Additionally, natto, produced from the fermentation of soy beans by means of a bacterium called Bacillus subtillus, has been eaten by the Japanese for hundreds of years. It has been credited with many medicinal properties and only recently have scientists given the enzyme found in natto a name: nattokinase.

In animal models and in lab dish studies, phytoestrogens bind weakly to estrogen receptors on living cells and can either produce or inhibit estrogen effects.

Milling corn into corn starch loses 98% of the magnesium. When soy beans are cooked, they lose 69% of their magnesium. Quick-cooking oatmeal provides only about 15% of the magnesium obtained from the slow-cooking cereal. As the nation's eating habits have gone from freshly prepared items made in the home to prepared, processed meals and "fast foods" taken on the run, the magnesium content of the food has plummeted."3 Our bodies simply cannot extract adequate nutrition from today's "fast" and processed foods.

Macrobiotics is a quasi philosophical/therapeutic system of health that advocates a semi-vegetarian diet, with an emphasis on whole grains, soy beans, miso soup, raw foods and herbal teas. The strictest of macrobiotic diet consists of just brown rice and water. The standard macrobiotic diets are low in calories and fat and high in fiber from whole grains. The macrobiotic diet is also rich in plant estrogens (phytoestrogens). These elements speak for why the macrobiotic diet became popular among cancer patients.

The fermentation process of making miso concentrates the molecules found in soy beans. [Journal National Cancer Institute 95: 906-13, 2003] Americans hear of the benefits of soy, so they drink soy milk, and eat soy cereal and soy burgers. But the Japanese don't eat these foods, they eat fermented sources of soy. There is an obvious difference. Fermented soy extracts and concentrates beneficial molecules from the soybean. Tea: hot water extraction Another common practice throughout the world is the consumption of hot tea.

Production takes place in industrial factories where a slurry of soy beans is first mixed with an alkaline solution to remove fiber, then precipitated and separated using an acid wash and finally neutralized in an alkaline solution. Acid washing in aluminum tanks leaches high levels of aluminum into the final product. The resultant curds are spray dried at high temperatures to produce a high protein powder. A final indignity to the original soybean is high-temperature, high-pressure extrusion processing of soy protein isolate to produce textured vegetable protein (tvp). ...

Conversion of Isoflavones Soy isoflavones, which may be classified as "other non-nutritive components," are phytochemicals found in soy beans. Currently, soy is the only recognized nutritionally relevant source of isoflavones. The primary isoflavones in soy are genistin and daidzin. Following ingestion, these glycosides are hydrolyzed by intestinal glucosidases and converted to the aglycone form of genistein and daidzein. These aglycones are further converted by certain intestinal microflora into specific metabolites, such as equol. Chemically, equol is similar to the hormone estradiol.

Red meat consumption doubles risk of colon cancer, says study; is it time to go vegetarian yet? Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It takes 10 acres to produce the same amount of red meat protein as it does to produce one acre of soy beans. And producing spirulina yields a tenfold increase over the production of soybeans. So think about it: one acre of farmland used to produce spirulina can produce 100 times as much protein as beef and red meat. That will be very important to realize as our world population grows and it becomes increasingly difficult to produce the protein required by the population.

Raw legume sprouts, such as mung beans, kidney beans, lentils and soy beans, can drain the body of water. If legumes are eaten, the best legumes are chickpeas and peanuts (wild Amazonian peanuts, the only peanuts ever to test free of aflatoxin, are now available at www.rawfood.com). Chickpeas should be sprouted. Peanuts may be soaked until plump before eating, although they are nice in their dried state as well. Both chickpeas and peanuts have a higher ratio of fat to protein than other legumes, but chickpeas are still protein-dominant.

The majority of the world's population now, on civilization's various diets, consume only 13 varieties of plants: bananas, beans, beets (beet-derived sugar), corn, oranges, potatoes, rice, wheat, soy beans, sugar cane, sweet potato, cassava and coconut. The first 9 of these 13 listed are such hybridized foods (or genetically modified) that they are either seedless or produce seeds incapable of surviving independently in Nature.

Considering the latter, evidence has demonstrated that consumption by animals of roasted soy beans can result in reduced plasma T3, possibly because of an effect on peripheral T4 deiodination.131 Findings also indicated T3 was higher among casein-fed animals and lower among animals fed an equivalent amount of soy protein concentrate. Soy protein consumption also was found to contribute to age-related alterations in thyroid hormone in animals. These alterations included a decline in T4, fT4, T3, and 2,3'-T2 and an increase in rT3.

Soy foods, such as tofu, soy milk, roasted soy beans, and soy protein powders, may be beneficial in preventing osteoporosis. Isoflavones from soy have protected against bone loss in animal studies.34 In a double-blind trial, postmenopausal women who supplemented with 40 grams of soy protein powder (containing 90 mg of isoflavones) per day were protected against bone mineral loss in the spine, although lower amounts were not protective.

Soy went west when traders, missionaries, botanists and other travelers brought soybeans back from China and Japan. soy beans served as useful ballast on ships as well as culinary or horticultural curiosities. In 17th-century France, soy sauce became the "secret seasoning" used at court banquets; but other types of soy foods failed to appeal to the western palate. In 1770, Ben Franklin sent soybeans home from the continent with the enthusiastic recommendation that they be grown in America.

Several years ago, I began to consume huge quantities of soy and soy products: soy beans, soy meat substitutes, soy milk, the whole thing. Recently, I had an extensive series of blood tests, just out of curiosity. I was shocked to find out that my parathyroid hormone (PTH) level was 274.0 (the normal range was 12.0-72.0). My doctor told me to stop eating soy and to take calcium supplements with vitamin D. I retested several months later and my PTH was back to normal.

After completing the L-asparaginase phase of chemotherapy, use whole-soy products, such as tofu or cooked soy beans, in your daily meal plans. (Be sure to use cooked soy beans, as raw beans can cause the breakdown of red blood cells.) Soy is a rich source of natural L-asparagine, which replaces asparagine depleted by the drug. However, do not give soy foods to children under age six, since soy contains a chemical that interferes with the mechanisms which inhibit leukemia-cell growth.

It tastes like chicken, has as much protein, is low in calories, and high in calcium. It is, in fact, one of the best foods, nutritionally. Finally, you can enjoy a salad at dinner. It should be a sprout salad on Monday. Make yourself a dressing, one without oil. There are many recipes for oil-less dressings.

Soy Tofu, tempeh, miso, and some protein powders in health food stores are derived from soy beans (p. 332). A meta-analysis of many studies has proven that soy protein reduces both total and LDL cholesterol.37 Isoflavones from soy beans may also have this effect.38 Trials showing statistically significant reductions in cholesterol have generally used more than 30 grams per day of soy protein. Sugar Eating sugar has been reported to reduce protective HDL cholesterol39 and increases other risk factors linked to heart disease.

Cooked on their own, soy beans have a rich deep flavor and are won-derfuly palatable. The whole cooked bean does not soften like other beans and has a gelatinous, slippery texture that most Americans find unpleasant. Young soy sprouts are very tasty and make a fine dish by themselves or an excellent addition to a vegetable salad. Unless well cooked, soybeans are difficult to digest. The fermentation process, such as that used in tempeh, tofu, miso, and soy sauce, eliminates this problem, and the resulting products are highly digestible.
