Soy is bad for you????? now wat do i replace dairy with?????
Answers:
That rumor was started by the dairy industry and it's been backed by it's shareholders and also by a particular corporation that sells hormones to most of the world's dairy farmers.
Soy is very good for you.
goat's milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, cream cheese, or calcium supplements.
there realy isnt a decent replacement if soy is ruled out... how about rice milk?
goats milk products. they are the closest to human milk and are absorbed easier than other milks.
That is new to me, I never heard that soy is bad for you in way of drinking it in the milk form, I have heard that the soy oil is not all of that great though, but if you are worried about as I can see you are, then try the Rice Dream or the Almond milk instead.
Or if you want the true form of Soy milk, go to an Asian market and pick up a jug of fresh Soy milk which does not have any added salt or sugar too it. If you never had it like this before you may want to start out by diluting it a little bit at a time in a glass until you get used to it.
When did soy become bad? You just shouldn't eat too much of the same thing and try to avoid the GMO (genetically modified) foods.
I drink soy milk, eat soy yogurt, ice cream, cheese, cream cheese and sour cream. When was it annouced it was "bad?" My doctor recommends it since I am highly allergic to both cow and goats milk.
I guess if you want to stay away from it, then you'll have to switch to rice milk or almond milk products.
no, soy is good for you.. just make sure its from organic...
Dairy, smairy. There is no such thing as a requirment for dairy. The dairy industry lobbied to get dairy as a food group in the food pyramid. All the calcium you need can be obtained from vegetables.
Most soy is genetically modified with all sorts of nasty things. Try rice milk, almond milk, or a combination of those. Its super easy to make homemade, and you can adjust the ingredients. Also, check out rawmilk.com. I tolerated raw milk fine, but cannot tolerate commercial dairy at all
beebs is right the GM soy is not good
i been using soy for half of my protein needs daily, i'm going to replace soy with walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and pine nuts.
Soy isn't bad; you've been picking up some of the junk science cr*p put out by the Weston Price idiots! See my answer to the "antinutrient" question for a hint of why you should ignore the propaganda. You could also search YA for questions about "lectins" for some insight; I'd go into detail here but the subject is getting boring to me
GMO soy...
Soybean plants are rather unusual in that they (as a rule) don't cross-pollinate! That means if I have a plant that matures quickly but offers low yield and another plant that matures slowly and has high yield I can't cross-breed the two to develop a natural hybrid that matures rapidly and gives a high yield of beans.
There are less than less than a hundred 'natural' varieties of soybean that arose from natural mutation. The earliest have Asian names like "Shiritori", "Fujiyama" or "Kwang-qui". After Asian 'railroad workers' brought soybeans to the US a few 'new' forms developed and these typically have women's names like "Dinah","Laura" or "Mabel". These varieties aren't popular with farmers due to relatively low yield and typically are late maturing.
When genetic engineering techniques became available the soybean was an obvious choice to modify because of it's natural lack of hybridization. Scientists were finally able (through gene-splicing) to create varieties that had superior production characteristics. These type plants usually are name after the college that developed them with names like Rutgers I, TAMU IX etc. It's really hard to find fault with these unless you're a true radical!
Monsanto got into the act with their herbicide resistant GMO beans (I can't believe I'm about to defend them
The scary part came when companies decided to go transgenic to put things like B.T. genes into soy to provide 'natural' resistance to insects. These are the scary ones that get implicated in things like the "Star-Link" corn scandal but you need to be aware that farmers hate these also! Companies PAY farmers bonuses to plant these seeds and the product is supposed to go for industrial uses like plastics and such (but we all know about "Star-link" corn
You'll see propagandists making claims that soy has wasp, spider or scorpion genes in it. There are a few laboratory varieties that do, but none have (as yet) been approved for general production or even outdoor field trials! Farmers aren't interested in growing these types and have turned down *huge* bonuses to plant research plots; these transgenic plants account for less than 1% of all soy production.
You might find this link interesting as a source of what's in the *real* news with soybeans and other crops.

so cut it out and don't worry about dairy. just have your healty food.
Too much soy can be bad for women in particular if they are trying to get pregnant, or for children, as it contains a similar chemical to the female hormone oestrogen (hence useful for some during menopause). I know because I kept miscarrying, 5 times, until I cut it out. So you're right to watch how much you eat.
Substitutes include rice and nut milks (almond is my fav). Quorn is also a good solid meat substitute, and comes in ground, patties, tenders and nugget form. Depends on if you are veggie or vegan, as quorn contains egg as a binder.
Soy is not bad if taken in moderation.
What has happened is the increased demand for the product has made some producers use chemicals that are not so good for us.
As far as men goes it has been reported that so ya can increase the oestrogen level in men and thus reduce their fertility rates.
I read an article that mention it was equivalent to giving boys birth control pills.
If you like soy it is still okay to use it in it's fermented form without the same ill effects of tofu and soy milk.
Tamari , Noma Shoyu, miso are soya based but better due to the fermentation process.
You can also use Rice based products like rice milk, rice dream ( ice cream treats) etc.
So do not despair.
