With all the loads of scientific data available that soy is not a healthy part of anyone?s diet, it shocks me how many folks are still on the ?soy is good for you? bandwagon ? even folks who should know better like your doctor!
I just got an email from a reader the other day who had been to multiple doctors, both holistic and conventional, and all but one of them were telling her that plenty of soy in her diet would help her menopause symptoms.
Be careful folks. ?It?s dangerous out there! ?You really need to do your research and be on your toes at all times when it comes to nutritional advice even from someone in a white coat!
For those of you who just sat down because you are so taken aback by the notion that soy is not actually the healthfood you thought it was, here are 170 scientific reasons to back up this assertion.
Please note that fermented soy in small, condimental amounts as practiced in traditional Asian cultures is fine for those who have healthy thyroid function. ?Only miso, tempeh, and natto fall under this category. ?In addition, if you want to sprinkle a few edamame on your salad or have a few small cubes of tofu in your miso soup from time to time, that is fine too. ? Just don?t make it a regular part of your diet!
If you have any sort of thyroid issues going on, however, it is really the best policy to avoid all soy all the time as soy is a potent goitrogen (thyroid suppressor) even if fermented.
Soy Wake Up Call #1
A 1991 study found that?eating only 2 TBL/day of roasted and pickled soybeans for 3 months?to healthy adults who were receiving adequate iodine in their diet caused?thyroid suppression?with symptoms of malaise, constipation, sleepiness, and goiters?(Nippon Naibunpi Gakkai Zasshi?1991, 767: 622-629)!
Still think munching on edamame instead of popcorn is a healthy habit?
Soy Wake Up Call #2
Six premenopausal women with normal menstrual cycles were given 45 mg of soy isoflavones per day. ?This is equivalent to only 1-2 cups of soy milk or 1/2 cup of soy flour! ??After only one month, all of the women experienced delayed menstruation with the effects similar to tamoxifen, the anti-estrogen drug given to women with breast cancer (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition?1994?Sep;60(3):333-340).
Soy Wake Up Call #3
Dietary estrogens in the form of?soy foods were found to have the potential to disrupt the endocrine system?with the effects in women similar to taking the breast cancer drug tamoxifen (Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine?1995 Jan;208(1):51-9).
Soy Wake Up Call #4
Estrogens consumed in the diet at low concentrations were found to stimulate breast cells much like DDT to increase enzymatic activity which leads to breast cancer (Environmental Health Perspectives?1997 Apr;105 (Suppl 3):633-636).
Soy Wake Up Call #5
The soy isoflavones genistein and daidzein appear to stimulate existing breast cancer growth indicating risk in consuming soy products if a woman has breast cancer. (Annals of Pharmacotherapy?2001 Sep;35(9):118-21).
Soy Wake Up Call #6
Direct evidence that soy isoflavones genistein and daidzein suppress the pituitary-thyroid axis in middle-aged rats fed 10 mg soy isoflavones per kilo after only 3 weeks as compared with rats eating regular rat chow (Experimental Biology and Medicine?2010 May;235(5):590-8).
Soy Wake Up Call #7
Don?t eat soy when you are pregnant ladies! ?Scientific research has shown that the developing male fetus which is exposed to soy phytoestrogens may suffer from higher susceptibility to prostate cancer later in life (Prostate?1994;24(2):67-78).
Soy Wake Up Call #8
Keep that soy away from your daughters! ? Dietary genistein (soy phytoestrogen) in developing female rats had the effect of?significantly accelerated puberty (Toxicol Sci?1999 Oct;51(2):236-44).
Soy Wake Up Call #9
Hey guys! Soy protein powder strips your masculinity! ?A study of 12 men aged 18 years and older experienced a 19% drop in serum testosterone in only 28 days when supplemented with 56 grams of soy protein powder over that same time period (Prev?2007;16:829?33).
Soy Wake Up Call #10
Do NOT feed soy formula to your babies! ?Female newborns who are orally exposed to genisin, the glycosylated form of genistein (soy phytoestrogen) experienced harm to the reproductive system in the form of??delayed vaginal opening? abnormal estrous cycles, decreased fertility, and delayed parturition.? (Environmental Health Perspective?2009 Dec;117(12):1883-9).
Convinced yet? ? I don?t know about you, but ten reasons is plenty for me! ? Still interested to see the remaining 160 reasons? ?My friend Dr. Kaayla Daniel, author of the must read?The Whole Soy Story, has compiled the rest of the list for you if you click here.

