Whats wrong with Soya?
Soya – it’s a controversial story. While the health benefits of soya consumption have been shouted from the rooftops for many years now, there are also frequent reports that it may actually be bad for your health. The pro-soya view tells us that this wonder-food will reduce your risk of breast and prostate cancer, strengthen your bones, ease menopausal symptoms, prevent heart disease, is an excellent ‘hypoallergenic’ alternative to cow’s milk and a perfect protein source for vegetarians and vegans. On the other hand, we hear that Soya may actually contribute to the development of hormone-linked cancers of the breast and prostate, that it may suppress thyroid function, reduce fertility in men and affect the sexual and mental development of children. Also, that its allergic potential could be significant and serious. So, what’s the truth? Let’s look at the facts.
