The pros and cons of Soy Milk...

Assalamualaikum...Hi again.. Em, today I want to share some information regarding the pros and cons of Soy Milk. Actually, I don't do all the searches, I just copy it from sites I've visited. It turned out that it has some goodness but the consequences is too much. I guess it is best if we just stop drink it ??? Sorry, I'm not sure myself. It's up to you to decide what's best for yourself. So, here's the facts:

1) Soya bean drinks are best consumed on hot sunny days when the sun is strong. The soya milk will give lots of nutrients to the body as the body is able to absorb the protein well.However, avoid the drink when the weather is cloudy or raining.. Taking the drink in those weather, the body will not be able to take in the protein and will result in a disease called 'GOUT' or 'high acidic urine' due to the high protein residue in the body, after a long run.This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and it will only be in control when you control your food intake of proteins and medication. The pain is unbearable and usually you will have no idea what you have taken to cause the pain. Food like soya beans, anchovies, broccoli, spinach, peanuts, & n esp animal organs ( i.e. pork liver) etc will have to be avoided to prevent the pain from attacking.


2) Benefits:
Soy has become popular because of the many benefits it has in reducing chronic illness. Soy can help reduce the effects of heart disease, and lower bad cholesterol and triglycerides. These are important items in controlling heart disease and preventing heart attack and stroke. In addition to its benefits to your heart, many soy products are a rich calcium source. It is also used in treating menopause symptoms. Soy has also been shown to assist in the prevention of prostate cancer.

3) Disadvantages
Many of the benefits of soy have come under scrutiny. The American Heart Association is waiting for more research to be done to verify the benefits of soy in heart health. In addition, there are reproductive issues in children who are raised on soy formula and use many soy products early in life. This includes lower testosterone, lower sperm counts and infertility in girls. Additionally, soy may increase the risk of breast cancer in women by adding high levels of estrogen. There are suggestions that several learning disabilities are the result of high manganese levels in soy products during child brain development.

So my friend, pass this to your family, relatives and friends to keep an alert on the pros and cons of soya bean milk and when it is to be taken and to be avoided....
