Terry,

Yeah, definitely do some research on this stuff. It’s really scary!

Rosie, evidently you didn’t read my entire comment. I’ve just started eating eggs over the past 4 months and only from my own rescued 3 hens who will never become stew. Otherwise I eat no additional animal products. That’s where the “98% vegan” comes from.
John, I’ve been eating soy products for 25 years, weigh 110#, have absolutely no medical issues and look like I’m 40 at 55. And I do not have good genes as the majority of my family are either overweight or have medical conditions or both. So I don’t think I’ll be dying from my daily soy consumption.

Actually I’d go back and watch when you have the chance to do so. There’s actually an even LONGER version where they go into details about what happens to the animals who eat GMO foods.

As for soy, fermented only for us. It breaks down the phytoestrogens and other toxins that makes even organic soy not a good option.

Veg, there is a lot of research out there for and against soy. The problem with the pro-soy research tends to either be a) following the money shows a vested interest in a positive outcome b) they use isolated compounds of the plants.

My wife is an herbalist and she’s been annoyed many times because a ‘study’ will come out saying that this herb is good for this or that or that an herb is dangerous, when all they did was extract the chemical constituent and test that. That’s what they did to comfrey, a perfectly safe herb in small doses when used as nature intended.

As for soy not being dangerous, there is a lot of research pointing that this could be possible. It’s a no brainer that soy is bad for you if it’s GMO, but also if it’s unfermented.

I’d make sure that what you’re reading uses research that is unbiased and up to date. It’s hard, but there’s some out there. You might check out Weston A Price, or if you don’t believe those folks (many vegans I know aren’t keen on them) there are a lot of other places to go for information. Mercola.com is a great source, with documented references. I agree with about 90% of what he does. Great guy.

I’d say something about veganism, too, but I know I’d lose you there. 🙂

Richard,
Sounds like you’re doing better than most folks out there. And fermented lentil sprouts? I’ll have to check that out.

Did you not get the point? Soy in this country is 80% GMO. NO ONE SAID SOY IS BAD…IT’S THE GENETIC ENGINEERING! Eat organic and soy is good. By the way…if you are vegan, why are you eating egg?
Just curious

Sure, soy is great at protein yada yada, but the rationality is to buy GMO free soy. More expensive, but benefits vastly outweigh the extra costs. In all honesty, I didn’t get to watch all the movie. The first THREE minutes said it all. Right?

Asians have been eating FERMENTED soy for millennia. That’s the key. And non GMO of course. Please do some more research, your health depends on it…
