has received “self-determined” GRAS status, not approved U.S.A. FDA GRAS status, for its
AdvantaSoyTMClearTM isoflavone supplement to be used as an additive for
beverages, nutrition bars, yoghurt, meal replacements and confections. The summaries of abstract studies, the
evidence, attached here give ample demonstration of the real dangers to the
general public of adding phytoestrogens (isoflavones) to common foods, as well as, exposing the very real
dangers imposed onto the general public by the soy and the food industries “Self Regulation”, “Economic Self
Interest”, and the risks of abandoning “The Precautionary Principle.”
.
This collection of scientific research
abstracts, ( the
evidence ), out of a continually growing list of hundreds available,
represents a fast growing body of scientifically creditable medical and dietary
research on the many serious health hazards, (including cancer), of putting soy
& soy ingredients in our food supply.
Almost all of the abstracts presented here are also published in
the NIH Medline PubMed data base and are representative of current and past
research from around the world, in 2004 and going back to 1916, 1911, even as far back as 1907. Full
research is also available via these abstracts.
Notice some of the research studies include those from the US Department
of Energy and NCTR which are Federally operated and funded, and other very
reputable research institutions from around the world.
.
This collection of scientific
research abstracts is from well-designed studies, from around the world,
conducted in a manner which is consistent with generally recognized scientific
procedures & principles which show that there does exist significant scientific agreement among experts
from around the world, [qualified by
scientific training, experience and expertise], a very strong statistically significant association of harm to
human and to animal health from the consumption of soy, soy protein, and soy
estrogen ingredients in our food supply and an INCREASED RISK
of a variety of cancers and other major and life threatening health problems,
referred to in this body of evidence as “Hidden Harm,” which includes but not
limited to this list of known, “ignored”
and still denied “Side-Effects”
of ... endocrine disruption ... thyroid suppression ...
immune system suppression ... heart disease ...
liver disease ... leukemia, (IAL) ...
Cancer(s) - breast, bone, uterine, liver, colon, pancreas, thyroid etc ...
Arthritis ... infertility / lower sex drive ...
growth problems ... subtle changes in sexually dimorphic
behaviors ... Osteoporosis ... learning
disabilities & Alzheimer’s / Parkinson’s Disease from Brain /
Nervous System damage ... chromosome fragmentation & errors in
chromosome orientation ... DNA damage ... “DEATH”. Note: Genistein in soy is also a Topoisomerase II-poison pages, 32, 44. Read testimonials on pages 15 to 20, 100,
116, 117, and 122 – 126.
.
See
page 121 for a more detailed list of “ignored”
health hazards associated with eating soy, which are also
being called “adverse medical and developmental conditions.” For
taking “legal action”
against the manufactures and sellers of soy products regarding developing these medical
problems while eating soy, see pages 120, 4-7, 10, 18 and 97-119. For some of the history on how
and why soy got into
our food supply, and why soy is still in our food supply, see pages 4, 5, 11, 12,
18, 105. Now, see the “evidence,” the proof of harm, which includes but is not limited
to the over 205 scientific research abstracts from around the world between 1907 into 2004 on pages 29 - 84 and also read
what everyone can do about it on pages 118 and 142. This research paper
will reveal and easily prove why the addition of isoflavones to common foods have always posed a clear & extreme danger to the public and should not be allowed.

As evidence on toxicity of soy isoflavones
accumulates, warnings have begun to appear in the popular press. An article
appearing in the Washington
Post Health Section
was titled: “You have to be soy careful:
tofu and similar foods may be beneficial, but some experts fear that too much
could be unsafe.”(8.) Writing for the New York Times, health columnist Marian Burros published
the following: “Against the backdrop of
widespread praise ... there is growing suspicion that soy-despite its
undisputed benefits-may pose some health hazards ... Not one of the 18
scientists interviewed for this column was willing to say taking isoflavones
was risk free”(9.) .

Soy
protein isolate is big business. One of
the biggest producers of soy protein is Protein Technologies International
of St. Louis, a DuPont subsidiary. (Finucan) We
must appreciate the brilliance of taking a waste product from an already
extremely processed food source and getting the majority of the population to
think of this dead by-product as a food staple.
In general, the vast majority of soy
products today are examples of a super-refined
artificial food, devitalized, and devoid of nutritional value. It is a true food of commerce, as Royal Lee would have said.
THE GOLDEN BEAN
Why doesn't anyone know about all this ??. How can we go from a perfect food to a
non-food and have 99% of the population know nothing about it ??. When this familiar scenario appears, it
always means one thing: time to follow the money.
In that regard, here's some interesting
statistics: Today, the soybean is America's 3rd
largest crop (harvesting 73.8 million acres in 2002), supplying more than 50 percent of the world's soybean demand.

