THE DANGERS OF SOYA FOR LADIES

RAMCHANDANI ONE WOMAN'S STORY ON SOYA...
All Males - PLEASE pass this info to all your female friends... It
may save their lives!
Something to take note of. This is my true story, nothing altered.
These are facts, as they relate to my experience, my opinions
based on what I have read and felt. I am relating them to warn other
young health-conscious women who are unwittingly harming themselves.
In 1989, I graduated from high school in
to hit the big college city. One of the changes I wanted to make was
to eat healthier.
Once I moved to health-conscious
my body with the best and healthiest foods I could find.
Tofu was the main ingredient in every healthy dish and I bought soya
milk almost every day and used it for everything from cereal to
smoothies or just to drink for a quick snack. I bought soya muffins,
miso soup with tofu, soybeans, soybean sprouts, etc.
All the literature in all the health and fitness magazines said that
soya protected you against everything from heart disease to breast
cancer. It was the magical isoflavones, the estrogen-like hormones
that all worked to help you stay young and healthy. I looked great,
I was working out all the time, but my menstrual cycle was off. At
20, I started taking birth control pills to regulate my menstrual
cycle.
In addition to this I began to suffer from painful periods. I began
to get puffy, it was as though I was losing my muscle tone. I began
to suffer from depression and getting hot flushes. I mistook all
this for PMS since my periods were irregular. By the time I was 25,
my periods were so bad, I couldn't walk.
The birth control pills never made them regular or less painful so I
decided to stop taking them. I went on like this for another two
years
until I realized my pain wasn't normal. At 27, my gynecologist found
two cysts in my uterus. Both were the size of tennis balls. I went
through surgery to have them removed and thank God they were benign.
The gynecologist told me to go back on birth control pills.
I didn't. In 1998, he discovered a lump in my breast. Again, I went
through surgery and again it was benign.
In November 2000 my glands swelled up and my gums became inflamed.
Thinking I had a tooth infection I went to the dentist who told me
that teeth were not the problem. After a dose of antibiotics the
swelling still did not go down. At this point I could feel a tiny
nodule on the right side of my neck. I told my mother I had t hyroid
trouble.. She thought I was being silly. No one in the family
suffered from thyroid trouble. Going on a hunch I saw a specialist
who diagnosed me with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
After a series of tests he told me it was cancer. My fiance and I
sat
stunned.. We were not prepared and I was so scared. We scheduled
surgery right away. The specialist told us that it would only be
after the operation that a pathologist would be able to tell us for
sure if
it was cancer. They found a tumor in my right lobe composed of
irregular cells and another smaller tumor growing on the left, so
the entire thyroid was removed.
They told me that after undergoing radioactive iodine I would be
safe and assured me that I could live a long life. After treatment I
began to search for the cause of all these problems. I never once
thought it could be all the soya I had consumed for nearly ten
years.
After all, soya is healthy. I came upon a web page that linked
thyroid problems to soya intake and the conspiracy of soya marketed
as a health food when in fact it is only a toxic by-product of the
vegetable oil industry. This was insane, after all, the health and
fitness magazines had said nothing about soya being harmful.
I visited a herbalist who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 1985.
She informed me that soya was the culprit. She had a hysterectomy
due to cysts and other uterine problems. A few months later another
acquaintance who had consumed soya came down with thyroid
cancer. A girl in EnglandI met through the Internet in a thyroid
cancer
forum had just undergone surgery and she was only 19.
What was going on???? Breast cancer is linked to estrogen. What
mimics estrogen in the female body, SOYA!
But I never suspected soya because until now I never once found a
single article that sta ted soya could be dangerous. Women who took
soya prior to thyroid problems will continue to take it after if
they are not aware of what soya actually does, what it contains and
how it
reacts in the female body. I think this is the reason that women
with
thyroid cancer often develop breast cancer later.
My co-worker is big into soya and I see her losing hair and gaining
weight despite a walking workout during her break and after work,
and apples and oranges for lunch. She just had cysts removed from
her uterus too.
I warned her to stay off soya. I referred her to websites but until
it
is on the evening news on all four networks, women will suffer.
Since the thyroidectomy, I do not touch soya, haven't for two years.
Dear readers, please use my story in any way you can. There are so
many young girls who are consuming soya because they think they are
taking care of themselves, and women taking soya because they want
to be healthy.
It is so unfair that the information about the dangers of soya isn't
more widely circulated. It is sad. There are many out there who feel
this way and it is a terrible blow when you realize you are not as
healthy as you thought and that the information that you depended on
was wrong.
You can find lot of information, tips, tricks, tech news, web updates, fun, jokes etc..
