Pregnancy Nutrition - Soy is NOT a Health Food!



I apologize if this turns into a bit of a rant -. I do not intend to go that way, but maybe because I am passionate about this subject

For many years, "health food" industry has spent millions on the positioning of soy as a healthy food, and now it's in everything! Even the formula. And although the Food Standards Agency has issued warnings about the dangers of soy in infant / baby food is still allowed to go on today.

One of my friends has recently published a Facebook comment about how her 4 months your baby is always hungry around 1030pm and how she plans to give him "good night milk" to see if it helped him go through the night . I immediately issued an update on his bedtime milk is made ​​from soybeans as 99% of baby formula you'll find on the shelf at the supermarket and her comment was backwards, "Why is soy bad ?"

It seems that, although all the scientific evidence to the contrary, "health food" industry has done such a good job of marketing soy as a healthy alternative to the truth is drowned in all the noise they make.

strains should not be part of your pregnancy diet, nor should it be eating when breastfeeding, or give your child formula or other baby food.

Soy was traditionally used in Asia as food for animals, and only in times of extreme food shortage is to use very poor people. Even then it is used rarely and only after long fermentation - Asians knew the dangers that we

.

Soybean is widely used as a substitute for meat, because vegetarian is high in protein, however, the health food industry does not tell you is that they are also high in enzyme inhibitors and antinutrients that actually block the action of your digestive enzymes in the digestion of proteins. Thus, protein becomes useless to you as it can absorb!

Protein is the building block of all our cells - you need to repair and grow strong muscle tissue and baby needs to form cells, and if unavailable protein is an integral part of your pregnancy diet, how you and your baby will suffer . Now health food industry has spent billions to invest in technology to eradicate these antinutrients from soy and were able to point, but one success lies another problem. Western soy production uses high temperature to produce and corrosive chemicals to destroy antinutrients (trypsin inhibitors) in soy, to be "safe" for human consumption, but at a high temperature heat treatment actually denatures the protein in soybeans, making them difficult to digest and toxic . In addition, the process still does not remove the trypsin inhibitor.

trypsin inhibitors are particularly dangerous for pregnancy and children that even a small amount of trypsin inhibitor was found to reduce growth and cause enlargement and pathological conditions of the pancreas, including cancer.

Soybeans are also high in phytates and phytic acid blocks the intake of magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc in the intestinal tract. During pregnancy it is vital that you get enough of these minerals in the diet during pregnancy to protect your immune system, preventing brittle bones, help the baby form properly in the stomach and prevent premature labor and miscarriage. So, all that blocks the intake of essential nutrients is potentially very harmful to you and your baby.

In children, high phytates in the diet caused a slowing of growth, a baby is particularly serious because it delays the accumulation of lipids in the myelin, threatening brain development and the proper formation of the nervous system.

Soy formula also increases the need for folic acid in early pregnancy can cause neural tube defects like spina bifida. Also block fat intake, which also means that it can not absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D. However, while all these things are harmful to your health, pregnancy and your baby's development, they pale into insignificance compared to the effect that soy is the hormone and your baby's hormonal development.

Soy contains isoflavones - a compound that mimics the effects eostrogens. Isoflavonones are potent endocrine disruptors and the changing patterns of growth and proper development of your baby's sex. Isoflavonones depress thyroid function, causing autoimmune thyroid disease and have a devastating effect on sexual development in children.

male children undergoing testosterone surge in the first few months of his life, where testosterone production is equal to the adult male. Isoflavanones present in the diet at this time flooding the bloodstream with female hormones.

pediatric medicine, noted a much larger number of boys who showed a lack of physical development of sexual organs, and whose physical maturation is delayed significantly.

In girls, puberty begins much earlier with 48.3% of girls showed physical signs of puberty at the age of 8, (such as breast or pubic hair ).

So why the government food agency still allowed soy to be promoted as a healthy food for pregnant and lactating mothers and worse as the main ingredient in most infant formulas?

for the money!

Soy is inexpensive and allows the food industry to make huge profits that would be unachievable without the quantities that they proizvode.Vlade GDP depends on taxes to the economy going as it should, while the appropriate low-cost alternative is found this will just keep on going.

And it's no wonder that most of the experts within the government run food agencies are also major shareholders in manufacturing companies that benefit from the earnings of soybean production are given.

So, please, check it! As I always tell you, if you are cooking from scratch and fresh and organic ingredients, you have to recognize everything on the label as a wholefood and if soy is one of those things - do not use
