Question: Is Micheal Portillo as acceptable as soya-based products? I was just wondering if Micheal Portillo was as socially acceptable as soya-based products or if his past has tempered this?

Answer: Such an question can only be answered through the use of Hegel's dialectic. The thesis (Michael Portillo) reacts against the antithesis (soya-based products) to bring about a synthesis (Daily Mail scare stories about non-organic foods.) Regarding the status of acceptability, it is likely that Portillo is more socially-acceptable given his rôle on 'Daily Politics' which is denied to soya-based products.

Question: What wil be health complications when one take soya products when taking Thyroid medications?

Answer: Soy products interfere with the uptake of iodine in the body - especially non-fermented soy, like tofu. It contains substances called goitrogens that block iodine from your body. If you are taking Thyroid medications, they are probably the actual thyroid hormones themselves and already contain the needed iodine. So soy won't have an effect on your medications. Soy will still block iodine, which is used in a lot of other functions in your body - it's a disinfectant (put in the water it works like, but better than, chlorine). Inside your body, it is present in the stomach and mouth where it kills germs that can make you sick. Soy is present in most of the processed foods you eat - it's the oil in "vegetable oil." It's the oil that used in bread and pastries. It's fed to cows and farm animals instead of grass because it's cheaper. We get way too much soy in our diets. I go out of my way to avoid them myself. But you will hear a lot of other people say that it is good for you. Please check more for yourself. There are a lot of better things to eat - fruits, vegetables, nuts.

Question: Are soya and/or soya based products good for you ?especially if its consumed on a daily basis ?

Answer: Soy products are high in phytic acid which can block minerals from being absorbed in the body. Soy products also block your body's ability to uptake thyroid hormone, so if you are hypothyroid, avoid soy. The only soy that is safe is the fermented kind, i.e..tempeh, miso, natto, ect..

Question: soya products.... healthy or not?? i heard that soya milk and other food products are actually not as healthy as you'd think they are???? i was told that these food products are made from the by products of soya?? what is the actual main product of soya? and has any one else heard of this too?

Answer: Soya is a bean and is used in a lot of products we not usually associate with it. Almost all ready meals that we buy in the supermarket have some kind of Soyan in them, and even Ice cream usually have soya. There is a lot to say for soya, and some health expert bless it(so-to-speak), but it has another side... Soya is one of those products were you no longer can get organic verities. They have been genetically modified for as long as we have known about Genetics, and we just don't know what effect it will have in the end. It is also a product that is very hard to produce as 'Fair Trade' because the world production is so controlled(by 3 big organisations/companies) so it is not that 'healthy' for the world as a whole. It is however very important for most vegetarians, since there protein intake can be limited, as soya is a very good non-animal source of Protein.

Question: Are soya products really healthy? I heard that certain kinds are really bad for you...? I think it has something to do with unfermented and fermented soya. Is anyone clued up with this?

Question: Is Soya products good for you?

Answer: That depends. As Beebs pointed out, you want to stay away from genetically engineered soy. Look for NON GMO on the label. Soy, as God made it, is very good. It's so versitile. Tofu, miso, soy flour, soy milk. Loaded in nutrition, easy to digest. There are a lot of alarming articles out there about the dangers of soy. Those articles refer to foods that have been "created" such as soy cheese and the multitude of "veggie meats" that are soy based. They are highly processed. Highly chemicalized. And not good for you. Better than meat, true. But there are healthier ways to live.

Question: Is soya products bad for women? Kindly advise if soya products when taken daily, (like nutrisoy reduced sugar) is bad for health in the long run? Does it cause cancer or anything like that?

Answer: Traditional Diets Cargill has received "self-determined" GRAS status for its AdvantaSoyTMClearTM isoflavone supplement to be used as an additive for beverages, nutrition bars, yoghurt, meal replacements and confections. The summaries of studies below provide ample proof of the dangers of adding phytoestrogens (isoflavones) to common foods. Deleterious effects include endocrine disruption, thyroid suppression, immune system suppression, suppression of sperm production, DNA breakage and increased incidence of leukemia, breast cancer, colon cancer, infertility, growth problems and subtle changes in sexually dimorphic behaviors. It has been argued that high levels of soy isoflavones such as genistein, daidzein and genistin in Asian diets protect the inhabitants of Japan and China from certain degenerative diseases, especially breast and prostate cancer. Actually, consumption of soy in traditional Asian diets is low. A 1975 report lists soyfoods as minor sources of protein in Japan and China.1 Major sources of protein listed were meat including organ meats, poultry, fish and eggs. Average isoflavone consumption in Asian diets ranges from 3-28 mg/day, as shown in the table below. Studies indicate that isoflavone consumption at levels slightly exceeding those found in tradition diets results in thyroid suppression and endocrine disruption. The AdvantaSoyTMClearTM supplement would add 30-50 mg of isoflavones to a 100-gram serving of various common western foods, levels that exceed the amounts found in traditional diets and that are in the range of levels shown to cause problems, especially for sensitive individuals. Note that this level is also greater than the amount provided by 25 mg soy protein isolate, the amount determined by the FDA to warrant a health claim. It is not only possible but likely that many individuals will consume two or more servings of foods to which the Cargill isoflavones have been added, especially as these foods will be promoted with much advertising touting their health benefits. Two or more servings of such foods would provide 60-100 mg isoflavones per day, an amount that provides the estrogen equivalent of the contraceptive pill2 and one that clearly poses dangers after only a brief period of daily intake.
