RE: [SouthBayVeggies] Food Assessment: Soy Not Food For Humans (WAS: Tofu may raise risk of memory loss)

[Guest guest]

Hello, I did visit that site, and I do not believe Kaayla Daniels is a

legitimate scientist who works with and understands how the rational

scientific method works.

 

Her PhD is from an institution with roots as " alternative " education, not a

mainstream respected university. There is a lot of promotion of

" alternative " science recently - under the premise that a scientist should

be " open and inquiring " . Yes being inquiring is a good thing, but, one

should always stay within the rational method, because that is the only one

that has been shown to work. One does not say " I want to be open and

inquiring and I am free to inquire that perhaps earth is flat, let's be open

to it " - such a person would be not a scientist, but a crackpot. In her own

description she wants to " to unleash your health and energy potential " ,

" leading edge books that will (.) save your life " - these statements are

obviously not scientific but quacky. Her reference links are not to

scientific articles, but to more like-minded, rather quaky websites.

 

If you don't trust me, here is a critique

Now John Robbins, is a real expert. I don't want to start a flame war

here, so if you don't see a difference between John Robbins and Kaayla

Daniels, then I will not try to convince you. I am educated as a scientist

myself, have a PhD in theoretical math, and I can spot the difference " from

a mile away " . If you disagree, let's each have their own opinion, that is

fine with me.

 

 

In short, soy may be bad, who knows, but not because " dr " Kaayla Daniels

says so.

[southBayVeggies] Food Assessment: Soy Not Food For Humans (WAS:

Tofu may raise risk of memory loss)

 

If you're interested in health and would like to learn, in great detail, why

soy is not food for humans, visit <http://www.wholesoystory.com/>

http://www.wholesoystory.com/. This is Kaayla Daniels' web site. She wrote

her doctoral dissertation on this topic and has since published her work in

an excellent book bearing the same name as her Web site. Much free info on

the site, if you don't wish to read the whole book.

 

The estrogen warning is serious, but just the tiny tip of a very large

iceberg.

 

Best regards,
