Is there a problem with the free report about the foods that contain soy? I’m registered, but cannot download it.
Thanks for the comment – there was a problem on our end. All fixed up now — enjoy the free report.
Hi Kaayla!
I listened to you recently on Jimmy Moore’s podcast and enjoyed it very much. I appreciate the work you are trying to do to warn people of the dangers of soy through all your research. That’s why when “well-respected” and well-known doctors recommend soy and claim that for the most part it’s not harmful, it’s so frustrating.
A case in point would be the latest blog and Huffington Post article by Dr. Mark Hyman. He claims he has reviewed loads of research on soy and thinks it’s neither as good as some proponents claim nor as bad the naysayers. He takes on many of the criticisms one-by-one such as its effect on the thyroid, its ability to cause breast cancer, etc. and believes they are unfounded. He said that soy is not bad for the thyroid UNLESS a person is iodine deficient which he called “rare”.
I did reply to his blog posting and suggested he check you out, but I don’t know if my comments will make it past the moderator. Here’s the blog: http://drhyman.com/how-soy-can-kill-you-and-save-your-life-1815/
Hello Kaayla,
Thanks so much for all of your wonderful work! : )
I was speaking with someone recently who brought-up an issue that I have never heard addressed. He said that plants estrogens were not “bioidentical” to human estrogens. Do you have any idea what this person means? Furthermore, he went on to say that there are plenty of estrogens in cow’s milk so why differentiating between soy and cow’s milk.
Do you have any knowledge of this or could you point me in the right direction in terms of research.
Thank you : )
Hello Mr Kaayla!
It needs very much time to hear about you.
I´ve many nutrition books an I never have heared some bad about Soy.
This week, i received your book from England and I´m very angry about the facts inside.
8 Weeks ago, I´ve ordered 1 kilogram Soy Protein-Isolat.
This will be really my last one.
Is it better now to consume this Soy-isolat in many small dosages, or it´s better to throw it away?!
Thank you
I am so glad my book is helpful. Re that soy protein isolate, I’d try to return it and get your money back. If it’s not returnable, it would probably make a good fertilizer. Or perhaps you have a friend you don’t really like . . .
I discuss phytoestrogens in depth in chapters 26-30 in The Whole Soy Story. There are definitely problems with hormones in the commercial milk products sold in supermarkets. I recommend only raw milk from pastured goats or cows, and buying it directly from a local farmer you know. For information about safety and availability, visit http://www.realmilk.com. Many people who do not tolerate supermarket or health food store pasteurized, homogenized milks, thrive on raw milk.

In Germany we had now the ESL-milk.
The milk will heatet shortly at 127°C (degrees!) and then cooled down.
Advantage for the Consumer-Shops >longer stability (best bevore end) and lower waste.
Disadvantages are lower vitamins and may higher lysinoalanine concentration.
About the denaturing and may higher transforming into lysinoalanine, I can´t find anything
to read about that.
This is what I have seen at the german market.
Dear Will, Phytoestrogens are not identical to human estrogens but they are close enough to cause significant endocrine disruption. They are about 1/1000 the potency of human estrogens, but the quantities add up, especially for babies on soy formula or people who use soy as both meat and dairy replacements. Those people are at high risk for thyroid and reproductive problems, among other issues.
Re cow’s milk, I would definitely avoid supermarket milk because of BGH and other hormonal issues. Get raw milk from pastured cows. There are hormones in that milk but at safe levels and of a type the human body can handle. You will find wonderful information on the safety and availability of raw milk on the website http://www.realmilk.com Kaayla
Do check out my “Reply to Dr. Mark Hyman” on this website. Dr. Hyman and I also appeared on the Dr. Oz Show together on October 5. Thanks for listening to me on Jimmy Moore’s podcast.
I’d join the growing worldwide movt for raw milk. For information about safety and availabiity go to http://www.realmilk.com. I discuss the issue of lysinoalanines in “The Whole Soy Story.” They are an unwanted and toxic byproduct of processing.
How harmful is soy protein isolate and other similar things like hydrolyzed vegetable protein, etc?
Hi Kaayla,
I’ve just started researching your work. Since reading Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions I have been suspicious about soy but not known too much about it. I have a question I’m wondering if you could help with. My boyfriend is highly allergic to milk products, so he makes his own soy milk after soaking the soy beans overnight or longer, and I’m wondering if that is as dangerous as commercially available soymilk. Thank you!!!
Dear Ben, This came from my book published in 2005. The reference there was the New York Times, September 17 , 2003. The article was “Relentless Foe of the Amazon Jungle: Soybeans” by Larry Rohter.
For more current information, the reigning expert on GMO foods, including soybeans, is Jeffrey Smith of the Institute of Responsible Technology. He probably has current stats on the subject.
Dear Beck, It sounds like your boyfriend is soaking the beans properly and I’m guessing he also uses organic soybeans. Beware of the new fast-process soy milk makers that skip critical soaking and skimming steps that were traditionally used for making soymilk. That said, there is a lot of evidence suggesting that your boyfriend would be a risk if he drinks soymilk more than occasionally. Many people who are allergic to supermarket and health food store dairy products thrive on raw, unpasteurized, unhomogenized milk from pastured cows. For info on safety and availability, visit http://www.realmilk.com. If your boyfriend doesn’t tolerate any dairy, even raw, he still may want to reconsider his decision to drink soymilk. If the reason he drinks it is to have something white and wet on his cereal, I’d suggest coconut milk as a healthier option. If he’s doing it for the calcium and other vitamins and minerals in the soymilk, then he would do much better taking a high quality supplement. That would be especially true for homemade soy milk that would not contain the fortification with vitamins and minerals. While commercial soy milks do contain added calcium, it is always a cheap, hard to absorb form and the Vitamin D is always D2, the inferior vegetarian form.
Hello Kaayla,
Just 2 questions:
1- Is your book “The Whole Soy Stoy” have been translated to spanish or will it be in the future?
2- I have decided to become a vegetarian for almost 6 months, fortunately i read about the problems with soy some time ago so i avoid taking it. What concerns me is that all the books about vegetarian nutrion that i have consulted recommend the use of soy as a substitute of animal proteins. I was wondering if you know some reliable books that can help me having a good vegeterian nutrition without the use of soy.
Thanks a lot!
Dear Alejo, We don’t yet have a Spanish translation of The Whole Soy Story. The book comes out in French soon though and I’m hoping for a Spanish edition at some point. Meanwhile, I’d advise you become a healthy vegetarian by eating raw milk, butter and free range eggs. Good sources of these will help you greatly. Also learn about why it’s healthier to soak seeds, nuts, beans etc. That will improve their digestibility and eliminate many of the toxins. I’d also recommend that you read the book The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith. Good lcuk, Kaayla
