Soybeans and many other forms of soy products have gotten quite popular recently especially in the United States. The industry is aware of certain dangerous side effects to these soy products, but as yet has not let us in on these side effects.
There may be advertisements showing men on soy protein powder ads for bodybuilding but how many other ads for soy products show men on them? That is not to say that it is only dangerous for men though. Soy products are dangerous for men and women alike.
Three of the worst effects of soy products are listed here for your information.
Around 100 grams of soy protein product that is consumed is said to contain the same amount of estrogen that is found is a high dose pill used in birth control. This begs the question how much is in soy formula used in infant feeding? It is also thought that it can affect women by causing early menses as well as other issues related to hormones. The great rash of so called man boobs is also thought to stem from soy products.
Many beans if not soaked properly before cooking are thought to contain Phytic acid. The soybean is also known to contain this too. Phytic acid is known for attacking the nutrients and vitamins in our body that we usually store in our muscles or bone tissue.
Another thing found in soybeans is a chemical known to prevent our stomach from properly breaking down any protein. These are known as Trypsin inhibitors so in effect we do not get the high protein associated with soybeans in our body thanks to these chemicals.
Fermented soy products such as Tamari soy sauce, Chinese Tofu and Japanese natto though do not seem to have such issues related to them.
