THE DANGERS OF SOYA FOR LADIES
Something to take note of. This is my true story, nothing altered.
These are facts, as they relate to my experience, my opinions based on
what I have read and felt. I am relating them to warn other young
health-conscious women who are unwittingly harming themselves.
In 1989, I graduated from high school in Texas and couldn't wait to
hit the big college city. One of the changes I wanted to make was to eat
healthier.
Once I moved to health-conscious Austin, Texas, I began to fortify my
body with the best and healthiest foods I could find. Tofu was the main
ingredient in every healthy dish and I bought soya milk almost every day
and used it for everything from cereal to smoothies or just to drink for a
quick snack. I bought soya muffins, miso soup with tofu, soybeans, soybean
sprouts, etc. All the literature in all the health and fitness magazines
said that soya protected you against everything from heart disease to
breast cancer. It was the magical is oflavones, the estrogen-like hormones
that all worked to help you stay young and healthy. I looked great, I was
working out all the time, but my menstrual cycle was off. At 20, I started
taking birth control pills to regulate my
menstrual cycle.
In addition to this I began to suffer from painful periods. I began
to get puffy, it was as though I was losing my muscle tone. I began to
suffer
from depression and getting hot flushes. I mistook all this for PMS since
my periods were irregular. By the time I was 25, my periods were so bad, I
couldn't walk.
The birth control pills never made them regular or less painful so I
decided to stop taking them. I went on like this for another two years
until I realized my pain wasn't normal. At 27, my gynecologist found two
cysts in my uterus. Both were the size of tennis balls. I went through
surgery to have them removed and thank God they were benign. The
gynecologist told me to go back on birth control pills. I didn't. In 1998,
he discovered a lump in my breast. Again, I went through surgery and again
it was benign.
In November 2000 my glands swelled up and my gums became inflamed.
Thinking I had a tooth infection I went to the dentist who told me that
teeth were not the problem. After a dose of antibiotics the swelling still
did not go down. At this point I could feel a tiny nodule on the right
side of my neck. I told my mother I had thyroid trouble. She thought I was
being silly. No one in the family suffered from thyroid trouble. Going on a
hunch I saw a specialist who diagnosed me with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
After a series of tests he told me it was cancer. My fiance and I sat
stunned. We were not prepared and I was so scared. We scheduled surgery
right away. The specialist told us that it would only be after the
operation that a pathologist would be able to tell us for sure if it was
cancer. They
found a tumor in my right lobe composed of irregular cells and another
smaller tumor growing on the left, so the entire thyroid was removed.
They told me that after undergoing radioactive iodine I would be safe
and assured me that I could live a long life. After treatment I began to
search for the cause of all these problems. I never once thought it could
be all the soya I had consumed for nearly ten years. After all, soya is
healthy.
I came upon a web page that linked thyroid problems to soya intake
and the conspiracy of soya marketed as a health food when in fact it is only
a
toxic by-product of the vegetable oil industry. This was insane, after all,
the health and fitness magazines had said nothing about soya being harmful.
I visited a herbalist who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 1985.
She informed me that soya was the culprit. She had a hysterectomy due to
cysts and other uterine problems. A few months later another acquaintance
who had consumed soya came down with thyroid cancer. A girl in England I
met through the Internet in a thyroid cancer forum had just undergone
surgery
and she was only 19.
What was going on???? Breast cancer is linked to estrogen. What
mimics estrogen in the female body, SOYA!
But I never suspected soya because until now I never once found a
single article that stated soya could be dangerous. Women who took soya
prior to thyroid problems will continue to take it after if they are not
aware of what soya actually does what it contains and how it reacts in the
female body. I think this is the reason that women with thyroid cancer
often develop breast cancer later.
My co-worker is big into soya and I see her losing hair and gaining
weight despite a walking workout during her break and after work, and
apples and oranges for lunch. She just had cysts removed from her uterus
too.
I warned her to stay off soya. I referred her to websites but until it is
on the evening news on all four networks, women will suffer. Since the
thyroidectomy I do not touch soya, haven't for two years.
Dear readers, please use my story in any way you can. There are so
many young girls who are consuming soya because they think they are taking
care
of themselves, and women taking soya because they want to be healthy.
It is so unfair that the information about the dangers of soya isn't more
widely circulated. It is sad. There are many out there who feel this way
and it is a terrible blow when you realize you are not as healthy as you
thought and that the information that you depended on was wrong.

Please take care everyone …… this may or may not be absolutely correct but at least we all need to keep this in mind.
I don't know about the skin. I do know they are good for your inside.
Are you eating them or putting them on your skin? A good thing for your skin is fish oil, don`t freak, there are fish oil capsules, they work from the inside out, a couple capsules a day. You`ll notice a difference.
well soybeans.... r real rich source of proteins ( it has 36% proteins)... proteins are very good for whole of body... including skin..
Yes definately. Soy beans contain lots of protein, as well as trace amounts of estrogen, which help keep you from aging and reduce cholestral.
yes its wonderful
i think they are.
but for women,too much make can make you have cancer
Maybe, but I doubt it. Admittedly I only did a very short search on google, but I found nothing convinving either way.
