Soy is making kids 'gay'

Soy is making kids 'gay'

There's a slow poison out there that's severely damaging our
children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic
part
is, it's a "health food," one of our most popular.

Now, I'm a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything
into his kitchen unless it's organic. I state my bias here just
so
you'll know I'm not anti-health food.

The dangerous food I'm speaking of is soy. Soybean products are
feminizing, and they're all over the place. You can hardly
escape
them anymore.

I have nothing against an occasional soy snack. Soy is
nutritious
and contains lots of good things. Unfortunately, when you eat or
drink a lot of soy stuff, you're also getting substantial
quantities of estrogens.

Estrogens are female hormones. If you're a woman, you're
flooding
your system with a substance it can't handle in surplus. If
you're
a man, you're suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your
"female side," physically and mentally.

In fetal development, the default is being female. All humans
(even
in old age) tend toward femininity. The main thing that keeps
men
from diverging into the female pattern is testosterone, and
testosterone is suppressed by an excess of estrogen.

If you're a grownup, you're already developed, and you're able
to
fight off some of the damaging effects of soy. Babies aren't so
fortunate. Research is now showing that when you feed your baby
soy
formula, you're giving him or her the equivalent of five birth
control pills a day. A baby's endocrine system just can't cope
with
that kind of massive assault, so some damage is inevitable. At
the
extreme, the damage can be fatal.

Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size
of
the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most
of
the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in
homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other
soy
products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their
infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!)
Homosexuals
often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because "I can't
remember a time when I wasn't homosexual." No, homosexuality is
always deviant. But now many of th! em can truthfully say that
they
can't remember a time when excess estrogen wasn't influencing
them.

Doctors used to hope soy would reduce hot flashes, prevent
cancer
and heart disease, and save millions in the Third World from
starvation. That was before they knew much about long-term soy
use.
Now we know it's a classic example of a cure that's worse than
the
disease. For example, if your baby gets colic from cow's milk,
do
you switch him to soy milk? Don't even think about it. His
phytoestrogen level will jump to 20 times normal. If he is a
she,
brace yourself for watching her reach menarche as young as
seven,
robbing her of years of childhood. If he is a boy, it's far
worse:
He may not reach puberty till much later than normal.

Research in 2000 showed that a soy-based diet at any age can
lead
to a weak thyroid, which commonly produces heart problems and
excess fat. Could this explain the dramatic increase in obesity
today?

Recent research on rats shows testicular atrophy, infertility
and
uterus hypertrophy (enlargement). This helps explain the
infertility epidemic and the sudden growth in fertility clinics.
But alas, by the time a soy-damaged infant has grown to
adulthood
and wants to marry, it's too late to get fixed by a fertility
clinic.

Worse, there's now scientific evidence that estrogen ingredients
in
soy products may be boosting the rapidly rising incidence of
leukemia in children. In the latest year we have numbers for,
new
cases in the U.S. jumped 27 percent. In one year!

There's also a serious connection between soy and cancer in
adults
- especially breast cancer. That's why the governments of
Israel,
the UK, France and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on
soy.

In sad contrast, 60 percent of the refined foods in U.S.
supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the
next
few years because (last I heard) the out-of-touch medicrats in
the
FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal,
energ! y bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, etc., to claim that "soy
prevents
cancer." It doesn't.

P.S.: Soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it's perfectly safe
because it's fermented, which changes its molecular structure.
Miso, natto and tempeh are also OK, but avoid tofu.