“The Newest
Research On Why You Should Avoid Soy”
by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig PhD., 2000

“... The
propaganda that has created the soy sales
miracle is all the more remarkable because, only a few decades ago, the soybean
was considered unfit to eat - even in
“... However, the
pictograph for the soybean, which dates from earlier times than the Chou
Dynasty, indicates that it was not first used as a food ; for whereas the pictographs for the other four grains show
the seed and stem structure of the plant, the pictograph for the soybean
emphasizes the root structure.
Agricultural literature of the period speaks frequently of the soybean and
its use in crop rotation. Apparently the soy plant was initially used
as a method of fixing nitrogen”. 13.
“... The soybean did not serve as a food until the
discovery of fermentation techniques, some time during the Chou Dynasty. The first soy foods were fermented products
like tempeh, natto, miso and soy sauce. At a later date, possibly in the 2nd
century BC, Chinese scientists discovered that a purée of cooked soybeans could
be precipitated with calcium sulfate or magnesium sulfate (plaster of Paris or
Epsom salts) to make a smooth, pale curd - tofu or bean curd. The use of fermented and precipitated soy
products soon spread to other parts of the Orient, notably
“... The Chinese did not eat unfermented soybeans as they
did other legumes such as lentils because the soybean contains large quantities
of natural
toxins or "anti-nutrients". First among them are potent enzyme
inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for
protein digestion ...”.
“... These inhibitors are large, tightly folded proteins
that are not completely deactivated during ordinary cooking. They can produce
serious gastric distress, reduced protein digestion and chronic deficiencies in
amino acid uptake. In test animals,
diets high in trypsin inhibitors cause enlargement and pathological conditions
of the pancreas, including cancer ...”. 14.
“... Soybeans also contain haemagglutinin, a clot-promoting
substance that causes red blood cells to clump together. Trypsin inhibitors and
haemagglutinin are growth inhibitors.
“... Soy advertisers selectively claim lower rates of
reproductive cancers for Japanese and Asians eating soy, while ignoring the
fact that these same people also have much higher rates of cancer of the ...
esophagus ... stomach ... liver ... pancreas ... and thyroid ... particularly
as soy causes these same types of cancers in laboratory test animals. 37-39

Soy Warning
Labels, For Medical Reasons
Two of The USA F.D.A.’s Expert Scientists
Protest Soy Approval.
Researchers and “Whistle-blowers” Daniel Doerge Ph.D and Daniel Sheehan Ph.D are two of the
U.S.A.’s Food and Drug Administration’s,
FDA, expert scientists on soy who signed a Feb. 18, 1999 letter of protest to
the FDA when the FDA granted soy a “health claim” in 1999. This letter expresses serious concerns
regarding the perceived safe use of soy, if soy was to be granted a “health
claim,” and includes 26 documented scientific referenced studies, (Abstracts),
that show a link between eating soy and serious health problems.
In their
letter of protest they said, “… it is inappropriate to allow a health claim for
Soy Protein Isolate, SPI, … it could be misinterpreted, … the health
labeling of SPI for foods needs to be considered just as would the addition of
any “Estrogen” or “Goitrogen” to foods, which are bad ideas. Estrogenic and goitrogenic drugs are regulated by the FDA, and
are taken under a physician’s care.
Patients are informed of risks, and are monitored by their physicians
for evidence of toxicity.
No similar safeguards are in place for foods, so the public
will be put at potential risk from soy isoflavones in SPI without adequate
warning and information...”

WHO/Codex General Standards for Soy Protein Products
WHO/Codex Standard 175-1989
6.3 (c) When
tested by appropriate methods of sampling and examination, the product shall not contain other poisonous substances
which may represent a hazard to health.
WHO/Codex General Guidelines for the Utlization of
Vegetable Protein Products (VPP) in Foods CAC/GL 4-1989
4.1 VPP intended for human consumption should
not represent a hazard to health.
Annex
. The raw materials from which VPP are produced may
contain naturally occurring toxic or anti-nutritional factors. Some of these
factors may still be present in VPP after processing. In the light of the above
observations it becomes important that prior to the use as human food, VPP be
subjected to adequate testing to demonstrate safety and appropriate nutritional
quality. A distinct VPP needs to be tested pursuant to this guideline only
once, that is, to obtain a toxicological and nutritional profile for VPP. Prior
history of safe use may be taken into account in the evaluation of a novel VPP
proposed for general consumption, but this alone is not necessarily sufficient
to preclude adequate pre-clinical testing by currently available, more
objective, laboratory animal feeding studies, and, where applicable, studies
using human volunteers.
1.4 Toxicological Safety:
The safety of the VPP should
be predicted from information concerning methods of production, chemical and
physical properties. This should be supported, where necessary, by safety data
using laboratory animals.
2.4.1 Subacute Toxicity Studies:
The purpose of these studies
is to delineate the toxic potential of VPP and to elucidate such problems as
species sensitivity, the nature of gross and micro-pathological changes and the
approximate dose level at which these effects occur. They also provide
guidelines for the selection of dosage for chronic toxicity tests and any
functional or biochemical studies that may be necessary.
2.4.1.3 Length of Study:
Subacute
toxicity feeding trials should be at least three months duration.
2.4.2 Other Studies:
Following an appraisal of the
source and the method of manufacture of the VPP together with the results of
nutritional and subacute toxicity studies, the need for further studies
including chronic, reproduction, teratogenic and mutagenic studies will be
evaluated.
SOS comment: There is clear evidence that Soy Protein does
not meet WHO/Codex Guidelines.

