The Whole Soy Story

Dear Kaayla,
I take great care to buy only organic as I’m sure all the problems with soy are because of GM soy. I think you should make this clear to your readers. Not all soys are alike.

Dear DF,

True, organic soy will ensure fewer pesticide residues than GM (genetically modified) soy. I highly recommend buying organic products whenever possible. That said, soy is a problem whether it is organic or not. All modern soy products carry a load of antinutrients and toxins including protease inhibitors, phytates, saponins, isoflavones and other components that have been proven to cause digestive distress, immune system breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, reproductive problems, etc, etc.
