The Hidden Dangers Of Soy

View:

Did you know that the soy industry is a $70 billion a year business? I started researching soy when I developed a severe allergy to soy in 2003 (the anapylactic shock type). What I learned is very disturbing.

We are eating soy products today at levels never before seen in history. Advances in food technology have made it possible to isolate soy proteins, isoflavones, and other substances found in the bean and add them to all kinds of foods where they've never been before. The number of processed and manufactured foods that contain soy ingredients today is astounding. These days it can be hard to find foods that don't contain soy flour, soy oil, lecithin (extracted from soy oil and used as an emulsifier in high-fat products), soy protein isolates and concentrates, textured vegetable protein (TVP), hydrolyzed vegetable protein (usually made from soy) or unidentified vegetable oils. Most of what is labeled "vegetable oil" in the U.S. is actually soy oil, as are most margarines. Soy oil is the most widely used oil in the U.S., accounting for more than 75 percent of our total vegetable fats and oil intake. And most of our soy products are now genetically engineered.

There was considerable research done in 1966 about the harmful substance within the soybean.

Soy contains several naturally occurring compounds that are toxic to humans and animals. The soy industry frequently refers to these toxins as anti-nutrients, which implies that they somehow act to prevent the body from getting the complete nutrition it needs from a food. The soy toxins (such as phytic acid) can certainly act in this manner, but they also have the ability to target specific organs, cells and enzyme pathways, and their effects can be devastating. As with any toxin, there will be a dose at which negative effects are not observed.

Health experts are particularly concerned that breast-cancer sufferers who take soy or phyto-oestrogen supplements could feed the disease and reduce the effectiveness of their treatment.

Those soy food or isoflavone supplement manufacturers that proclaim the anti-cancer properties of their products are guilty of giving false hope to millions; but worse they may be placing consumers at greater risk of contracting the same horrendous diseases they are trying to avoid

Another area of concern is infant soy formula. New research suggests high concentrations of manganese found in soybean-based baby formula can lead to brain damage in infants and altered behaviors in adolescents.

The say soy can reverse child obesity because soy foods provide critical vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein. They claim soy foods contain less calories and fat grams making weight loss easier. Kid friendly foods like soymilk, frozen pizza, taco-style meant and chicken-style nuggets. This does not sound like a healthy diet to me. And, now all the fast food chains are stating they are switching to 0 trans fats which just boils down to using soybean oil!

The Hidden Dangers Of Soy

"But," Says Christie MacLachlan of Christmastime site Christmaslightsanddecorations.com. "with all the joy and excitement surrounding Christmas it can be easy to forget that there are some real dangers involved in adorning your home and living with holiday decorations day to day."

According to the US National Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and the National Protection Agency, it is estimated that nearly 6000 injuries, 33 deaths and 600 fires a year occur as a result of decorating for Christmas. Added to the over 23 million dollars in property damage caused during the holidays, a significant amount of risk is involved in decorating your home for the holidays!

The most common Christmastime injuries come from climbing and reaching, followed closely by electrocution and fires caused by improper handling of Christmas lights. Balancing on furniture such as couches and chairs that aren't meant for climbing is the easiest way to get hurt. It's easy to prevent injury while decorating for Christmas, though! MacLachlan sites these simple tips to improving your holiday safety.

?Make sure you follow safe practices when working up high. Always use ladders for climbing and don't overextend your reach. Check that your ladder is sturdy and be sure to have someone hold the bottom so that it doesn't slip. For extra safety, you can hire a professional roofer to put up your roof top decorations.

?When you're installing your Christmas lights make sure they are undamaged. Frayed strings and exposed wires can cause a serious risk of electrocution both inside and outside. Also, do not ever try to force a plug into a socket ? you may need to use an extension cord to properly fit your light string to your electricity source.

?After decorating pay close attention to everyday safety. Christmas lights and candles are a fire risk, so monitor them closely. Anything that creates heat should be not be put near Christmas trees or any flammable material and should not be left on when you are not there to keep an eye on them. Also make sure that none of your decorations obstruct any high traffic areas. Place decorations away from spots where they are at risk of tripping or injuring someone.

?Children are especially susceptible to injury from Christmas decorations. The twinkling lights and unusual shapes are a major attraction to little fingers. Kids are especially at risk for burns and electrocutions - they might not think twice about putting their hands up to flames or playing with wires and electrical sockets.

?Be aware of your fragile glass decorations, too. Broken decorations are a choking hazard for children and can cause serious scratches and cuts. The best way to keep little ones safe is to hang all decorations far out of reach! Also, parents should be mindful of poisonous plants such as poinsettia, which can harm children and pets if consumed.

"Keep your Christmas decorating safe this year by being aware of the dangers and working to prevent accidents," says MacLachlan. Practice common sense holiday safety throughout your home this season so you and your family can enjoy and happy accident and injury-free Christmas.
