Definitelyl food for thought; I changed my eating habits. - Deep dive into the information. I personally liked having all the information. I saw quite a few people I know (via their eating habits), I marked pages left and right, then stopped, screeching-halt out of concern. I had purchased this book long ago. I decided about half-way through to change my eating to see what happened. YES,there was an effect. To this day, I try to choose organic when possible. For me, I count the # of soy containing ingredients on a label, if it gets over 4 (a LOT more often then one would think!), I don't buy. Digressing Challenge Question: how many chicken feeds, organic even, don't contain soy in the feed? Of the 'Pastured' chickens, what are they fed come winter, if the eggs, or chickens are continused to be sold? Yes, I did contain various places and know the answer (year 2024). If I knew there was a follow-up book, I would purchase That. Review: Soy: America's Most Overhyped "Health" Food - Kaayla Daniel has done a wonderful service for those looking for insight into yet another powerful player in the processed food industry, specifically that of soy. Tracing the origins of this bean back to its earliest forms to its present-day ubiquitousness, Daniel proves through careful, documented research just how far off track the soy industry has taken consumers. She's quick to point out how early forms of soy like miso and tempeh had to be carefully prepared through the fermentation process, and that these forms are healthy and without many of the side effects mentioned in later chapters. Nobody seems to understand this today, as "betwen 77 and 79 perecent of vegetable oils comsumed in America come from the soy bean" (yes, this still means it's a trans fat!) and the chemical methods used to prepare non-traditional soy foods--everything from lechithin to fake hot dogs to soy milk-- have made this food a dangerous allergen, stomach irritant, gas producer and, worst of all, an absolute danger to infants. So while the soy industry and those who advocate a plant-based diet continue to stand by soy as a healthy alternative to meat, "The Whole Soy Story" effectively demonstrates there's still quite a bit of light to shed on the subject. It seems other governments around the world, including Israel and France, are now putting warning labels on soy products, so it's time for Americans to wake up to the evidence that's out there. If you're going to eat soy, stick to the traditional kinds. Otherwise, it's nothing more than processed junk, even if it's sold in health food stores. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0967089751 | | Best Sellers Rank | #897,976 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #412 in Whole Foods Diets #813 in Health, Mind & Body Reference #3,332 in Nutrition (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (186) | | Dimensions | 6.44 x 1.47 x 9.2 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 9780967089751 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0967089751 | | Item Weight | 1.45 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 457 pages | | Publication date | March 10, 2005 | | Publisher | Nourishing Traditions | ## Images ![The Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of America's Favorite Health Food - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rKNffq0TL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of information.

If you are wondering the same thing, this is a must read - especially if you care anything about yourself and your family! The research is very informative and in depth. America needs to revert back to animal fats and proteins, and coconut or palm oil. Soy was never, ever to be used as a whole food. If anything, it's a malnutrient! We look for answers about why cancer is more common, and why couples have trouble conceiving! Look no further than the information in this book! You will read your food labels when you have finished it. I do, and can't look at words such as soybean oil, soy flour, soy milk, etc. without becoming nauseous! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5572560-the-whole-soy-story-the-dark-side-of-americas-favorite](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5572560-the-whole-soy-story-the-dark-side-of-americas-favorite) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
