It sounds like one biased internet opinion piece vs another. Probably, somewhere in the middle lies the truth.

Outlaw, Thank you for the

Outlaw,

Thank you for the wonderful insight into Soy product dangers. I will make sure I send my "tree-hugger" and PETA friends a case of soy milk or any soy product of their choice. I never had a hankering for the nasty stuff myself, other than the disgusting soy burgers I had at various functions, where they had to pinch a penny or two. So these young women nowadays are producing young boys, ready to go straight into the Catholic Seminaries?? From what I see are a bunch of big zombies running around, from the human growth chemicals they are feeding their children, so that they can play varsity football in 7th grade. You can't miss them with their big heads and out of proportion limbs, etc....!! I don't know where the big breast and pubic hair stats for the "American African" girls came from, but, I've lived down south here, for over thirty years and I believe that statistic to be more of the norm, rather than a soy product affliction. So, let these "COOL" moms and dads, keep feeding the soy to their children, and see what mutates!! While I sit back with my dogs, sipping my "non-soy" Starbucks "mocha" Frappy, I will see how your statistics play out. By the way, I like the Hershey's 60% cacao bars. I even throw some into my starbucks (that way my dogs can't have a sip of my drink). Again, thanks for the info, Outlaw!!

So you are telling us that

So you are telling us that our beloved tofu is dangerous to our health? I have to believe that you're saying that just to drive down demand so you can continue to binge on it once the price goes down. Exactly what one would expect from an outlaw.

I have long done that with chocolate, extolled its dangers. If it's dangerous for dogs -- and it is -- then it must be dangerous for us, because most of us are just one step removed from doghood anyway. The truth is, sadly, that chocolate is really good for us, better even than tofu. Until that day, of course, when you can no longer tie your own shoelaces. At that point, the advice is to switch back to tofu.

By the way, does anybody have a clue if there is anything that is actually good for us? And what does it mean if something is good for us? Do we live longer or live better? Or both? Some claim those powers for red wine and even have the audacity to claim that that is why Jesus turned water into wine and then drank wine and ate bread and told us to do that in remembrance. As fate would have it, I grew up in the type of protestantism that believed everything Jesus ever did or said except that. "It wasn't really wine," they say. "And by the way, the Bible is inerrant."

So Outlaw, you just pressed my button and sent me off on a rant that could get published in the Daily Journal causing my mother to have a personal crisis and my dad to tip over his glass of red wine all over her beige carpet. All because of your need to malign tofu.

Soy is very Dangerous to

Outlaw — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:40:04 -0500

Soy is very Dangerous to your health. Here is a list of dangers from the website http://www.soyonlineservice.co.nz

Soy Dangers Summarized
SOY DANGERS:

High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children.

Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic orders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth.

Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women.

Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.

Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body’s requirement for B12.

Soy foods increase the body’s requirement for vitamin D.

Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein.

Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines.

Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and added to many soy foods.

Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys.

SOY INFANT FORMULA — BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR BABIES

Babies fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 22,000 times more estrogen compounds in their blood than babies fed milk-based formula.

Infants exclusively fed soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent of at least five birth control pills per day.

Male infants undergo a “testosterone surge” during the first few months of life, when testosterone levels may be as high as those of an adult male. During this period, baby boys are programmed to express male characteristics after puberty, not only in the development of their sexual organs and other masculine physical traits, but also in setting patterns in the brain characteristic of male behavior.

Pediatricians are noticing greater numbers of boys whose physical maturation is delayed, or does not occur at all, including lack of development of the sexual organs. Learning disabilities, especially in male children, have reached epidemic proportions.

Soy infant feeding—which floods the bloodstream with female hormones that inhibit testosterone—cannot be ignored as a possible cause for these tragic developments. In animals, soy feeding indicates that phytoestrogens in soy are powerful endocrine disrupters.

Almost 15 percent of white girls and 50 percent of African-American girls show signs of puberty such as breast development and pubic hair, before the age of eight. Some girls are showing sexual development before the age of three. Premature development of girls has been linked to the use of soy formula and exposure to environmental estrogens such as PCBs and DDE.

There are countless websites telling of the dangers of soy, and people should do some research. Here is a list of a few sites.

Noodle recipe...

instead of using water, try using a milk or broth for additional flavor.

I do the same when making chocolate cake, when it calls for water I use coffee. It helps the flavor and deepens the color.
