"SOY If you are sensitive to soy check labels for soybean, soy protein isolate, tamari, texturized vegetable protein, soy flour, soy grits, soya, tofu, bean curd, miso, vegetable broth, soy protein, hydrolyzed soy protein, soy oil, soy bean oil and lecithin Read all labels as soy is often in packaged TREATMENT FOR FOOD ALLERGIES/SENSITIVITIES An ideal treatment for food allergies would be to correctly identify and avoid the offending food. It can be difficult to completely avoid certain foods that are hidden in many products." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "To do a soya challenge test, eliminate the following foods for five days: tamari, soy flour, soya beans, soy protein isolate, vegetable protein, soy flour, soya, vegetable broth, soy protein, hydrolyzed soy protein, soy oil, soya bean oil, lecithin and soya lecithin. To do a nut challenge test, eliminate the following foods for five days: all nuts, almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, filberts, hazel nuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, peanuts and walnuts. Many foods are cross contaminated with nuts, so read the labels." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"How much soy protein should be consumed for cardiovascular benefits? Susan M. Potter, Ph.D., and colleagues from the University of Illinois, Urbana, wanted to answer this question. They replaced meat protein with soy protein in the diets of 81 men with mild hypercholesterolemia for 6 weeks. The men were divided into five groups, each receiving a different amount of soy protein. Surprisingly, those eating the smallest amount?0 grams, which is approximately 1 hefty scoop of soy protein powder per day—benefited as much as those who consumed larger amounts." - Vincent Giampapa, Ronald Pero, and Marcia Zimmerman, The Anti-Aging Solution: 5 Simple Steps to Looking and Feeling Young (Get the book.)

"Soy protein powder A vegetarian alternative to protein or whey powders, soy protein powder can be used in shakes and smoothies. Be sure to select a product without any added sugars, such as Twinlab's VegeFuel. Stevia Unlike artificial no-calorie sweeteners, stevia is a natural product, an herb about 300 times sweeter than sugar. Although it gets bitter when exposed to heat, stevia can be used to sweeten smoothies and other uncooked foods. You'll find it in packets, boxes, or convenient sprinkle-top containers in any natural foods store and in some well-stocked grocery stores." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"For some women, especially those who have elected to avoid estrogen therapy, adding two to three teaspoons of soy protein to their daily diet can ease the discomfort and debilitating feelings of hot flashes. soy protein (found at the health food store) can be added to breakfast cereal or mixed with beverages. In brief, it may provide relief for those who aren't ready to start estrogen replacement therapy or replacement therapy with "natural" hormone compounds. • Vitamin Therapy Suffering from hormonal hot flashes?" - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"It is quite possibly in anything labeled with these ingredients: textured vegetable protein, carrageenan, vegetable gum, seasonings, spices, flavoring, natural flavorings, chicken, beef, pork, smoke flavorings, bouillon, broth, stock, barley malt, malt extract, malt flavoring, whey protein, whey protein isolate or concentrate, soy protein, soy protein isolate or concentrate, soy sauce or soy extract. One of the most common forms is "hydrolyzed vegetable protein." In other words, MSG is in nearly all boxed, canned and bagged foods, often even when you buy them at a health food store." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Soy protein is potentially problematic, especially if a person is consuming soy protein drinks. It may lower thyroid function in many individuals. Pay attention, if a person likes soy protein but is getting tired and not losing weight it may be problematic. On the other hand, if soy protein is not getting in the way of progress then it may not be a problem. Rule 4 becomes even more important the older a person becomes. This is because there is less ability to tolerate stress. A poor breakfast adds to the wear and tear of the body and induces an unstable energy level before the day is over." - Byron J. Richards, CCN, Mastering Leptin: The Leptin Diet, Solving Obesity and Preventing Disease, Second Edition (Get the book.)

