The Dark Side of Soy: by Catherine Ebeling - RN, BSN only a few decades ago, unfermented soybean foods were considered unfit to eat- even in Asia. These days, people all over the world have been fooled into thinking that unfermented soy foods like soymilk and soy protein are somehow "health foods". If they only knew the truth! The soybean did not serve until the discovery of fermentation techniques, some time during the Chou Dynasty. The first soy foods were fermented products like tempeh, natto, miso and soy sauce. At a later date, possibly in the 2nd century BC, Chinese scientists discovered that a puree of cooked soybeans could be precipitated with calcium sulfate or magnesium sulfate (plaster of Paris or Epsom salts) to make a smooth, pale curd-tofu or bean curd. The use of fermented and precipitated soy products soon spread to other parts of the Orient, notably Japan and Indonesia. Growth-depressant compounds are deactivated during the process of fermentation, so once the Chinese discovered how to ferment the soybean, they began to incorporate soy foods into their diets. The Chinese NEVER ate large amounts of unfermented soy foods or soymilk the Chinese did not eat unfermented soybeans as they did other legumes such as lentils bec. the soybean contains large quantities of natural toxins or antinutrients. First among them are potent enzyme inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes vital for protein digestion. These inhibitors are large, tighly folded proteins that are not completely deactivated during ordinary cooking. They can produce serious gastric distress, reduced protein digestion and chronis deficiencies in amino acid uptake. In test animals, diets high in trypsin inhibitors cause enlargement and pathological conditions of the pancreas, including cancer. Soybeans also contain haemagglutin. a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together. trypsin inhibitors and haemagglutin are growth inhibitors. Weanes rats fed soy containing these antinutrients fail to grow normally. To READ more about this article, please go to: http://www.truthaboutabs.com/soy-foods-make-you-fat.html
