I am sure you are right. But theres reason behind pasteurizing foods. ‘Pasteurizing’ might sound a bit clinic, but it just comes down to heating the foods so potential bacteri, vira and bugs are killed. Unpasteurized foods might give you Listeria, and a whole array of deadly or cruel diseases. I just wanted to point that out.

For the confused: nothing beats a good education in science. If you give that a little more attention, you will be well of, in regards to see through all the media-stuff on foods etc. But we all needs to educate ourselves through all our lives, even scientists.

ok bye bye :-)

So we’re all “dooped”, eh? I wonder what that means. You don’t think that maybe, instead, we might be “duped”? Nah, couldn’t be that.

I’m not sure which is more bogus: the spelling on the site or the content.

Hi Gina,

I have been eating soy as a meat alternative. I am very physically active and I’m concerned about my amino acid intake. Do you have any suggestions as to an alternative to soy?

It’s like Jack Lalanne says: “If man makes it, don’t eat it!”

I agree completely! We were not meant to consume milk after infancy. The reason many adults become lactose intolerant is because our bodies are not producing the lactase, enzyme necessary to break down the lactose in dairy products. We needed the enzyme as infants to help us digest our mother’s milk. We don’t need it now because we no longer require milk and shouldn’t be consuming it.

It’s just another way we are being manipulated by the multi-billion dollar food industry. The bottom line is these products are about making money, not about our health.

SOY milk being a health alternative is the biggest CON on the market.

Not only it’s the most genetically modified of all plants, but it contains phyto chemicals that mimic estrogen hormones and may overload your system if you are not a menopausal woman.

These hormones cause cellulite on your legs and buttocks. Ever wonder why men don’t really suffer from cellulite? Well it’s because they produce very little if at all female hormones. It has nothing to do with being fat, as men get fat too. (fat of course make cellulite look worse)
So, if you want cellulite and tender sore breasts, eat SOY !!!

I know that, as I experienced it first hand when I developed a taste for soy milkshakes. Within a week of drinking the stuff, I had all of the above symptoms,and I never had them before. When I stopped drinking it, it all went away.

I tried it several times just to be sure, and everytime my suspicion was confirmed.

So do yourself a favour and ditch the Soy.

Would rice milk be a better substitute than soymilk? I’m not sure I know any grocers in the area that would provide almond/cashew milk. Thanks!

BTW…the Asians have NEVER eaten soy the way we do in this country. Do some research on that and ask people that live over there and you will find out the truth.

I find this very funny but true. I myself am Asian and have eaten soy products all my life, it is an essential ingredient in my diet. Maybe the problem is that in America, everything is so processed that you essentially lose all nutritional value. I for one have never eaten a soy burger or drank soy milk from the grocery store. I make my own soy drink which is much healthier and surprisingly easy to do. Also as a note to others whom have supplemented soy into their diet, MODERATION!! I have been on a vegetarian diet before and have discovered endless dishes, you are not limited in what you eat.

Interesting new information about soy. I had always thought that it’s quite healthy, but I guess as David said there are two sides to most foods. Where can we find fermented soy products?

We are the only species that consume milk after infancy. We do not need milk after this period hence why our brests stop producing it. To drink cow’s milk is utterly unnatural and it supports a sick barbaric industry that deprives the cows and their offspring from their basic needs, and please do not be fooled by their Organic free range standards. Cows will have to be continuously reproducing, most of the time artificially which in my point of you qualifies for rape. Milk is for babies and Cow’ milk is designed for calves to grow fast and strong in a short period of time so saturated with hormones which are harmful to us. Not to mention the billions of pus and blood cells that are found in milk due to factory farming these loving beings.

I would go for Raw almond milk or any alternative that is soy and gluten free. We ned to not to exploit our fellow earthlings.

one other thing…the reason so many people are lactose intolerant and can’t drink cow’s milk is b/c u are drinking “dead” milk. When milk is homogenized and pasteurized, all the good enzymes that your body needs to digest it is killed off. When you drink raw milk, you are drinking “live” milk. All the good enzymes are still there. Any body that is lactose intolerant and drinks raw milk will be cured b/c of the digestive enzymes. Raw milk is an amazing whole food. It keeps you from getting sick and it also helps cure many problems within the body. Read up on it..you will be surprised.

BTW…the Asians have NEVER eaten soy the way we do in this country. Do some research on that and ask people that live over there and you will find out the truth. The FDA has even labeled all soy plants as poisonous, but b/c it’s a cheap alternative…it’s still used in most of our packaged foods.

For the people that think dairy is bad. Yes, pasteurized milk is very bad for you, but raw milk isn’t. People drank raw milk for centuries before the govt stepped in back in the early 1900’s and required dairy to be pastuerized. We’ve been fed a bunch of lies from the govt b/c it’s all about money. Consumers are the ones that control our bank accounts and we have the power to stop buying certain products. When we stop buying, manufacturers will start taking notice. Soy is very bad for you and 80% of soy is now genetically modifided. All you have to do is read up on some of things to become knowledgeable about what’s really happening. We need to wake up so that this doesn’t continue to affect our kids. Think of how many kids have allergies to soy, wheat, corn. How many kids have gotten autism b/c people thought it was from the mercury in vaccinations. How about the mercury that’s in high fructose corn syrup. HFCS is in most processed foods that are kids eat both at home and at school. How about the alarming rates of ADD and ADHD in our kids now. ADD and ADHD can be corrected by the foods our kids eat. Genetically modifided soy, corn, byproducts of soy and corn, canola oil, cottonseed oil, is in many of our foods now. The school lunches our kids eat are loaded with GMO foods. The FDA does not regulate or require labeling of GMO foods here in the USA. Many countries in the world have banned GMO foods b/c of the terrible side effects from eating these foods. We as consumers need to do our part here in the US, and demand the FDA require labeling of GMO foods and foods that are non-GMO. We need to do our part in not buying foods that are GMO, but buy foods that are organic. Support your local organic farmers. This is serious stuff people. Our kids are suffering from these foods as well as us adults, and we need to step up and start doing something about it.