Fermented Soy ...
Cancer Chemo-preventative ??

The soy industry’s claim that "...
fermented soy products like, Natto, Tempeh, Soy Sauces, Fermented tofu and
soymilk, and Miso are particularly rich in the isoflavone aglycones, genistein
and daidzein, which they say are believed to be cancer chemo-preventatives
...". The
implication by the soy industry is that these natural occurring chemical
compounds are good, for instance in cancer prevention, if they are consumed in
natto or miso (not exactly staples of Western diets), when in fact it is
exactly these same chemicals that are the endocrine disrupters which have so
alarmed many independent scientists around the world. Genistein
in particular is fingered, was proven, by FDA scientists, S.S. Kuan, O.J.
Francis, et al, at the FDA's NCTR and the New Orleans Poisonous Plants laboratories, way back in 1991, as carcinogenic, estrogenic, cytotoxic, anti-thyroid, on
research lasting over 3 months, Page 126…(see 10
th World Congress Report, pg. 527)
But, what soy industry also KNOWS but still NEVER tells people when
claiming fermented soy is chemo-preventative is ... it all depends on the dose
levels of these chemicals, [even
though this principle has been a basic teaching since 1500's in
the science of Toxicology-(see research by the famous Swiss physician “Paracelsus” ... http://www.mindfully.org/Pesticide/Paracelsus-Dose-ToxicologyOct01.htm
.).]. At high chemotherapy dose levels genistein
& daidzein kills cells, and cancer cells. But the dose levels needed for
this chemotherapy type responses, (the soy industry claims to happen from
eating fermented soy), are also at dose levels far beyond
those achievable at dietary consumption levels. So, their claim of
chemo-preventative has no relevance at all when it comes to consuming
these chemicals at dietary levels in soy or vitamin supplements. As the
scientific research clearly demonstrates, at dietary levels genistein and
daidzein disrupts
and damages the immune and hormone system, and also causes a variety of health
problems including a variety of cancers, and DNA damage.
This claim by the soy industry clearly
shows the fallacy of seeking and promoting short-term results and ignoring
long-term consequences, administering drugs to people who don't need them, a
case of hidden mass medication upon the unsuspecting and unknowing public.
Fermentation only lowers the toxin levels,
it doesn’t eliminate them. To get the lowest toxin level, fermentation needs to
be at least 2 years, as Asians do, not like in

Sunlight Actually
Prevents Skin Cancer
http://www.mercola.com/2002/apr/3/sun_prevents_cancer.htm
“... Skin cancers are more likely related
to the large distortion most people have in their Omega-6 and Omega-3
fat ratios ... The likeliest
mechanism for a protective effect of sunlight is vitamin D, which is
synthesized by the body in the presence of Ultraviolet B, UV-B ...".
"...
Most people believe that sun exposure causes cancer. Nothing could be further from the truth. As this study published in the prestigious Cancer
journal, March 2002, indicates, exposure
to sun actually decreases
cancer rates ...”.
“...
So the solution is not to splatter sun block on. Sun block can be quite “toxic",
and should be avoided by most people ...”
“...
The sensible approach would be to limit sun exposure so you never get
sunburned. It
is sunburn in conjunction with — excess
omega-6 fats — that increases your risk of skin cancer. But even with the potential increase in skin
cancer, most skin cancers are relatively benign when compared with breast,
colon, and prostate cancers that lack of sun exposure is associated with ...”.
“...
So you can't have it both ways. Avoid
the sun and don't change your diet and you will lower your risk of skin
cancer, but increase your risk of far more common and deadlier cancers
... So why not change the fat content of your diet and use sensible sun
exposure guidelines and reap the benefits of sunlight ?.

