I have some sources linked. A lot of the information I learned in nutrition school. Our syllabus, lectures, and various text books. Can you tell me specifically what you would like a source for, since I use a variety. I will be happy to share the info. with you.

Could you please post your sources? While I’ve heard most of your claims before, and for that reason drastically reduced my soy intake, my schooling has taught me to always get to the source, so that I can judge how the conclusions were reached. Much appreciated! – Erik

Sho
Thanks for such great info.Your blogs are really great. I came across them recently. Wanted to ask if we can have soy flour. Can we mix soy flour in our regular whole wheat flour. Is it beneficial or not?

Wow, thanks for the education. My 7 year old son drinks Odwalla Super Protein nearly everyday. I now see that the isolated soy protein and soy milk are not the best choices for his diet. So I’ll control the supply and stop buying it for him. But we’ll keep having miso soup with sushi!

Yes, soy protein isolate in your bar is the toxic form. That’s the form that is processed like plastic, and is soon to be an “edible” plastic wrap. Most bars I have seen are way too processed and have far too much sugar. There are a few decent ones. Here is one http://www.organicfoodbar.com/ Even better than organic food bar is http://www.youbars.com/ You can custom make your own bars. Lastly, you can make bars at home. If you are interested I can post some recipes. Trail mix is another option.

Thanks for all the facts! I knew soy was bad for us but did not know why. And I am glad to here miso and tempeh is still OK.
Love reading your blogs!

Sho, thanks for the article. After reading I just looked over my nutrition bar labels….they contain soy protein nuggets(isolated soy protein). This is how they have it listed on the ingredient list. It also contains milk protein isolate. Is this the same type of soy you were talking about in your article? Thanks!
