Soy Breasts: This is What Soy Does to Men and Women

If you carefully look at all the studies published on soy you will realize how bad soy is for you.  And yet, most people still believe that soy products are healthy. You have to realize that everything you think you know about soy is the result of effective smart mass marketing that made people believe that soy is a superfood.  And unfortunately, you’ll find that almost every packaged product is soy based.

  

So What’s  So Bad About Soy?

Soybeans are high in phytic acid

Phytates actually bind to the magnesium, calcium, zinc and iron in your intestines and take them OUT of our bodies. The soybean has one of the highest phytate levels of any grain or legume that has been studied.

Soy contains goitrogens 

 

Soy contains goitrogens which lead to depressed thyroid function.  The way that goitrogens work is that they inhibit iodine metabolism. When it comes to thyroid health, iodine is vital in the formation of thyroid hormone. As a result, if iodine cannot be properly utilized by the thyroid gland, then the formation of thyroid hormone can’t happen.

 

Soy is loaded with phytoestrogens

Did you know that phytoestrogens block the hormone estrogen and have distracting effects on human tissues? Estrogen is a steroid hormone that is often affected by the consumption of these specific isoflavones, which are also  referred to as phytoestrogens. These phytoestrogens have been found to cause breast cancer.

For Men

Improper balance of testosterone to estrogen in men can lead to a lower libido, fat accumulation around the waist and loss of energy, stamina and virility and even man boobs (gynecomastia).

For Women

Having abnormally high levels of estrogen doesn’t mean you’ll be more of a woman. It could disrupt your periods, fertility and put you at risk for breast cancer.

Did you know that soy can cause:

• Thyroid problems, including weight gain, lethargy, malaise, fatigue, hair loss, and loss of libido
• Cancer
• Brain damage

• Premature puberty and other developmental problems in babies, children and adolescents

• Reproductive disorders
• Allergies

Additionally, about 80 percent or more, is also genetically modified, which causes many other health issues.