As for the role of sunlight, researchers found an association between latitude

Known still Ignored
This 2002 study funded by
“United Soy Bean Board” and the
“Illinois Council on Food &
Agricultural Research”
Hormone-like compound found in Soy
products, including Soy-based infant formula & menopause remedies, may
impair immune function
When mice were injected with the “plant
estrogen" genistein, which is found in Soy products, levels of several immune cells dropped
and the thymus, a gland where immune cells mature, shrank.
Of course, people eat rather than inject
Soy products, but the thymus also became smaller in mice that consumed genistein in their
diet. This is particularly concerning, researchers say, since the resulting
blood levels of genistein in the mice were lower than those reported in human
babies fed soy formula.
A few reports from the late 1970's and
early 1980's suggested that a soy-based diet impaired infants' immune
functions. About 15% of infants in the

... ( See bottom of page 36 )
The abstract above shows that Soy has glycosides
of genistein and daidzein or plant based chemicals that
mimic estrogen. They
possess a wide range of hormonal and non-hormonal activities. The daily
exposure of infants who consume soy formulas was 6-11 times higher than adults consuming soy foods.
The blood concentration of these hormones
was 13,000 to 22,000 times higher than estrogen in the blood. The
authors of this article speculate that this concentration may be sufficient to
exert biological effects, whereas the contribution from breast-milk or
cow-milk is negligible.
Soy
formula is one of the worst foods that you could feed your child. Not only does it have profoundly adverse
hormonal effects as discussed above, but it also has over 1000 % more aluminum
than conventional milk based formulas
I don't recommend either, but if one, for
whatever reason, cannot breast feed, then non-soy Carnation Good Start until six months and Carnation
Follow-Up after that seem
to be the best commercial formula currently available. The milk protein is
hydrolyzed 80% that tends to significantly decrease its allergenicity.

It is also important to note that when

several decades that the milk will pass directly into the breast milk which can

Concerns about the potential carcinogenesis
of modern soy is not new.
1.) The Committee for Food Safety was worried
about it in 1966, the definitive textbook “Chemical Carcinogens” published by the American Chemical
Society in 1976 had a chapter titled “Plant Carcinogens” that
identified soy isoflavones as “known”
carcinogens.
2.) The “Life Sciences” Committee of FASEB in its 1978-9 “Evaluation of Soy Products
for Human Consumption”
for the Food and Drug Administration (SCOGS-101 under contract to the FDA #
223-75-2004) declined GRAS determination because
of the risks of carcinogenic ... nitrosamines
... lysinoalanines ... and
nitrite
occurring during the modern processing. (Not to mention the other
scientifically documented natural occurring carcinogenic chemicals is soy
called genistein and daidzein ).
3.) Moreover in 1999, an application by Archer Daniels Midland
Corp for GRAS determination of GRAS (GRN
00001) for isoflavones was declined due to the failure of the applicant to
reveal health risks.
4.) Soy protein does not have GRAS determination.
Soy protein was slipped into the food chain about 1959 even though the developmental research
(funded by ADM and Mead Johnson) demonstrated that it caused serious
infertility problems in laboratory rats and their offspring. This is recorded in a series of papers in the
“Journal of Nutrition” by Schultze, Liener et al in the 1950's
The only evaluation was in 1979 by the “Life Sciences” section of FASEB, and soy protein failed because of
the risk of nitrosamines forming in the heat treatment. FASEB
assumed the heat treatment was removing the natural poisons and did not evaluate their safety at
all. You will find a fuller discussion
of GRAS in the

… "Doses Simplified" gives an idea of how toxic the levels of
isoflavones are in the products.
5.) http://www.soyonlineservice.co.nz/04cancer.htm
. (Phytoestrogensn – Cancer) ... Why
does the Soy Online Service
Webmaster, Dr. Mike Fitzpatrick PhD, an environmental toxicologist and a
scientist of recognized international expertise, expresses the opinion that “the
lowest form of life on the planet” is anyone who claims soy and isoflavones
are protective against cancer ... without also revealing ... that there are numerous
world wide creditable scientific research studies, (including those by US
Federal Government research institutions), which show that Soy ... 1.) damages DNA, chromosomes and the immune system, ... 2.) cause cancer, ...
3.) cause existing cancer
cells to multiply, ...
4.) cause non-cancerous
tumors to turn cancerous ??. Because, those that make this claim are guilty of giving false hope to
millions of people, with or without cancer, by withholding and suppressing this
valuable life-saving scientific information.
But even far worse than all this, those that make this claim are placing
innocent consumers at a far greater risk of contracting this same horrendous
disease that all consumers are afraid of and are desperately trying to avoid. I
agree.
