Soy Is Only Evil in the Hands of Man

Soy beans/products are a staple in societies much older and healthier than Western nations. Westerners have recently heralded soy as a superfood because of its health benefits, but we've known about it for many years. (Soy is even mentioned in the 1929 edition of the book Back To Eden.)

Soybeans are a healthy addition to any diet, just like many other beans that we are already familiar with. They are protein and isoflavonoid packed and are easily assimilated by vegetarian animals like humans. Because they are part of the plant kingdom, it's easy for companies (like Monsanto) to manipulate them.

It seems logical to think that if you eat soy the way God made it you will reap all the health benefits that so many societies have for thousands of years; but, if you eat it the way big industry has made it you may reap all the consequences associated with doing such.

For these reasons, I am not afraid of edamame, miso, soy sauce, tofu or any of the like. I eat them as I would anything else with a healthy balance in mind.
