Soy milk used to be one of my favorites as a teenager, I consumed a lot of it until I left that same environment that provided it to me in abundance. Today, I was reading a book titled Stolen Harvest by Vandana Shiva, as I neared the conclusion of chapter one, Shiva stated that soy was dangerous to human health. I was shocked to hear this, but then I decided to confirm from other sources on Google, and low and behold most of sources agree with the health hazards Shiva had stated in her book. I know Nigerians consume a lot of soy products, and I am using this medium to reach out to you all about the dangers.

Thank you so much for link and info. Heard this news but refused to confirm it. Now you have.

I was planning to go 'soy' but keep putting it off cos of its complexities.

How would the world have been wrongly informed about Soya. For a very long time, it was the miracle food and held its place. Tofu is so popular. I even learned to make it and was going to learn to make Soymilk. We were advised to add spoonfuls of ground soya into baby's cereal. Phew!!!
I use Soy Sauce though, glad to read its not in the list of the baddies.
Thank you.

Wow thanks for sharing! Everyday they discover new things that are bad for us. Me too I love Soy milk like no man's business! I guess that's another of my favourite things that will be taken off my shopping list! *sigh

But from what I garnered reading this article,it says unfermented soy is dangerous to onez health,which means we can go ahead to enjoy soymilk,cos it goes through the fermentation process

One of nature's best gift to man is Soya beans. Unfortunately nearly every thing edible both natural and man made has a bad side. Take Yam and Cassava for instance.

Fortunately these dangers can be avoided well by preparing the food/fruit well to get rid of the harmful chemicals.

I love soya milk and loves preparing it (only that it's too stressful) and I can tell you that soya beans powder is one of the best things for little babies.
