Know Soya

that it’s a low-calorie, complete source of protein, it can help reduce cholesterol and heart disease risk, and some studies have even found that the isoflavones in soy have anti-cancer benefits. The result: Good things are said about soy, so people flood their diet with it. 

 Soy can be quite detrimental to your health, and that the isoflavones can interfere with your endocrine system and hormone balance. This can possibly reduce fertility in women, contribute to premature puberty, and has even been linked to certain cancers and conditions like gyecomastia (male breast development) when consumed in large amounts.

Soy’s estrogen-like compounds certainly raises a red flag, the kind found in soy are plant estrogens, not the exact same kind that humans make. What’s more, they’re far less potent, with approximately 1/1000th of the estrogen strength that the real-deal human estrogen has. “It’s not like when you eat soy, it’s exactly the equivalent of taking a hormone pill, high quantities of soy  may cause breast cancer and it is more danger to those who already were diagnosed with the disease and therefore estrogen sensitive. So, yes, eating any soy would be a risk [for them], for sure.”

Soy products are very high in phytic acid, which can interfere with mineral absorption.So, despite claims that soy helps prevent osteoporosis, foods that contain phytic acid can actually interfere with the absorption of minerals, possibly leading to mineral deficiencies. Whereas soaking and sprouting other grains and legumes can remove the phytic acid, that does not work with soy, and the only way to neutralize the phytic acid in soy is to ferment it.
