Is Soy the New Swine?

THE OTHER WHITE CURD    

Growing up I learned from followers of Islam that pork was to be shunned due to the fact that the pig was the filthiest animal.  If you ate swine then you would be infected with very dangerous parasites.  Muslim propaganda inspired many health conscious people from  completely omnivorous eating to eliminating not only pork but all red meat and dairy.  Eating fish and fowl was thought to be healthier and if you went a step further to eliminate all animal products then a very likely substitution would be soy and soy by-products.  The interesting irony, while pork was demonized soy was praised as great cholesterol free protein rich meat and dairy substitute.  

Using Soy as foundation food is where modern day vegetarianism or veganism fails.  Soy is simply not a food to make a staple for your fat and protein needs.  In fact, just the opposite is true.  Eating lots of soy products can lead to a number of health modalities.  A number of studies show hormonal disruptions, thyroid problems, inhibitors that block mineral assimilation and absorption, cancer, infertility and miscarriage for women, and loss of libido and erectile dysfunction for men. 

Eliminating pork and red meat products was relatively simple in terms of identifying what is pork.  There are always exceptions which may contain by-products and not be so obvious, like Jello for example.  With soy and  its by-products, soy is very pervasive throughout all processed foods.  Buy a salad dressing or a sauce marinade then it will likely have soy and/or rapeseed oil.   What's worse, given that 95% of all soy is genetically engineered, odds are when you are eating veggie burgers, soy mock meats, or french fries, not only are you ingesting dangerous levels of soy oil and protein, it has also been created using viruses, i.e. genetically engineered.

For a true vegetarian, what are the optimal sources for protein and fat?   Eating fruits and salads is nice, but ideally, it always comes down to balance.  Great sources of vegetarian fat and protein are from nuts, coconuts, seeds, avocado, olives, and ackee (popular in Jamaica).  These are some examples of foods that should be staples for our healthy fat and protein sources.  We need fats and protein as well as sugar.  Healthy food is food in its natural balanced state.   

60 years ago soy and other vegetable oils replaced more costly coconut and palm oil.  Coconut and Palm oil came from tropical regions and soy oil could be produced more locally in seasonal environments.  Deceptive marketing demonized coconut and palm oils for being high in saturated fat.  Conversely, soy, corn, and rapeseed oils were being touted as "healthy".  Cattle ranchers in the 1940's discovered when their cattle was fed tropical palm oils the cattle didn't gain weight, in fact, they were lean, active, and hungry.  When the ranchers fed their cattle soy and corn products, it had an anti-thyroid effect and as a result the cattle gained more weight on less food.  Soy protein curds such as tofu and bean curd were by-products of soy oil and were also marketed as a health food.  It is critical to understand that Asians traditionally ate soy using sophisticated fermenting techniques that allowed for soy to have nutritional value by reducing or eliminating all of the inhibitors present.  It is the inhibitors in soy that makes it a lethal dangerous food. 

As the veil on the dangers of soy continues to be lifted, continue to do your research and determine for your self and your family what is the best dietary regimen.  Remember, more nutritional forms of soy are always fermented and they include tempeh, natto, miso, and soy sauce.  Tofu, bean curd, veggie burgers, and TVP should be avoided or limited for optimal vibrancy.
