Oh Dear it is Soy!!!!


It seems that in the past five years soy has come into the spot light and is almost considered the food of the gods, but is soy realy as good as we are told. One positive thing about soy that it contains many enzymes and can reduce the risk of heart disease. althougth there are many positives with soya big negative is that it contains a potent enzyme blocker that inhibits the body's process of breaking down protien. Soy also contains hemagglutinin which is a clot promoting substance and a groth depresent. Hemagglutinin can be deactivated if the soy beans are fermented, but in common soy products like tofu, hemagglutinin is still active.

Industrialized Farming?


The farming industry has revolutionized over the years this has benefits and negative results. One of the effects is the use of hormones in livestock this may cause rapid growth and development. but it also cause a drop in quality in all of these products. In crops new fertilizer was developed that causes rapid production and increase in size but this fertilizer can also runoff and cause pollution to water sources. The farm industry has changed over the years is it positive or negative or make the choice.
