Soy allergies affect around 0.4% of children and are most commonly seen in infants and children under three. They are triggered by a protein in soybeans or soybean-containing products. However, around 70% of children who are allergic to soy outgrow the allergy. The symptoms can range from an itchy, tingly mouth and runny nose to a rash and asthma or breathing difficulties. In rare cases, a soy allergy can also cause anaphylaxis. Interestingly, a small number of babies who are allergic to cow's milk are also allergic to soy. Common food triggers of soy allergy include soybeans and soy products like soy milk or soy sauce. Since soy is found in many foods, it's important to read food labels. Like other allergies, the only treatment for soy allergy is the avoidance of soy. Source www.healthline.com/ |

Most people with soy allergy may safely eat products that contain soy lecithin or highly refined soy oils. But avoid cold pressed, expelled or extruded soy oil – sometimes called gourmet oils! These ingredients are different and not safe to eat if you have a soy allergy. try slowly with small amounts and find out what doesn't trigger a reaction, so you don't necessarily have to avoid all soy products!

Maybe it's a good idea to avoid soy products altogether, whether you have an allergy or not, since soy and tofu contain high levels of goitrogens. Goitrogens are compounds that inhibit the thyroid's ability to utilize iodine correctly which could lead to hypothyroid problems. Soy also has protease inhibitors aka trypsin inhibitors. These toxins block the action of enzymes that have the responsibility of digesting certain proteins, but it can also lead to a host of other problems. Soy contains plant estrogens in the form of isoflavones, which effectively raise your estrogen levels and therefore lowers your testosterone levels. Those hormones are in competition so more of one means less of the other. Messing up your estrogen levels has devastating effects for men and women, as well as children and newborns. Improper balance of testosterone to estrogen in men can lead to a lower libido, fat accumulation around the waist and loss of energy, stamina and virility and even man boobs (gynecomastia). Having abnormally high levels of estrogen doesn’t mean you’ll be more of a woman. It could disrupt your periods, fertility and put you at risk for breast cancer. A baby needs to have his hormones in the proper ratio to develop normally and a baby boy needs a lot of testosterone to form is sexual traits. Too much estrogen at this stage can cause failure to thrive, underdeveloped testicles and problems when puberty comes, like gynecomastia, lack of facial hair and emasculation. And finally: Soy crops are probably the most destructive of all the monocrops. They rob the soil of nutrients without giving back, they're one of the pesticide laden crops and they are now almost all genetically modified. The major part of it goes to feed livestock, who get sick eating it. Some factory produced cuts of meat are now injected with extra soy. This is yet another reason to stay clear of factory-farmed animals - save yourself and the environment from soy.  |
