Two glasses of soy milk a day for one month
has enough phytoestrogens
to alter a woman's menstrual cycle.

Is soy bad for you?
Is there some kind of soy that's safe?
And pretty much, what's going on with soy?
Soy's in everything these days.
So, soy, not only does it contain inhibitors
that prevent your nutrient absorption
from your vitamins and your minerals,
but research has said that soy can also affect your thyroid.
It can affect your hormonal health,
which is really my number one negative aspect with soy
is how it affects your hormone health.
And hormones are needed for every reaction in the body.
And one interesting thing that I've noticed
is that, especially if you have an iodine deficiency,
which I believe most people do have iodine deficiencies,
soy is even worse for your thyroid and your hormones.
And the issue that we're finding out with soy
is that it contains what's called phytoestrogens.
And phytoestrogens are estrogen mimickers inside the body,
which means the body doesn't know
if that's estrogen or if it's a phytoestrogen or anything.
It's basically like a phytoestrogen from soy,
but the body thinks that it's estrogen.
So, if you're a woman for example and you're consuming foods
that increase your estrogen levels,
and you're in contact with many other compounds
that can increase or mimic estrogen like bisphenols
or phthalates or any of the plastics and stuff like that
or even atrazine, glyphosate, and certain types
of pesticides, insecticides.
It's going to increase your risk for any type
of hormone-related disorder.
And for men, you're going to have excess estrogen,
which is not necessarily a good thing
to have if you're a male.
Even drinking two glasses of soy milk a day for one month
has enough phytoestrogens
to alter a woman's menstrual cycle.
And you wonder why women are having so many situations
with their menstrual cycles and pains
and men, causing sterility in men.
I never saw fertility clinics on every single corner
when I was a kid growing up.
And now, you have fertility clinics
practically on every single corner,
because we have an epidemic of infertility.
And the reason, the root cause of the infertility,
is not only soy, but many different hormone
or endocrine-disrupting chemicals
and toxins that we're exposing ourselves to
on a regular basis.
We know that soy in men actually lowers sperm count also.
And soy is actually extremely dangerous for infants.
It just blows my mind that the only formulas
that are subsidized by the government for infants
are soy formulas.
Soy formulas for infants should be avoided at all costs.
It's estimated that the infants
that are fed exclusively soy formulas
receive the equivalent of five birth control pills
worth of estrogen every single day.
That is, to me, not only shocking,
but I mean, people should go to jail for that.
It's like you're giving infants the equivalent
of five birth control pills every single day,
whether they're male or female infants?
I mean, that's just...
We have a lot of situations going on right now
in our society and with the Big Agriculture
and the Big Pharmaceutical and these big companies
that are damaging and hurting our future generation
and hurting us.
But that's what I'm here for,
is to try to fight against that every single day,
and try to bring the truth and healing
and the truth about the root cause out to the public.
If you know the truth and if you know the root cause,
then you can do something about it,
'cause there's always a positive situation
for any negative situation.
It's like, okay, table salt.
Well, that's the toxin.
Well, Himalayan crystal salt would be the solution.
Or soy is the bad situation,
but almond milk or macadamia milk or oat milk
or something like that would be the solution.
Everything that I'm telling you to avoid,
there's always something else that you could replace it with
that's actually healthy.
Get rid of your fluoride toothpaste
and replace it with a natural toothpaste, stuff like that.
But one of the reasons that soy is bad is,
not all soy is bad, and I'll get to that,
but the general soy out there,
is because it blocks the uptake of essential minerals.
Soy contains a compound called phytic acid.
Phytic acid.
They're high in phytic acid.
And phytic acid is what blocks the most...
Well, I'm not gonna say the most important,
but very, very essential minerals.
Calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc.
The funny thing is, well, it's not funny,
but those are a lot of the minerals
that most people are deficient in.
Calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and iron.
And it blocks 'em from being absorbed
in the intestinal tract.
One of the things that makes soy so popular
is because the government started subsidizing it.
Early on in the research, the United States
wanted to become the biggest producer
and has become the biggest producer
of soy beans on the planet.
That's why soy is practically
in every single processed food.
Potato chips, cereal, butter replacement, packaged items.
It's in supplements.
It's in coatings.
It's basically used for so many different things,
because the government subsidizes it,
and it's everywhere.
Protein replacements.
It's even in packaged tuna.
Another thing that I really don't like about soy
is the fact that the majority of it is genetically modified.
And not only is it genetically modified,
it's heavily sprayed with pesticides and herbicides.
And that introduces just a massive amount of toxins
and chemicals into your system that you have to deal with.
And your body has to use all of its energy stores
to eliminate and try to neutralize.
That's pretty much why I'm not a fan of soy.
However, fermented soy products I have used.
And fermented soy products can actually be
extremely healthy, and that's going to be
like a fermented organic soy milk,
a fermented tofu, a miso, different fermented soy sauces,
tempeh, and natto.
Anything that's fermented, of course,
that's why it can be healthy
is because the soy is fermented.
And the reason why is because when you ferment soy,
it produces high levels of isoflavones.
Isoflavones are actually very health-giving
and very health-promoting.
So, we actually used to use a product called Haelan 951,
and that was a fermented soy.
We got great results with it when we were working with
helping people naturally address symptoms of disease,
as well as different diseases.
When you look at natto, which is probably one of the most
effective forms of fermented soy,
that's the one that is consumed the most in Okinawa, Japan.
And that's, originally, when they started looking at soy
and before they brought it to the United States,
they looked at Okinawa, Japan.
They found out that people were living over 100 years.
So they said, oh, well, what are they doing?
Well, they're eating a bunch of soy.
That's why they're living to be 100 years old.
Let's bring it to the United States, and let's cultivate it.
And let's do all this stuff.
And then maybe everybody in the United States
will live to 100 years,
but that really wasn't why the Japanese people
were living to over 100.
They were eating a lot of natto, which was fermented soy.
And it's loaded with probiotics.
It's not genetically modified.
And it's super high in Vitamin K2.
And K2 is another ingredient that we are missing today
and we are deficient in.
So, fermented natto or fermented soy can be okay.
So, if you have any additional questions
regarding, is soy good for you or is soy bad for you,
please leave comments below, any additional tips,
maybe some recipes that you've done
on fermenting different types of soy.
Be happy to look at those.
Be happy to review those.
And any additional information that you need
or that you want, we will also post some article links
on the dangers of soy or just general information on soy.
