However, a quick Google search on the “dangers of soy” suggests that soy is counter productive to one’s health. On the other hand, search “benefits of soy” and the results are favorable. What’s a health-food loving, fitness enthusiast to do when it comes to soy? Another question might be, “Is there a type of soy that’s safe to eat?” The answer is yes, but with caveats. All beans, soy included, contain phytates and other anti-nutrients, which bind to minerals so that the body has difficulty absorbing them. On the other hand, fermented soybeans are a nutritious, protein-rich, plant food. The process of fermenting soy eliminates these anti-nutrients, so products like miso, tempeh, natto and real soy sauce are safer – and therefore on the list below called Soy to Love – whereas products like tofu and edamame are best consumed in small quantities. Even though they are unprocessed or lightly processed, they are also unfermented, which means they are high in phytic acid. Phytoestrogens mimic estrogen in the body, causing hormone disruption like male hair loss, male breast development, early onset puberty in girls, and infertility in men and women. Phytoestrogens have also been linked to certain types of cancers. Finally, soy is known to be one of the heaviest sprayed and genetically modified crops. These foods are not essential for a healthy diet, but can be beneficial when eaten in small quantities. Consider them as a condiment, not a staple food, which is most similar to the native Asian diet.
