Are you looking for a plant-based diet?
Are you one who's been hearing 'stay away from soy -- it can mess up your hormones" -- or some variation of that?
Keep reading, and maybe this information will help sort out some confusion. And reduce some stress. And give more clarity as you make your choices.
So -- is it about the hormones?? My goodness, after 5000 years of Asians thriving on soy, they've been perfectly capable of procreating.
And, as I understand it, with no character in the written languages for "PMS" or 'hot flashes" or other such hormonal issues,
what's bringing on the concerns about soy?
Is it really the SOY? Or is it something that's happened to the soy?
Here's a powerful article essentially outlining the differences as well as the safety of Shaklee soy products.
Summary: Here are a couple of excepts from the article above:
- "...those who enjoy soy foods can feel comfortable eating as much as three or four servings of these foods per day. This amount provides around 25 grams of protein and about 100 milligrams of isoflavones."
- "...one advantage of consuming soy early in life may be protection against breast cancer. Epidemiologic studies show that consuming approximately one serving of soy per day during childhood and/or adolescence reduces breast cancer risk later in life by as much as 50 percent.
- "...evidence indicates that consuming soy foods may markedly lower risk for chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease."
- ...the evidence clearly shows that soy foods do not exert feminizing effects (on men).
- "clinicians no longer need to advise against soy consumption for women diagnosed with breast cancer"
Please reference the article for complete context and information.
Here's an insightful interview with an MD with still more favorable information and references.
As one of our top Shaklee scientists* says: "There's 5000 years of history of Asian families who have depended on soy and thrived."
He's of Chinese heritage, says he's used soy all his life, and smiles as he says he's also father of 2 healthy grown daughters.
Here's another valuable perspective on the safety of soy-- when it's correctly sourced and processed. (@6 min)
Safety of Soy -- an excellent resource article directly from Shaklee Health Sciences.
