Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I am wondering with the post below this one if it's the soy or the cattle fattening hormones in the dairy. OR if it's the hormones they give the cows to prodice the 130 litres of milk a day, when they used to only make 2 litres a day, or some similar extreme numbers. It just seems a bit strange how in the last 10 years people are ballooning up all over the globe. Plus all the cancer in which dairy has been a cause according to one scientist. Or is it elf waves from all the power lines or microwaves from all those towers slowing people's metabolisms?

Boys seem to be feminized, while girls are being super sexed. why is it that the governments and their agencies, corporate food producers, and pharmaceutical companies ignoring the data? Is there an agenda? What agenda would that be? Is it all about money? Control? Or population control? Soy: The Poison Seed By: William Wong N.D., Ph.D., and Member World Sports Medicine Hall of Fame This piece will be short and very much to the point. As Americas largest cash crop soy is being touted as having a myriad of health benefits. Far from! Soy is poison, period! All paid for opinion to the contrary. What's bad about soy? Contains Isoflavones (Genistein and Daidzein). In soy the isoflavones are built in insecticides. If they kill bugs are they good for humans? Isoflavones are estrogen like substances which have the same effect as the bodies estrogen. Cancer comes from having too much estrogen. Irritability and mood swings, fat gain from the waist down, fibrocystic breast disease uterine fibromas are all associated with estrogen dominance. Instead of helping prevent the bad effects of environmental or natural estrogen dominance soy isoflavones are now known to increase the bad effect of estradiol and estrone the two major bad guys of the estrogen family. (1,2,3). Kills testicular tissue. In men it permanently reduces testicular function and lowers Lutinizing Hormone production. LH is what signals your testicles to work. This increases the probability of estrogen dominance in men with its hair loss, swollen and cancerous prostates. (4,5). Male children fed soy formulas and soy products may not ever get to like girls. Dorris Rapp MD, the worlds leading pediatric allergist, asserts that environmental and food estrogens are responsible for the increase in male homosexuality and the worldwide reduction in male fertility. (6). Isoflavones decrease thyroid hormone production. This can stunt children's growth and make the rest of us tired and fat. (7,8,9). Female children fed the estrogens in soy formula and products hit puberty very very early sometimes as young as age 6 to 8! (10). Pregnant women eating soy products may effect the sexual differentiation of their children. Studies show malformations of the reproductive tract or offspring born with both male and female sexual organs. (11). Isoflavones decrease GOOD cholesterol (HDL). (12,13). Soy contains Phytin, which takes essential minerals such as iron, zinc, magnesium etc. out of the body before they can be absorbed. Also soy contains Trypsin inhibitors block this vital anti cancer enzyme, anti fibrosis enzyme. (14). A 7000 man 30 year epidemiological study done in Hawaii shows soy is connected with a higher rate of Vascular Dementia (Alzheimer's disease). (15,16). Any opinions to contradict the facts noted above have been paid for by the Agribusiness giants Monsanto and Archer Daniels Midland. Once public knowledge of their manipulation of public opinion and of the FDA becomes widely known, expect monster class action lawsuits against these folks. They'll deserve it in spades!

Survey: Most Adults in Idaho Overweight http://news./s/ap/20050629/ap_on_he_me/fat_idaho Tue Jun 28, 8:01 PM ET COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - Most of the adults in Idaho are overweight or obese, according to an annual survey by the Centers for Disease Control, and lawmakers are looking for ways to help the state trim its excess fat. In 2003, nearly 60 percent of adults were considered overweight by CDC standards, and 22 percent of that group was obese. That's dramatically higher rate than in 1990, when 29.5 percent of Idaho residents were overweight and less than 12 percent were obese. " You see a lot of different scenery now, more big people, " said Tom Tracy, the director of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare's Physical Activity and Nutrition program. At the Governor's Physical Activity and Nutrition Summit last week in Boise, Tracy sketched out a plan to shape up the state. His strategy includes building awareness with education, then changing policies to create environments friendlier to physical activities. Schools should stock vending machines with fruit and other healthy snacks, he says, and employers should change work hours to give employees time to work out at lunch. A complete plan will be released later this year, he said. " We have a huge bubble of baby boomers aging, " Tracy said. " If that group doesn't get more active and make better food choices, health costs will be unbelievable. " The problem is nationwide, with the CDC estimating that 30 percent of the nation's population is obese. Nearby states aren't far behind Idaho's rates_ in 2003 about 59 percent of Washington residents were too heavy, as well as 57 percent of Oregon and Montana residents. This year the CDC gave between $300,000 and $450,000 each to 23 states to create strategic plans, and five states received $800,000 to $1.5 million each to continue plans already in action. Washington is building sidewalks and trails in senior communities to promote walking and biking. It also began training child-care providers to teach children the value of physical activities and offered an educational program about the inactivity inspired by television. " Idaho is not different from other states on this issue, " Tracy said. " The plan that develops won't look much different from Washington's or Oregon's or Connecticut's. " Idaho hopes to lower the roughly $852 million in medical costs that the state incurs each year as a direct result of poor eating habits and physical inactivity. Much of the tab is picked up by Medicaid and Medicare. Last spring, Tracy held regional forums in each district, encouraging health-care providers, educators, businesses and others to come up with ideas to help Idaho lose weight. Though the problem is simple - residents eat too much and exercise too little - solutions are more difficult. Participants said families were too busy to exercise, few children are taught about fitness and low-income families believe it costs too much to be physically active. Idaho's long winters limit outdoor activities for much of the year. Eating poorly is cheaper than a healthy diet, participants said, and people look for quick fixes to weight problems. Bonnie Held with the Panhandle Health District in Coeur d'Alene carries a tote bag filled with fake servings of applesauce, spaghetti and even cereal. " They're reasonable portions, " Held said. " I use these particularly to teach my teen classes how much they really need. " Though changing Idaho's waistlines may take time, Tracy is optimistic. " When I get negative, I think about smoking, " he said. " Frankly, 20 years ago if you'd told me the status quo around tobacco use is what it is today, I would have said you're nuts. " a..
