The Soy Rap Sheet

Edition: 2022-03-25


If you’ve noticed that soy does not appear on program shopping lists, and is not an ingredient of program recipes*, that’s no accident. Soy is only endorsed as a safe food in fermented, organic, non-GMO forms, such as tofu and tamari (gluten-free soy sauce).

The problems with unfermented soy are:

  • Unless credibly non-GMO, it’s very likely to be Bt soy or Roundup-Ready soy, and thus either inherently a pesticide, or assured to have glyphosate uptake.
     
  • There’s an allergen risk for some.
     
  • Soybean agglutinin lectin (promotes leaky gut).
     
  • Saponins
     
  • Goitrogens
     
  • Raises rT3 and TSH; depresses fT4: The Effect of High Dose Isoflavone Supplementation on Serum Reverse T3 in Euthyroid Men With Type 2 Diabetes and Post-menopausal Women
     
  • Phytoestrogens
     
  • Phytosterols appear to be a net hazard generally (Dr. Davis remark)
     
  • The fat is high in Omega 6 linoleic acid (the oil is totally unsuited for human consumption).
     
  • If not "organic", then the usual field pesticide uptake and synthetic fertilizer issues arise.
     
  • Even if organic, fungicides in storage and transport must be considered.
     

The carbs aren’t really the problem.

* One older program recipe calls for “soy milk” or  almond milk” (more on nut milks). It likely needs to be re-visited.

Other than the potential glyphosate and GMO issues, may we ask for the scientific sources for the other claims?
