How To Determine If You Have A Soy Intolerance
Although advertising has led many of us to believe that soy is healthy, the fact of the matter is that for many people it creates, rather than prevents health problems – including obesity, hypothyroidism, osteoporosis and indigestion.
Even those who know soy is not good for them have trouble avoiding it. In the Western version soy is found in over 60% of food products, even in places where you would not expect it to be.
If you haven’t been feeling like yourself lately, I’ve created a soy quiz to assist you by answering yes or no.
· Are you gaining weight and believe you are eating a healthy diet?
· Do you experience nausea, bloating, palpitations, anxiety, or gastric disorders?
· Do you feel tired all the time even when you get enough sleep?
· Are you just not feeling like yourself and can't figure out why?
· Are you menopausal and believe that soy relieves “hot flashes”, prevents osteoporosis, and lowers cholesterol?
What Your Answers Mean: If you answered, “Yes” for two or more of these questions it may be related to your soy consumption.
And now I would like you to claim your free chapter of The Hidden Dangers of Soy and visit: http://www.hiddensoy.com/soy-health-risks.php

Take The Soy Quiz
TAKE THE SOY QUIZ
If you are not feeling like yourself, and have symptoms such as nausea, bloating, gastric disorders, unusual weight gain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or lack of energy, a soy allergy may be the culprit. While not everyone will have a severe reaction, it’s important to be aware of what foods you may be eating that are triggering a change in the way you feel. Take this quick quiz to see if soy might be affecting your health.
I use to have a soy protein drink for breakfast every morning. Does it fill you up? Not me. They claim that because they are filled with bone-building and heart-healthy soy protein, they reduce overall calories and fat grams. If this is true, how come I gained weight with my active lifestyle? And what about women who are in their forties that start gaining weight? I believe it’s because of the all the soy products that they are consuming. And, they could possibly be developing thyroid disease and not know it. Don’t believe what you hear about women going through menopause. It didn’t reduce my “hot flashes”, lower my cholesterol, decrease my risk for heart disease, or osteoporosis. What soy did do was slowly but surely, killing me! And, I thought I was following a healthy diet with all the soy I consumed.

Dianne Gregg is the author of The Hidden Dangers of Soy (Outskirts Press, 2008). After developing a severe allergy to soy that nearly killed her, Dianne Gregg learned the truth behind this supposed health food. “The Hidden Dangers of Soy” is the culmination of her efforts to educate others on the issue in hopes more will avoid soy’s underreported—yet widely researched—negative health impacts. Dianne hosts Health Watch Radio, a weekly show featuring interviews with inspiring guests from a variety of fields -- health, wellness, fitness, personal growth and empowerment, etc. Listen to Dianne on the radio Tuesdays, 4pm - 5pm EST http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Heath-Watch-Radio

Cheerios Gets Bad Wrap From FDA
I believe Cheerios is getting a bad wrap because General Mills isn't the only company that makes claims that their product reduces cholesterol.
The FDA says in a warning letter to General Mills that language on the Cheerios box suggests the cereal is designed to prevent or treat heart disease. The language says “may” prevent heart disease just like so many other manufacturers claim their products have some health benefit.
Regulators say that only FDA-approved drugs are allowed to make such claims. General Mills are not promoting their product as a drug. And neither are the others. Why single out General Mills?
For example, soy product manufacturers claim that soy protein and soy isoflavones lowers cholesterol, relieves menopausal symptoms, may reduce the risk of cancer, and is a healthy substitute. Why doesn't the FDA go after the soy industry for their false claims?
The AHA retracted their endorsement of soy products because based on their own studies, cholesterol levels were not significant enough to warrant that claim.
On October 26, 1999, the FDA authorized the use of health claims about the role of soy protein in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) on labeling of foods containing soy protein. This final rule is based on the FDA's conclusion that foods containing soy protein included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of CHD by lowering blood cholesterol levels.
They stated foods that may be eligible for the health claim include soy beverages, tofu, tempeh, soy-based meat alternatives, and possibly some baked goods. Foods that carry the claim must also meet the requirements for low fat, low saturated fat, and low cholesterol content except the foods made with the whole soybean may also qualify for the health claim if they contain no fat in addition to that present in the whole soybean.
The Western version of soy has toxins that are detrimental to your health. Why is that allowed?
In 2006, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported on a study of 55 patients with high cholesterol who, over the course of a year, started eating a diet rich in soy proteins, fiber and almonds. All those foods may have cholesterol-lowering properties. Really?
Due to my soy allergy, Cheerios is the only cereal I can eat with confidence because it does not contain soybean oil, and synthetic vitamin E.
I want the FDA to be more vigilant when it comes to our exported food, and leave General Mills alone for a product that isn’t killing anyone!
We are all aware of the serious problems we have had from tainted food, to lead poisoning in toys.
I would love to hear your views. Please comment here.
