Re: SOY: West Price Foundation Tragedy and Hype:

 And if you can save up to buy in bulk you can also find Ranchers that sell meat that is soy free raised on the internet in your area. ?

You mean the same meats that contain hormones that can be hundreds to thousands of times stronger than the phytoestrogens found in plants?  Yes, even organic meats contain hormones generated by the animals themselves.  And animal estrogens are much more powerful than human estrogens, which are already hundreds of times stronger than phytoestrogens.  For example, look at the Premarin fiasco.  After 30 years they finally admitted that this estrogen derived from pregnant mare's urine did cause cancer because it was 30,000 times stronger than human estrogens.  So if you want to worry about estrogens then you need to completely avoid all meats and dairy.  And if you want to avoid phytoestrogens then you need to avoid all plants.

The only thing I did not agree on was the soy .. but this was years ago before all the research on soy. Because even in the 40's they were finding that soy had harmful chemicals in it.. they used it to make PLASTIC for Car parts from what I have read.

So what?  Some of the earliest plastics were made from cellulose found in ALL plants?  And many other plant and animal products have been used commercially for similar purposes.  Milk casein was used to make glue as were animal hides.  Mercola pushes flax seed, which is used to make paint varnish.  Various seed oils have been used as industrial lubricants and in the manufacturing of paints.  Some seed oils will even spontaneously polymerize over time in to what is essentially plastics............   Again, the soy-plastic link is nothing more than HYPE!!!  Just because it can be used to make plastic this does not make it dangerous or even that it will form plastic in the body.  More proof that people need to get their "facts" from credible sites, not propaganda sites!

that is when I started to look towards natural foods and herbs. at that time too.. my daughter had ADD and you could not find salad dressing that did not have 3 different preservatives.. it was bad.. the min I put her on a chemical free diet she was a normal kid again.. used Coffee to keep her calm.. she got so she would make her own when she got to feeling off~~~ worked Fantastic.

Should we go in to all the toxins in coffee, including caffeine, and the chemicals used in processing some coffee.  Do the research and you will have something really to bash for its negative health effects.  For example, the high oxalic acid that people claim is a toxin in soy.  The tannins linked to cancer and that bind nutrients.  The caffeine that leads to nutrient deficiencies and crashes the adrenals leading to a whole host of problems.  The phytic acid also claimed to be an anti-nutrient in soy.........

In fact, you may find this really interesting about coffee:

"Did You Know? Over 70% of the world’s coffee supply may be contaminated with toxic pesticides and chemicals. It’s estimated that just one cup of coffee contains thousands of chemicals, many of which are gastrointestinal irritants and cancer-causing agents. Also, The high heat used in roasting coffee beans causes the natural oils to turn rancid, further contributing to its chemical load."

Even Mercola who you like states coffee is toxic:
