufficient bioavailable cobalt (primarily from fully ripe fruit). That goes for people who eat animal products too, as they experience deficiencies at alarmingly high rates. There's also vitamin D, which cannot be derived in the amounts required from any other source than sufficient sunlight at a steep enough angle for UVB (not even consuming the livers of the fattiest fish that has been basking all its life in the sunlight would be even remotely enough), so if you live at mid-high latitudes you have to supplement it for optimal health. Note that the reason people need these two supplements are entirely due to living unnatural lifestyles with regards to what we're physiologically adapted to as a species, as we evolved in the tropical equatorial rainforest for tens of millions of years, where we'd both be exposed to abundant sunlight at the steepest angles, as well as a plethora of bacteria that would provide B12 synthesis in the microbiome. So your question is ultimately not quite right, because it seems to presuppose that only the person you asked needs to supplement, whereas you most likely do too, unless you're living closer to the tropics and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables straight from nature.

I think due to the money involved in overconsumption no studies can be trusted in either direction, let alone the degradation in the quality of research due to fundseeking incentives. Let alone the financial incentives in sensationalising social media. In addition we are learning there is no one size fits all in genetic diversity. In short, follow your own path, keep your own data, adjust as needed.

@@TheVeganGym :) okay thank you so much for the quick response. I was concerned about the phytoestrogens in general and how many including doctors here link it to breast cancer hence I have been avoiding soy and its products for ever.

@@shikhab2250 Not really. I don't know where you live so I can't answer definitively, but EU doesn't allow GMO soy for human consumption, and east Asia does not use GMO soy either as far as I know. Not sure about South America, Africa or Australia though. But as mentioned in the video, GMO soy is primarily used for animal feed. And apart from that, there's been a lot of studies on GMO soy for decades now and everything points to it being totally safe as well. So I would pick something else to worry about ;)

@@shikhab2250For the life of me I don’t get how people just trust other people so easily once they say science says this or that even when we see in 2023 you should not. Trust your instincts and how something affects you personally. The mind is a powerful thing and more importantly no one person is the same and reacts the same. How many times you hear doctors years after saying one thing coming back to say they were wrong. Stop trusting KZfaqrs also, go do your own research for you.

@@rodaangeleyes I agree I was totally naive about health and healthy eating all these years when I was in usa I used to eat somewhat consciously due to the abundance of fast food which was new to me and super convenient for a busy life style but I realized it's not good for sustenance and being a non cook though I ate out I still tried to make green smoothes like simple stuffs to compensate somewhat. Now that I have returned to India (my home country) i realize fresh fruits and veggies are in abundance but there is no quality control what so ever and living in usa for so long has kind of made me paranoid about gmo stuffs the doctors here are not the best people to talk about nutrition and with so many contradicting info avaliable it's hard to settle down. That's why I am glad I found your channel and you being a vegan really helps since I prefer vegetables even though I am not a vegan myself. I have cottage cheese readily available and people here eat tons of soy bean but obviously these are not organic and that spikes my fear india is very very bad at quality control so to be safe I eat the very basic fruits and vegetables and lentils pulses beans nuts etc

Do research on the effects soy has on your thyroid. So yes it does effect your hormones.

@TheVeganGym 8 ай бұрын

@VeganDPsiiclox 8 ай бұрын

1. *No, soy does NOT affect our hormones:* The phytoestrogens and isoflavones in soy products are healthy and *protect against diseases.* The phytoestrogens in soy - unlike the estrogens in animal products - are not endocrine disruptors (substances that have an estrogen-like effect like BPA or 8-PN in beer) because phytoestrogens bind to the beta estrogen receptors, resulting in *positive effects* , and animal estrogens bind to the alpha estrogen receptors, resulting in *negative effects* like breast growth and cancer growth. This large 2021 study debunks the unscientific myths (carnistic propaganda) against soy: *Neither soyfoods nor isoflavones warrant classification as endocrine disruptors: a technical review of the observational and clinical data* 2. The study also looked at *the effects of isoflavones on the thyroid gland:* Conclusions: Concerns about goitrogenic effects of isoflavones are based primarily on the results of in vitro and animal studies. Incontrast to this research, extensive clinical data show that isoflavones, even when intake greatly exceeds typical Japanese intake, do not adversely affect T4 or T3 in euthyroid individuals. Less research has focused on the effects of isoflavones in those with a compromised thyroid function such as subclinical hypothyroid patients and/or whose iodine intake is marginal, but the studies that have involved such individuals do not raise concerns.
