It’s #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth and all October $It’s #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth and all October, our “Soya The Cancer Destroya” campaign will be bringing you research about the benefits of soy and soy’s ability to protect our bodies against cancer 💪🌱 Western interest in #soy originated when researchers found that certain populations, including many in east Asia, that ate or drank more soy, experienced less chronic disease such as CVD, breast and prostate cancers, age-related brain diseases, fewer bone fractures, and fewer hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms in women, as well. To find out if these populations simply had better #genes, they studied Asians who emigrated to the USA and other developed nations and calculated their disease rates in these new countries and compared them to those in their places of origin. If genes were solely responsible for their protection, their disease rates should remain unchanged despite their change in location. Upon moving and adopting the prevailing eating pattern and lifestyle, these previously healthy individuals became afflicted with chronic diseases, meaning that diet played a meaningful role in health and disease. Soy seemed to be an important piece of the puzzle 🧩 Researchers recognized that people who consumed more soy had higher levels of “estrogen-like” compounds, or phytoestrogens, in their blood and urine, known as #isoflavones and that regularly consuming soy isoflavones might do more than just correlate with protection; They might actually help prevent and even treat hormone-related diseases. The research is fascinating and irrefutable! More where that came from all month long! References: •Barrett JR. The science of soy: What do we really know?

$We’ve heard these before haven’t we? So, let’s break them down ⬇️ Lie #1: Humane slaughter 👉 There is no way to kill someone who doesn’t want to die. The fact that we attempt to put the word “humane” in front of the word “slaughter” is acknowledgment alone that animals DO have the capacity to suffer. Lie #2: Milk builds strong bones 👉 CALCIUM builds strong bones, not milk. In fact, research shows that populations who consume the most dairy have higher rates of osteoporosis and fractures. Check out our “Get Your Calcium” series for calcium-rich meals and ditch dairy! Lie #3: Protein deficiency 👉 Plants have protein and research shows that consuming plant-based protein in place of animal-based lowers our risk of chronic illness. Lie #4: Cows used in dairy are bad mothers 👉 Motherhood transcends species. Love is felt, and we know that non-human animals feel and are emotional beings just like we are. Cows are separated from their children at birth, and if that wasn’t the case, perhaps they might have the opportunity to prove this lie wrong themselves, on a massive scale. Lie #5: I love animals and eat them, too 👉 The last time we checked, you don’t inflict extreme suffering and violence on those you love.