Australia vs South AfricaLive
??
TIME: 17:00 local, 15:00 GMT
VENUE: Pretoria
DATE: Sat 29, September 2012
South Africa host Australia at Loftus Versveld on Saturday with both coaches feeling the pressure of their country?s expectation.
The Boks have won just one match so far in the Rugby Championship ? against tournament new boys Argentina ? and with back-to-back defeats against the All Blacks and Australia, Heyneke Meyer will be hoping his team re-find their best form against the Wallabies on Saturday. In front of their passionate Pretoria crowd and at altitude, the Boks hold all the trump cards.
The talk going into the match was dominated by out of form fly-half Morne Steyn. His heroics back in 2009 against the British & Irish Lions seem an eternity ago and the South African public have been calling for youngster Johan Goosen to be handed the half-back reigns instead of the Bulls man. Meyer has bowed to public pressure and has given the youngster the nod.
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans is also having issues with a fly-half, but an injured one. Quade Cooper has been on the front and back pages of the Australian press this week following his very public criticism of the Australian Rugby Union and the Wallabies set-up. Although he is adamant that he is supportive of Deans, labelling the camp as ?toxic? will do little to alleviate the pressure on the coach. The Australians have two wins in this Rugby Championship under their belt but their record of just two victories in 16 games against the All Blacks is all the ammo the Deans-doubters need.
South Africa ? Player to Watch: All eyes will be on the youngster Johan Goosen. He?s accurate with the boot, dangerous with ball in hand and seems to have a rugby brain far more advanced than his tender years. He will either revel or collapse in the Loftus Versveld cauldron ? fans of the Springboks will hope that he embraces the atmosphere and produces a match-winning performance.
South Africa ? Team News: Goosen?s inclusion at the expense of Morne Steyn is one of three changes from the team that lost to the All Blacks in their last match. Andries Bekker and Eben Etzebeth both start in the second-row while there are four changes to the replacements. Coenie Oosthuizen, Flip van der Merwe, Elton Jantjies and Jaco Taute are all included ? Taute may yet get the nod in the first XV with Frans Steyn an injury doubt.
Australia ? Player to Watch: Kurtley Beale starts his first match in the fly-half berth for the Wallabies. With friend and Wallabies colleague Cooper taking all the headlines, Beale will hope to deflect the attention away from the Reds playmaker and back on to the field for all the right reasons. There is no doubt that Beale is an immensely talented player, but he is out of form and will need to harness all of his ability come Saturday.
Australia ? Team News: Beale has been handed the No.10 shirt with Nick Phipps remaining at scrum-half. Berrick Barnes switches to fullback while the team will be captained by Nathan Sharpe. Kane Douglas retains his place in the second-row in what will be his second Test for the Wallabies with Sitaleki Timani failing to recover from a hamstring strain. Reds second rower Rob Simmons comes in on a bench which features five forwards, while the evergreen Western Force halfback Brett Sheehan is one of two back reserves, alongside Anthony Fainga?a.
Are you considering having your wedding at a particular bed and breakfast inn? Bed and breakfast inns are known not only for having an intimate setting but also for their special services.
Are you considering having your wedding at a particular bed and breakfast inn? Bed and breakfast inns are known not only for having an intimate setting but also for their special services. If you are considering having your wedding at a particular inn, then here are some tips that you should keep in mind.
Choose an Inn Based on Your Personality as a Couple
There are literally hundreds of bed and breakfast inns you can choose from. Some inns are located in the country while some are located near a beach. If you are lucky, you may find a bed and breakfast house near a lake. Alternatively you may want inns located in the mountains which usually provide breathtaking views of nature or historic mansions for couples with unique interests.
Consider Your Guests
If you chose a bed and breakfast inn as the location for an event, then you should also consider the number of guests that are coming with you. You need to do this so that you can book enough rooms for them. While these inns can provide a fabulous setting for an event, they are usually located off of the beaten path. You may need to make some arrangements then so that your guests can stay with you at the inn prior to the event.
Check the Grounds
If you are planning to hold the ceremony and reception in a particular bed and breakfast house, then you should check if the grounds can accommodate your guests. Also, look for particulars such as a gazebo or a place for a stage that can provide a nice touch. These will make sure that the place can accommodate everything before the big day.
