What You Need to Know About Soy

5/22/2013

If you look on the labels of many common products today, soy is seemingly everywhere. There are a few important things you should know about soy before making your next purchase. In this video, I will teach you what to look for on the label to ensure you are consuming soy in its most healthy form. Unfortunately, some versions of soy may be negatively impacting our hormonal health, which is a vital part of our overall well-being.

I eat a lot A LOT of SOY!! so glad to hear about non-GMO soy and will be looking out more for it. as well as soy protein. as a vegetarian, I eat a lot of soy Wendy and also eat a lot of veggie meats:) afraid to see what soy products or breakdown of those soy products are in those products I regularly eat!

glad you're on this mission to help us change our lives, diets and life by keeping toxins at bay. never really was paying attention to this as much as I am now.

Hi Vishnu! I am so glad you found the video helpful. I too was eating a lot of soy and veggie meats. It has been a continual learning process as I go. I care very much about protecting our health and trying to teach what I learn. There is so much to learn, and it makes me sad that our health as a nation is very poor. I think a lot of the time we just don't know what impacts our health and how so I'm doing my best to break it down. Have a great weekend!

It is amazing how much soy is in all the foods we eat. Amazing and scary. I no longer drink soy milk, but I do eat edamame beans (only occasionally). Thank you for sharing all this good information, my friend. As always, you inspire me to live healthier!

Thank you, Monet! Your words mean a lot to me :) Soy truly is in so many products. One thing I realized only recently was that soy can even be in store bought hummus, which I used to eat a lot of. Thank you very much for your encouragement!

Wendy, I absolutely agree with you about buying organic to avoid GMO! I have been staying away from soy all together. This was such a great vlog! The only makeup I use is eyeliner and I get it at Sephora, it's made by Tart. I love it and it's one of the safe eyeliners! I also started ordering lip balms and lotion from hardlotion.com - I think you will love both, their product, and the amazing family behind it! Thank you again for this video! <3

Thank you, Vicky! I'm so happy to hear about the products you love. There are so many options out there and I'm on a mission to find the safest, healthiest options. It means a lot you sharing. I think the less makeup the better for our skin. Something I am working on personally. Have a beautiful weekend!

Such an important topic!

We've drastically increased our soy intake since becoming vegan (almost a year ago now!) - in that we drink soymilk every day (unsweetened). Before I decided to make that change, I researched which were organic, and GMO free and was very happy with EdenSoy's track record. They are very open with their processes, and are becoming verified by the GMO project (even though it seems they have been GMO free for many many years, just not certified).

I do still try to avoid the more processed soy - tofurky, etc. except on special occasions. But it really is a challenge - there is soy in everything. THANK YOU for the info on soy protein isolate containing more hormones - I will be more vigilant in my label reading now!

Unrelated to soy, I have found that when I have a breakout, taking two Tbs of raw organic apple cider vinegar in the morning, followed by a glass of water, for a few days in a row clears things up well. It's nasty, but worthwhile! :)

Great video Wendy. GMO and some non-GMO portions of soy are in almost every processed food out there. Especially, vegan fake meats. I try to avoid these as much as possible, but sometimes give in to the temptation to make a fast microwave ready meal. Whenever I have done this for any extended length of time I've noticed breakouts as well.

If you find yourself hungry for a protein shake and are now eliminating soy protein, try looking for Vega One products. Vega One is soy free and offers a tremendous amount of protein from sources like brown rice, hemp, green, savi seed, pea's and greens.

Chad, thank you so much for the tip about Vega One! I'm definitely going to pick some up. I love the idea of having a protein shake in the morning after my workout. It is so helpful to hear of one you like. It is really interesting that you notice breakouts if you eat some of those soy products for an extended amount of time, too. Have a wonderful week!

Kelly, Thank you so much for the raw organic apple cider vinegar tip!! How funny is it that I just bought some right before receiving your tip? I definitely think it was a sign. I hope you and your family had a lovely weekend! :)

I do hope all of you people and anyone that reads this blog post is fighting to stop GMO's or at best get them labeled. Thanks for your video. It is a good reminder to be on the lookout.

Lori,

Definitely so important to spread the word! So many don't know about GMOs and the impact on our health and planet. Thank you for your comment. Have a great week!
