Hey Dianne, time for a pop quiz.
Which will kill you immediately?
5mg of soy or 5mg of caffeine?
CAFFEINE.
As far as soy is concerned, like a number of other healthy foods, is a goitrogen: eat too much on an iodine-deficient diet and you may develop a swollen, underactive thyroid gland) Your book consistently deceives and manipulates the reader in order to build a false case. Your editor and publisher are leaders of the Weston A. Price Foundation, which opposes plant-based diets based on one dentist’s 1930s research and hypotheses. Building your case mostly on a selective reading of animal studies. One study found that high doses of soy isoflavones failed to increase the effect of a thyroid carcinogen in rats. In the other two papers (here and here), researchers from the Northern California Cancer Center sought to find out why Southeast Asian women living in the United States have a high rate of thyroid cancer. Soy wasn’t one of the reasons. Women who consumed the most soy had nearly half the risk of those who consumed the least. Nor do you reassure your readers that a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that women who had spontaneously consumed the most dietary soy isoflavones were 40 percent less likely than those who consumed the least to have been diagnosed with endometrial cancer.You constantly alleging or insinuating that scientists who publish soy-friendly research are in the pocket of the soy industry. I receive no funding whatsoever from the industry. Just providing an alternative to coffee, which, I believe, is the bigger evil to consider.

I know your answer would be the caffeine. But for someone with a severe allergy to soy like myself, if I didn’t have Benadryl or an EpiPen, even just 1mg of soy could kill me!

My editor and publisher have nothing to do with the Weston A. Price Foundation. You must be referring to my website resource.

My studies in the book show both sides to let the people decide for themselves.

I only wanted to bring to the public’s attention that if they are not feeling like themselves (like I suffered for eight years with nausea, bloating, palpitations, and unusal weight gain), while doctors didn’t have a clue – they may want to eliminate soy products and see if they don’t start to feel better.

Your site regarding The Hidden Dangers of Soy looks very interesting to me. I found it doing a search for soy allergy.

I am now following updates from Dianne Gregg. Anyone who listens to me speak usually hears me lecture on the how important it is for you to REMOVE soy from your food selections. Get off the soy milk, get off the tofu, and get off all the soy in packaged products, quit using soy oil and vegetable oil. In fact, quit eating out at 99% of restaurants! You’ll feel better and find yourself losing weight. Soy is NOT a health food. I can eat just about anything (if I choose to) but soy sent me over the edge. When I called the manufacturer of the Revival soy line, a Doctor no less, complaining of the outrageous effects I was experiencing on his products, he said that no one else had reported such symptoms (racing heart, sleeplessness, weight gain). Hah! I have since met 2 people who had the same reactions!
