soy : TOXIN or HEALTH FOOD?

Salam and hey everybody.

It's been awhile I didn't post anything, please forgive me because now, I'm busy with many assignments that I must complete about Basic Themes of Al Quran Karim.

I have got some emails from my friends and they asked about why soy is extremely hard on our body system. One of them also want me to show a proof(dalil) from al-Quran about soy's bad effects.

Yeah, seriously, I admitted that, al-Quran Karim is a Book of Knowledge, but based on what I have learned, there are other sources of knowledge and one of them is through observation, means research or experiment.

there's no proof (dalil) from al Quran Karim about soy but, i take this verse as account.

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلاَّ رِجَالاً نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ فَاسْأَلُواْ أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ

'Tanyalah kamu kepada orang yang mengetahui tentang sesuatu sekiranya kamu tidak mengetahui'.
Before thee, also, the messengers We sent were but men, to whom We granted inspiration: If ye realise this not, ask of those who possess the Message.
(Surah al-Anbiyaa’: 7)

Have you ever wondered about soy? It's promoted as the miracle food that will feed the world while at the same time prevent and cure all manner of diseases.

First, I didnt mention that soy is a poison,but, I want to stress that, soy is not a miracle health food that can give us a perfect healthy body.The popularity of soy and its widespread use is amazing, when the less a hundred years ago, the soybean was considered unfit to eat. Everything in this world have their own pros and cons.

"Research that ties soy to positive effects on cholesterol levels is "incredibly immature", said Ronald M. Krauss, MD, head of the Molecular Medical Research Program and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Let me simplify all those research because everyone loves simplicity.

1.The Chinese found that unfermented soybeans contained large quantities of natural toxins, strong inhibitors that block digestive enzymes from doing their job. Just imagine we use a blender to blend fruits without its blade.

2. These toxins cannot be destroyed during conventional cooking and it can depress thyroid function.

3.Arguably,one of the greatest dangers of soy consumption is phytoestrogen soy contains.It is a plant compund that mimic estrogen in the body. Mimic doesnt means it is a same thing. They are different thing with different effects. It's just like a twins but they have their own personality and abilities.

4.Recent studies found that these compound may actually increase the risk of breast cancer and cause thyroid disease.

5.Soy phytoestrogens do have the estrogenic effect of stimulating the growth of breast cancer cells in tissue cultures.

6.It disrupts endocrine function and are potent antithyroid agents are present in vast quantities in soy.

7.Soy is linked to infertility, breast cancer, hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, and many other disorders

8.Soy has also been associated with reduced testosterone levels in men.

9.Some women say soy's high level of phytoestrogen offer hot flash relief. However, some suggest soy could do more harm than good, particularly for menopousal women.

10.Soybeans also contain haemagglutinin, a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together.

While it is true that many claim soy is a health food, there is simply too much emerging evidence to the contrary to be ignored.

Again, soy is not a miracle food that can give us a perfect healthy body.nothing's perfect.

However, I agree that certain soy foods, eaten in moderation, can be a healthy addition to the diet.