Think about your Honeymoon
These inns usually provide a honeymoon suite which you can use before and after the event. While these rooms are useful to accommodate guests, you can also stay there for your honeymoon. With the special treatment that these houses give to couples, you may even get some free treats and flowers in the process.
Ask about Catering
You may save some money and headaches from dealing with outside caterers by having your wedding food created in-house. You may need to talk with the owner of the house to work this out but this is often easier than arranging it separately. Just be sure to taste the food in advance. Ask for samples and if you want them to cook a particular recipe, tell them in advance so they can make some arrangements.
Flowers and Decors
If you are going to hold your event at their location, you can ask them if they can set up the place for you. They may charge an additional fee but try to work out a deal that can work for both of you. Also, be sure to talk to them about your wedding theme if you decide to hire them.
Bed and breakfast houses will always remain an attractive setting for weddings. With their focus on romance and special treatments, they will continue to be home to many happy memories.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) ? An organization suspended from bringing foreign exchange students to the U.S. was hounded in recent years by allegations of mismanagement, with complaints ranging from sexual abuse by host fathers to urging a host family to lie about company mistakes, an Associated Press review shows.
San Diego-based Pacific Intercultural Exchange, or PIE, is appealing this year's suspension from its role as one of the State Department's sponsors for the high school exchange program. The company has said it's being treated unfairly.
The State Department won't say exactly why PIE was suspended, but AP has reviewed emails, court documents and school board records that show the company has been accused of mismanagement involving dozens of teenagers in recent years.
PIE is part of a network of organizations that brings close to 30,000 high school students to the U.S. annually in a program overseen by the State Department. The program has come under increasing scrutiny, with critics saying that sponsors are more concerned about profits than the participants. The State Department says the safety of the students is its main concern and that it's working to make the program better. It wouldn't comment on PIE's appeal.
Yet emails among State Department officials reviewed by the AP, along with court documents, show a pattern of alleged oversights that one of the officials decried as "lax business practices." Two of the most serious cases involve PIE host fathers convicted of sexually abusing exchange students, with one spawning a lawsuit that accused the sponsor organization of failing to do an adequate background check.
"They're getting greedy. They're getting sloppy. And there's no room for greed or sloppiness when you're dealing with children," said Danielle Grijalva, director of the nonprofit Committee for Safety of Foreign Exchange Students.
The State Department has adopted several rules designed to safeguard students over the years, including requiring background checks, but it scrapped plans for a pilot program that would have required more thorough FBI fingerprint checks like those used by the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Critics say the more thorough background checks would help identify potential host families who may abuse the students.
In one of the abuse cases, 30-year-old PIE host father Shernon James was convicted of molesting a 15-year-old Ukrainian student in 2009 at a hotel in Kissimee, Fla. James had previously been charged with, but acquitted of, possessing child pornography.
Another host father for PIE, 52-year-old Craig Steven Ley, of Beaverton, Ore., pleaded guilty in 2010 to sexually abusing a German boy. PIE didn't do an adequate background check to find out that Ley had a felony record for using another exchange student in a bogus insurance claim, according to a lawsuit filed over the case.
Another problem for PIE has been accepting more students into the program than there are host families available at the time, Grijalva said.
PIE's president, John Doty, told his staff in a 2006 email that the company narrowly dodged sanctions for cancelling "a number" of students who signed up to participate in 2005. The email also said Doty went to Washington D.C. in 2006 to meet with State Department officials because he was again faced with canceling participants, this time 113 Korean students.
PIE and other sponsors charge the students' families thousands of dollars to arrange for them to live in American households and go to school high school. The U.S. government also gives grants to students from some countries.
A number of other sponsors have been accused of violations. An agency review last year found that 15 of the 39 largest such organizations were in "regulatory noncompliance," according to State Department documents obtained by AP.
Many violations are handled with a reprimand and corrective plan, but it's unusual for a company as big as PIE to be suspended. The suspension affected a more than 455 students from 18 countries for this school year.
Officials in Louisiana were so alarmed by the living conditions of PIE students that in 2010 the Vermillion Parish School Board banned the company from placing students in the district. A teacher took in one of the students because the teen was being mistreated by the host family, according to Superintendent Randy Schexnayder.
"The whole family was utilizing the student to do their house work," Schexnayder told AP. "I don't think they properly screened the host families."
