Yes, except perhaps organic lecithin.

From the Health Sciences Institute:

1) " If soy leads to dementia, breast cancer, and other conditions,

why aren't those diseases more prevalent throughout Asia, especially

in Japan? "

According to information we've received from the Weston A. Price

Foundation and Dr. Joseph Mercola, the average soy consumption in

Japan and China is close to 10 milligrams per day, which is about two

teaspoons. (Original source: Fukutake M, Takahashi M, Ishid K,

Kawamura H, Sugimura T, Wakabayashi K; Food Chem Toxicol, 34:457-61.)

This is substantially lower than the amount consumed by those

Americans who use soy as a dairy or protein substitute.

Asians, you see, don't use soy as a protein replacement. They use it

to complement rich protein sources, such as fish. There's some

conjecture -- although we were unable to locate a formal study -- that

this combination with other protein may mitigate some of soy's

potential risks.

Furthermore, while Americans and Europeans eat a great deal of

processed soy (like tofu), Asians eat only carefully fermented soy

(like Miso), using processes to remove the natural toxins and preserve

soy's benefits.

" I take soy lecithin to help lower cholesterol. Are the dangers

associated with soy lecithin the same as the potential dangers of soy

protein? "

I spoke with Sally Fallon of the Weston A. Price Foundation. She

explained that the lecithin is basically the residual product left

over after all the oil is squeezed from the soybean. Therefore, she

explained, the concentration of pesticides in soy lecithin tends to be

very high. I asked if that was the primary concern and if it could be

addressed by using organic soy in lecithin production. She said yes,

but warned that it's difficult to find organic soy lecithin.

So concerns over soy lecithin arise from the possible presence of

pesticides, rather from risks associated with soy protein. And it's

true that many studies have indeed shown that soy lecithin can help

lower cholesterol levels.

We should note one additional concern, however. We found information

on Dr. Mercola's website indicating that soy lecithin supplements

given during perinatal development could alter " synaptic

characteristics in a manner consistent with disturbances in neural

function. " (Original source: Bell JM, Whitmore WL, Cowdery T, Slotkin

TA, " Perinatal dietary supplementation with a soy lecithin

preparation: effects on development of central catecholaminergic

neurotransmitter systems. " Brain Res Bull 1986 Aug; 17(2): 189-95)

Thank you. and I just bought a huge amount if it. Any other uses for it
