I ran across the article below discussing the top ten reasons of 170 reasons that soy is horribly bad for anyone. Yes.... Soy not a health food miracle but rather toxic substance. But many people today have come to that realization already. The missing piece I wish to point it out is that most, the vast majority, of all farm animals are fed soy daily. Soy is the number one protein source for farm feeds. The end result is that soy compounds are present in all commonly produced eggs and meat. So even if you are avoiding soy directly, consuming any meats or eggs that are not specifically labeled soy free brings all the same health problems.
In fact, we have found that many people who are allergic to eggs are fine consuming or soy free eggs. This is because they are not truly allergic to eggs but to the soy that comes through the eggs from commercial soy based feeds.
This is why little sprouts has been soy free across the board for over 2 years. Yes it makes our products cost more because other protein sources are substantially higher in cost than soy. But we are committed to the health benefits for our animals and our customers.
Here are ten good reasons to avoid soy, both directly and in the meats and eggs we consume :
