re: Concerns Regarding Soybeans

Thank you, Dr. Mercola, for updating this article by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig. I had read the original article from a Google search on soybeans. I had developed a concern about them from my research on phosphates; I had read in Dr. Batmanghelidj's books that phosphates would replace magnesium in the body weight for weight (I have often had a magnesium defficiency).

I've noticed that Soybean panacea is being surged again in promotional pushes. I'm becoming deeply concerned about this type of criminal promotion. I am equally concerned at how easily people, even intelligent professionals, can be duped by hype and snake oil promises. Likely snake oils had more potential regeneration qualities than current products pushed as cure alls.

I've written an article about my health difficulties which I've attributed to long term ingestion of products infiltrated with soybeans. What frightens me is that supermarkets have bought the hype. I'm continually finding more foods with the 7 inch long ingredients lists which red-flag soy. I've not been able to find one offering of mayonnaise or prepared salad dressings without soybean oil listed as a main ingredient, if not THE main ingredient.

I'll avoid further details of ranting here. If you're interested in reading my article, "Sawdust is Soybean's Twin Sister," please feel free to visit my Author-Connect Amazon Profile page (I have 7 books available on Amazon's KINDLE, including a paranormal murder mystery) or visit my page on Gather.com. I will be posting my Sawdust/Soybean article after I post this comment. I've included links in my article to the page here for the original article by Fallon/Enig, "Cinderella's Dark Side." I'm happy to see this update of that information, and will include a link to it, too. Noting the recent dramatic increase in SoyJOY hype, and of soy in supermarkets, I was hoping Dr. Mercola had provided a more recent confirmation that he stands by his views on soy.

This article is a bit overwhelming. Many of the terms used confused me. It will take several readings to fully digest it. However it has left me with conerned about our family's consumption of soy products. We live in China and soy is everywhere. With 3 small children i am not sure if they should be eating this.