The company has declined to discuss these and other allegations, some of which are contained in emails among high-ranking State Department officials and court documents reviewed by AP.
Among the allegations investigated by State Department officials, according to the emails, were accusations that PIE tried to falsify records in 2010 to conceal the fact that the company brought a 17-year-old girl from Kazakhstan to Maryland without having her registered for school. The students are supposed to be registered for school before coming to the U.S. The girl ended up going home disappointed and distraught.
Doty, PIE's president, and a regional manager, Patricia Littrell, asked the host family to lie about the school arrangements in order to cover up their mistake, according to the host mother, Peg Marose. The girl was not allowed into the public school because she missed the registration deadline. Marose said Littrell wanted her to "back date" documents.
Littrell and Doty didn't respond to messages, and PIE's attorney said company officials could not comment at this time.
Stanley Colvin, a deputy assistant secretary for the State Department involved in exchange programs, wrote a highly critical email on Sept. 1, 2010, that referenced the Maryland case.
"Given the attempt to fabricate documents and its failure to secure a school placement, and other regulatory violations and lax business practices, my staff no longer considers PIE to be a reputable organization with whom the department should be doing business," Colvin told other State Department officials in the email.
The State Department considered revoking PIE's sponsor designation effective May 2011, but ended up putting the company on probation and reducing the number of students it could sponsor. The company was told in June of this year that the State Department was taking immediate action and was suspended, the agency has said. The State Department won't elaborate on the reasons for the suspension other than to say PIE violated program rules.
The company has complained that the State Department is treating it unfairly.
"We stand behind the quality of the program that we have provided for nearly four decades and do not believe that this action by the Department of State is warranted," PIE said in July in a letter to staff members and host families.
PIE generated nearly $3.5 million from October 2009 to September 2010, according to a 2011 IRS filing required of nonprofit organizations. About $1.26 million was from government contributions or grants, but the majority of the company's money, about $2.26 million, came from its foreign program fees, according to the document. The company's website says it has facilitated exchanges for more than 25,000 high school students since the 1970s.
Asserting in a dramatic speech to the United Nations that Iran will be ready to build a nuclear weapon by next summer, the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, told leaders they must draw a clear red line to force the regime in Tehran to back down and end its uranium enrichment programme.
Mr Netanyahu, who brandished a chart drawn in the shape of a bomb with a dangling fuse, insisted that his purpose was to prevent a war, not start one. He added that not delivering the ultimatum he proposes would be akin to what happened when the world waited "too long" to deal with Hitler. "We can't let that happen," he said, insisting the stratagem would work. "I believe that, faced with a clear red line, Iran will back down. At this late hour, there is only one way to peacefully prevent Iran from getting atomic bombs and that is the placing of a clear red line on Iran's nuclear weapons programme. Red lines don't lead to war; red lines prevent war."
However, his speech threatened to widen a rift between himself and President Barack Obama, who has resisted the drawing of any line that might trigger military action were Iran to ignore it. A nuclear Iran, Mr Netanyahu argued, "would be as bad as a nuclear al-Qa'ida. Just imagine Iranian aggression with nuclear weapons??? Who among you would feel safe in the Middle East? Who'd be safe in Europe? Who'd be safe in America? Who'd be safe anywhere?" And he denied Israel and the US were at odds. "Israel is in discussions with the United States over this issue and I am confident that we can chart a path forward together."
With his bomb sketch, Mr Netanyahu said Iran was in stage two of its enrichment programme. He drew an actual red line with a pen below the final stage. "Iran is 70 per cent of the way there and... by next summer, at current enrichment rates, they will have finished the medium enrichment and move on to the final stage. From there it is only a few more weeks before they have enriched enough for a bomb."
Mr Obama has consistently said that all options remain on the table. In his address to the UN on Tuesday, he said he continued to look for a diplomatic solution but added that the time for that was not unlimited.
Speaking minutes before the Israeli leader, the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, pressed for "non-member observer status" at the UN, to allow his body to participate in future General Assembly debates and seek membership in UN agencies and the International Criminal Court. It is a step down from the more ambitious bid by Mr Abbas at the UN last year to gain full statehood that was frustrated by US opposition. He said that "intensive consultations with the various regional organisations and the state members" were under way, while adding that the achievement of full statehood at the UN remained his final goal. He accused Israel of waging a "campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people via the demolition of their homes".
