I was a big consumer of soy for many years because I believed the propaganda that "big business" has been touting. Well I am here to tell you that it has nearly ruined my life!! I was feeling perfectly fine before I added it to my diet....fast forward a few years later and now I cannot control my weight because my thyroid is out of wack, my hormones are all over the place, and I get sick and fatigued every time I consume it. I have to avoid it at all costs. I know within minutes if I have eaten something that contains it because my body reacts terrible to it. I can eat a steak and know that its probably not as good for me as a salad but at least I know I am not going throw my body into a tailspin like soy does.

It's a fairly long process. But I do agree that it is consumed differently. It's drank more like a treat. Maybe a small 250 ml carton. Most people here drink tea, juice, or water instead. Soymilk isn't even available in restaurants in hong kong. Soy is consumed as tofu more often then not and not every day. The diet here is completely different then north America. I think that japan eats a bit more soy then here tho. Most Asians don’t make their own soy milk. It’s a fairly long process. But I do agree that it is consumed differently.

People choose vegetarianism today more as a sort of philosophy and belief in lifestyle improvement--but ironically must still enjoy the taste of meat and so eat "vegetarian meat" products made of soy. It is not soy per se that causes illness but the additives used to make soy taste like meat. Soy is a plant and when consumed in moderation, will more likely bring about benefits than not. Asian people consume soy in many forms and tofu is very commonly consumed--perhaps more so than even miso, even by the Japanese. Yet they have not come to any harm. Is it not possible that non-asian ethnics have problems breaking down soy proteins like how many asians have problems breaking down alcohol? Vegetarians of the past ate real vegetables.

I was vegetarian for 17 years and this effect gradually built up. If I eat a little soy now, I'm seriously sick for one day. The stuff is nasty. Notice when you feel bad and then look for the ingredients you just ate. Look for lecitin or soy oil or powder. Yes, eating soy can make you very sick.
