soymilk (was Stevia)

[Guest guest]

Not so fast! If one does not have an allergy to soy,

which is what your link was discussing, this additive

has the possibility of being the source of an apparent

one. Many people find it is actually this ingredient

not the soy itself.

only one article related specifically to soy allergens, the

other article is about soy dangers, to quote;

 

" ...the soybean contains large quantities of natural toxins

or " antinutrients " . First among them are potent enzyme

inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other

enzymes needed for protein digestion. These inhibitors are

large, tightly folded proteins that are not completely

deactivated during ordinary cooking. They can produce

serious gastric distress, reduced protein digestion and

chronic deficiencies in amino acid uptake. In test animals,

diets high in trypsin inhibitors cause enlargement and

pathological conditions of the pancreas, including cancer. "
