Food...: Fruits and shoots ADDENDUM ON SOY [s]

[Guest guest]

Yesterday, I wrote: " I have never seen any claim suggesting that legumes, in

and of themselves, cause any disease. " My friend, Laurie Masters, suggests

to me that I modify and elaborate upon this statement.

 

First, in the mainstream, soy is the most commonly eaten of all legumes. And

soy, particularly the way it is currently processed, does appear to be VERY

harmful to human health, this is now well and widely documented. I no longer

even perceive soy as a food, but rather as a poison, so I simply omitted it

from my thinking when I wrote the comment above.

 

In addition, there is a body of evidence indicating that other legumes

adversely effect human health in a variety of ways. At the same time, it is

unclear to what degree they contribute, in and of themselves, to any

particular disease. We must alway remember that we are receiving largely

commercially motivated science, studying very narrow, commercially motivated

questions, making many assumptions, and studying an already sick population

that knows nothing about health in general or about specific topics such as

body composition, body hydration, food combining, etc. So I am slow to draw

strong conclusions from these studies, even though they are numerous.

 

My general sense is that once any of us really embraces a healthy RF diet,

any residuals such as legumes will disappear fairly naturally after awhile.

Therefore, I tend not to focus my attention on eliminating such items, this

just happens when the time seems " right. "

 

Hope this clarifies for those interested in such matters.
