Dangers of Soy Products
Return to
Soy Info Online!
A number of recent articles have been published about potential dangers of soy.
A person who ocassionally ingests traditionally-processed soy products
(miso, tempah, natto, tofu) and otherwise has a balanced, healthy diet and
lifestyle will not have to be overly-concerned with the potential dangers of soy.
However, those who eat soy regularly, especially products with
heavily-processed or genetically-manipulated soy ingredients should pay close
attention to the issues relating to the potential dangers of soy products.
The following web pages contain articles on the potential dangers of soy products.
After looking through these web pages, please come back to
Soy Info Online! and look below for a discussion
on how to best ingestion soy products for health and safety.
There are three ways to get the benefits of soy products and avoid the
possible dangers of soy products:
- Avoid non-organic, genetically-manipulated soy ingredients. See the following
web page for more information:
http://www.soyinfo.com/haz/gehaz.shtml.
- Avoid heavily-processed soy ingredients such as soy protein isolate,
soy protein concentrate, hydrolyzed soy protein, texturized soy protein.
These ingredients are will not provide any significant health benefits and may
cause health problems as discussed above. Instead use traditionally-processed
soy products such as miso, tempeh, tofu, natto, and soy milk.
- Use soy products ocassionally. Eating miso soup several times per week and having
tempeh or tofu in a dish a couple of time per week is fine. Use
other legumes or lean meats to
get the bulk of your protein.
