Vegetarians have been smug for a number of years to us carnivores as they were getting their protein and not eating any meat products, slaughtering animals etc. Their answer was that they would eat protein substitutes such as spinach(+other grean leafy veges) , nuts, and soy products. With a conbinations of sources they were able to complete the protein picture.
Nuts were not a complete source so other protein sources had to be added to their diet. Spinach was great but the volume was enough to make you sick and you would need to keep eating for hours on end. Along came the Soy products, the asian population were eating soy such as tofu and miso and they were healthier and living longer than their meat eating counter parts.
It was not long before the greedy little capitalist, discovered that you could isolate the soy protein and the jump on the band wagon and promote your product being healthier, not only that; food manufacturers also discovered that normal products could be bulked out and your costs reduced by using Soy Protein Isolate. Consequently Soy isolates were being added to more and more products.
My concern is that; Soy Protein Isolate is a Hormone disruptor and increases the production of estrogen and as it is similar to the chemical BPA (also a hormone disruptor which is put into Baby bottles to make the bottles clear and rigid), this causes the early onset of puberty as well as lowering a mans testosterone level (possibly causing man boobs) but definitely impacting a mans fertility.
come one people lets scream and stop hiding this corporate greed talk to your politicans and demand the removal of TVP(textured vegetable protein) / SPI from all baby products at the very least, then campaign for the removal from other products.
NOTE MOST SOY BEANS are GENETICALLY MODIFIED
