SOY NO HEALTH FOOD

Now a new book that Dr. Mercola is recommending about soy and soy products that seem to be as prevalent as smog. Being a vegetarian, it is very important for me personally to know these facts. But, if you are considering giving your baby soy milk for any reason please look at the facts first. Soy is stealth junk food. It masquerades as healthy but hides some very pernicious chemicals one of which is a phytoestrogen that can reak havoc on the male child.

Before you dismiss this and say, "I don't eat soy or anything that contains it", read this:

"Because, after a heavy marketing campaign from the soy industry, Americans are largely convinced that soy is the miracle food to fight everything from cancer to heart disease to hot flashes--and a slew of other illnesses in between. Some 200 million Americans, many who may have once turned their noses up at the mere thought of soy anything, are now eating soy in record amounts and in newly created, highly processed forms: soymilk, soy burgers, soy energy bars, soy ice cream, soy cereal, soy meat--you name it, there's probably soy in it."
