The Truth About Soy! Part 2Dear Friend,Ok, in order to continue this discussion, let's remind ourselves of a few things. While soy has estrogen like properties and his distantly related to the estrogens found in humans, it does not behave just like human estrogen. Hormones are very complicated things, a fact that some of the Alternative health gurus seem to have forgotten or never learned in the first place. The Phytoestrogens in soy (plant estrogens like Genistein and Daidzein) can weakly bind to human estrogen receptors. Once they or any hormone is bound, it causes a series of events called "post receptor, or second messenger actions". In English this means that something happens INSIDE the cell as a result of this binding. If our friends that are pointing to soy as a bad thing would remember this fact, they would also remember that without this action, nothing much would happen. This is exactly what happens with soy isoflavones. They bind to estrogen receptors because they have some similarities to human estrogens, but nothing much happens inside the cell. They kinda just sit there. They do not disrupt the hormonal axis of the body greatly, they do not cause the same post receptor actions that real human estrogens do, and they don't seem to contribute to breast cancer or other cancers. Dr Dave's Best Fish Oil contains no detectable amounts of heart harming mercury, lead, PVC's or PBC's. It is tested for radiation, purified and concentrated and remains the industry benchmark. No other Fish Oil can come close. See the numerous testimonials on the site. To experience the amazing and multiple benefits of Dr Dave's Best Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil go and order NOW! Not too long ago a lady in my practice went to the surgeon who had done her breast cancer surgery. I did not know she was taking soy and neither did the surgeon. When she told the surgeon, she (the surgeon was a she) went ballistic and screamed at her that this would bring her breast cancer back. The truth is this makes absolutely no sense. By blocking the estrogen receptors and preventing human estrogens, which could actually do something in the cell from binding, the soy proteins probably confer at least a little protection. Again we are really not sure because soy vitamins are not soy foods, but still it makes plenty of sense biochemically. Now a few more good things about soy. Since estrogens have been implicated in prostate cancer too, it appears that soy may reduce the incidence of that also, again by a blocking action at the site of the receptor.
By the way receptor blockade is nothing new in medicine. It is used for all kinds of drugs from high blood pressure to lowering cholesterol. Again I am surprised that some of our guru friends out there who claim to be real doctors don't remember this. By similar mechanisms soy has been shown to reduce post menopausal bone loss in women (osteoporosis), heat flashes, and lower bad cholesterol when accompanied by a totally vegan diet. Now lest you think I am pro soy here are some Bad things about soy. It doesn't seem to work for everyone, especially with regards to menopausal symptoms. It is loaded with fat, and a lot of it is Omega 6 fat. 51% to be exact with only 7% Omega 3's. So if you take a lot of say products, balance them out with Fish Oil to keep your Omega 3 to 6 ratios favorable. As far as a protein source, I do occasionally use soy. But I use it in its food form (miso, tofu, tempeh), not in pill form. Frankly there are far better protein sources unless you are a Vegan. So in summary here is the TRUTH. 1) We don't know if soy is the reason that Oriental women have longer lives, or lower risks of breast cancer, but if it is , it should probably consumed from birth and in Food form, not pill form. This is in direct contrast to Fish Oil. We know from studies that the active ingredients in fish are the Omega 3 fatty acids, because they are the only elements of fish that are essential to our diet. Everything else can be gotten from other food stuffs. Soy proteins which wind up in vitamin capsules have not been shown to be the only active ingredient. As with most plants there are many things in soy that could be contributing to health benefits. We have not studies MOST plants well enough to know what is actually in them, nor have all of these chemicals been synthesized in a lab yet and studied separately. When this happens we can look at which ingredients are most important. Don't be too surprised if this turns out to be all or most of them! As a fan of Mother Nature I hate the way Western Science always has to try to "Dis Integrate" a compound to find out what makes it tick. Sometimes it's the whole ball of wax that is needed. 2) Soy estrogens are not human estrogens, and they do not behave just like human estrogens. As women age the dominant estrogen becomes one called estrone. High levels of estrone have been implicated in causing Breast cancer, Uterine Cancer, heart attacks, stroke, and blood clots, all the same things that oral PREMARIN seems to cause. Soy estrogens are estrogen receptor blockers much like breast cancer medicines and medicines that fight osteoporosis. It is highly unlikely (but not yet truly known) whether they can promote cancer. If you consume soy for health benefits, start it early in your life and take it as food. Again this is based on scientific studies. No one knows for sure what it does for first time users who are post menopausal. My guess is it probably does help. Fish Oil does everything health wise that soy claims to do and there is definitive proof. And you can start it anytime in your life and still see the benefits! You decide!!!