"In 1976, researchers learned that the fetus is capable of producing IgE antibodies against soy protein during early gestation and newborns can be sensitized through the breast milk of the mother and later react to foods they've "never eaten." As Dr. Stefano Guandalini, Department of Pediatrics, University of Chicago, writes, "A significant number of children with cow's milk protein intolerance develop soy protein intolerance when soy milk is used in dietary management." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Uncultured soy products, which include texturized vegetable protein (TVP), isolated soy protein, soy protein isolates, soy milk, soy flour, soy nuts, and edamame bean, pose a digestive challenge for some people. Soy that has been fermented or broken down by beneficial bacteria (similar to how cabbage becomes sauerkraut, or milk becomes yogurt) is the least challenging to people's digestion. These forms include tempeh, miso, and natto, which are superior to other forms of soy." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"The most recent published meta-analysis found that soy protein [plus isoflavones] raised HDL levels 3 percent, which could reduce coronary heart disease risk about 5 percent," says national soy expert Mark Messina, PhD. Other recent studies have shown a decrease in LDL (about 3 percent) and triglycerides (about 6 percent) with about three servings of soy a day (a total of 1 pound of tofu or three soy shakes). But give soy some time; another recent analysis of 23 soy studies found that HDL improvements were observed only in studies of longer than 3 months. 6." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Subsequent research of studies dating back to the 1950s done by Mike Fitzpatrick, the toxicologist the Jameses hired, revealed that similar disorders, including increased cancer and infantile leukemia, were linked to the consumption of soy protein. These studies had found that genistein, which is in soy, causes the disruption of endocrine functions in animals. Analysis of the bird feed revealed high levels of phytoestrogens, mainly genistein. With the discontinuation of the soy-based feed, the birds gradually returned to normal reproduction and behaviors." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "In 1992, the Swiss health service estimated that 100 grams of soy protein provided the estrogenic equivalent of the pill. ... But it was the isofiavones in infant formula that gave the Jameses the most cause for concern. In 1998, investigators reported that the daily exposure of infants to isofiavones in soy infant formula is 6 to 11 times higher on a body weight basis than the dose that has hormonal effects in adults consuming soy foods." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Soy processors have worked hard to get these antinutrients out of the finished product, particularly soy protein isolate (spi), which is the key ingredient in most soy foods that imitate meat and dairy products, including baby formulas and some brands of soy milk, spi is not something you can make in your own kitchen. Production takes place in industrial factories where a slurry of soy beans is first mixed with an alkaline solution to remove fiber, then precipitated and separated using an acid wash and finally neutralized in an alkaline solution." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "In their report on the Third International Soy Symposium, regarding the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, held April-May 2000, Sally Fallon and Mary Enig state: All food additives not in common use prior to 1958, including casein protein from milk, must have gras (Generally Recognized As Safe) status____To this day, use of soy protein is codified as gras only for limited industrial use as a cardboard binder. However, the soy industry public relations campaign has been a huge success. "The competition?" - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The researchers also considered the benefits of fiber from fruit and vegetables, but these sources did not appear to be as protective. soy protein has recently been promoted as particularly beneficial for the cardiovascular system, with claims to that effect now allowed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on soy protein supplements. How much soy protein should be consumed for cardiovascular benefits? Susan M. Potter, Ph.D., and colleagues from the University of Illinois, Urbana, wanted to answer this question." - Vincent Giampapa, Ronald Pero, and Marcia Zimmerman, The Anti-Aging Solution: 5 Simple Steps to Looking and Feeling Young (Get the book.)

"Soy Protein Soy proteins have shown exciting beneficial effects for both men and women. soy protein is at the forefront of warding off breast cancer. A study in Singapore confirmed that a mere morsel of soy (55 mg/day) crushed breast cancer rates by 50 percent. soy protein has also been shown to reduce lung cancer in China and prostate cancer in Japan. The Japanese consume soy daily in the form of tofu, soy milk, and fermented soy products such as miso. All soy foods contain isoflavones, and research has zeroed in on a particular soy isoflavone called genistein." - J.

"They replaced meat protein with soy protein in the diets of 81 men with mild hypercholesterolemia for 6 weeks. The men were divided into five groups, each receiving a different amount of soy protein. Surprisingly, those eating the smallest amount?0 grams, which is approximately 1 hefty scoop of soy protein powder per day—benefited as much as those who consumed larger amounts. Significant reductions in non-HDL cholesterol and apoliprotein B—both risk factors for cardiovascular disease?were seen." - Vincent Giampapa, Ronald Pero, and Marcia Zimmerman, The Anti-Aging Solution: 5 Simple Steps to Looking and Feeling Young (Get the book.)

"About 20 grams of soy protein per 1,000 calories as soy milk, soy burgers, and tofu (substitute soy-based foods for meat, and soy milk as a dairy substitute) 2. About 10 grams of viscous, or sticky, fiber per 1,000 calories (including three servings of psyllium as Metamucil as well as oats and barley that replace other grains, and vegetables like eggplant and okra) 3. Plant sterol-enriched margarine in place of butter and margarine, with the aim of taking in about 1 gram of plant sterols per 1,000 calories (It's not hard to reach this range." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"SOY Substitution of soy protein for animal protein is associated with a reduction in LDL cholesterol30 that is primarily related to the reduction of animal-fat intake rather than any direct effect of soy itself. Soy extracts have been promoted for the treatment of hot flashes in postmenopausal women. Although some studies have found a reduction in hot flashes, other placebo-controlled trials have not found any efficacy of soy extract. Therefore I do not recommend the use of soy extract for hot flashes." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Conceivably, isoflavones and soy protein work cooperatively to reduce cholesterol," he says. If you require further convincing, here's one more reason to eat your soy in close to whole form: Soy contains "inactive" components along with the "active" ones we've just discussed. It's possible that some of these inactive components are required for the active ones to be useful. Plus, dietary soy has been shown to improve blood pressure by preventing blood vessels from constricting in the presence of two hormones (angiotensin II and phenylephrine). More mood-enhancing than hot flash-banishing?" - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Daniel writes: Ingrid Malmheden Yman, PhD, of the Swedish National Food Administration, wrote to the Ministry of Health in New Zealand informing the agency that children with severe allergy to peanut should avoid intake of soy protein. To be on the safe side she further advised parents to make an effort to "avoid sensitization" by limiting both peanuts and soybeans during the third trimester of pregnancy, during breast feeding, and by avoiding the use of soy formula. Controversy has raged since the 1920s as to whether or not babies could be sensitized to allergens while still in utero." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Interestingly enough, researchers recently detected and identified a soy protein component that cross reacts with caseins from cow's milk. Cross reactions occur when foods are chemically related to each other. Matthias Besler of Hamburg, Germany, and an international team of allergy specialists report on the website www.allergens.de that adverse reactions caused by soybean formulas occur in at least 14 to 35 percent of infants allergic to cow's milk.
