Do you buy into the the Soy scare?!


Question:

Do you buy into the the Soy scare?


Even if they were true, I would much rather take the risk compared to drinking fatty hormone and drug infested milk, not to mention there is no animal cruelty involved.
Is it the Meat and Dairy Industry pulling yet another fast one?

What are your thoughts?

Sorry Paul, Maybe 5% family farm.

95% is tortuous, barbaric milking chambers... Everything is going to kill you nowadays. I go soy for a lot, but I do drink milk. I used to drink soy milk, but I live only 45 minutes from a small farm and I absolutely love milk. I would not go near the "regular" milk, but their farm is great (no hormones, large clean pastures, etc...) so I can enjoy without the guilt :-)
I think there needs to be a differentiation for the organic soy and the bio-engineered soy. It could be that the organic soy is fine and it is the other more "traditionally" manufactured soy that is the problem.
As for the cancer incidences...Researchers don't know what definitively causes cancer. They are trying to give and answer all of the time. It is more reminiscent of shooting in the dark to me. I'll buy soy products, regardless of scares. I love soy margarine. Someone I know loves soy ice cream. We ain't discouraged! Nope. Because it gets to be old hat. ALmost everyday the media is reporting something to be dangerous to our healths. They also seem to love to claim how "this this and this' causes cancer.

I have news for them, if I listened to all their b.s., I would have had to have stopped eating completely, and if that was the case, i would be dead anyway.

I like soy. I will drink it. And your right, much better than regualr milk garbage. I worked in research at Central Soya in the 1970s and 1980s. It's not a "scare", it's research which has been repeatedly verified by independent researchers.

And why do you assume that milk is polluted with hormones and drugs? Most milk in this country is produced on family farms. It's more profitable for them to maintain basic sanitation than to feed their cattle drugs. Corporate farms, of course, have no way to force their employees to be clean. And even the corporate farms are finding that it's cheaper to produce milk without paying for those hormones.

Someone's pulling a fast one - and you're buying. Is it PeTA, that organization that kills tens of thousands of dogs every year at their so-called shelters, rather than letting anyone adopt them? paul ding a ling, peddle it elsewhere.

Why cant people get it through their heads, this a category for VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS. Obviously, no one wants to hear your crusades for milk. A lot of soy products are highly processed. I don't like soy and I don't like dairy. I like almond milk.

I don't think people were meant to consume the amount of soy that so many vegetarians consume.

Personally, too much soy caused me medical problems I am still recovering from. I avoid soy AND animal products and I don't feel like I'm really missing out on anything. no, i don't really buy it.
it does make sense that too much soy can cause breast cancer or something, but meat and dairy are much worse.
everything can kill you, but at least with soy, it's not killing anything else.
