Soy

What I found out about Soy is that soy has been part of countries including China, Indonesia, and Japan for centuries. Unlike many other types of plants the Soybean is high in protein but it is still healthy. How it is healthy is that it helps prevent hormone-related cancers, heart disease, Osteoporosis, and alleviates Menopausal symptoms. However there is soy that is heavily-processed, un-organic soy that is not good for you. Some of the symptoms of eating non-organic soy is for males high levels of estrogen, decrease your body's ability to properly digest protein, thyroid impairment, and impairs your body's ability to obtain vitamins and minerals. Some of the non-organic soy you want to avoid is soy infant formula that can cause problems for young children, soy milk, and soy protein isolate. The Soy that is healthy is organic. In my opinion after looking at this information I think that Soy is good for you, but the non-organic soy is the real problem for soy products. I think in the market we need to find another way to make soy healthy so that we can avoid the problems of non-organic soy.
