A groundbreaking expose that tells the truth about soy that scientists know but that the soy industry has tried to suppress. Soy is not a health food, does not prevent disease and has not even been proven safe. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive problems, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders, even heart disease and cancer.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Anyone in America who is interested in safe, healthy nutrition must come to terms with Dr. Kaayla T. Daniel's The Whole Soy Story. This book is a gauntlet thrown at the feet of the soy industry, whose reputation often seems based as much on self-promotion as science. Well-written, authoritative and accessible to the layperson, this is science writing at its best. -- Larry Dossey, MD, Author of Healing Beyond the Body, Reinventing Medicine and Healing Words

Dr. Daniel's book contains everything you ever wanted to know about soy and much, much more and will make you wonder just why our nation, our bodies and our children are not being properly protected. Soy is just one more example of risks to the public that far outweigh the greedy benefits derived by big business and politicians. It is another serious wake-up call. -- Doris J. Rapp, MD www.drrapp.com, Author of Our Toxic World, A Wake Up Call:How Chemicals Damage Our Bodies, Brains, Behavior and Sex.

The Whole Soy Story is a devastating and authoritative indictment of the safety of soy foods and a "must read" for consumers who are under the misconception that soy foods promote health. Convincingly argued and extensively supported by the medical and scientific literature, it exposes the misleading propaganda of the soy industry in promoting the supposed benefits of this inferior food. -- Kilmer McCully, MD, Author of The Homocysteine Revolution and The Heart Revolution

Bravo to Kaayla for digging up the whole story on soy and telling the truth. -- Debra Lynn Dadd, Author of Home Safe Home

Kaayla Daniel exposes soy for what it is, a substance that, when processed, packaged and marketed by unscrupulous companies―not to mention overconsumed by the public―becomes a harmone-disrupting drug capable of causing a host of health problems, including thyroid conditions. In The Whole Soy Story, Kaayla Daniel dismantles the marketing mythology that sells soy as a health food, replacing it with the fascinating, well-researched and fully referenced truth about soy's very real health dangers. -- Mary J. Shomon, Thyroid patient advocate, author of the bestselling Living Well With Hypothyrodisim:What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You

Kaayla Daniel blows the lid off nutritional dogma. Soy is NOT a miracle food. -- Dr. Joseph Mercola

This is the most important nutritional book of the decade. Every concerned American should read this brilliant and entertaining exposé. -- William Campbell Douglass II, Author of The Milk Book and editor of Real Health Breakthroughs

There is a disturbing number of safety issues surrounding soy that have yet to be resolved. Dr. Kaayla Daniel begins an important dialogue. -- Barbara Dossey, PhD, RN, HNC, FAAN Director, Holistic Nursing Consultants, Santa Fe, NM, Holistic Nursing Consultants, Santa Fe, NM, and author of Florence

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of information. Definitelyl food for thought; I changed my eating habits.
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024
Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Covers the literature on soy hormone mimics
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2017
Verified Purchase
Very detailed, lots of research. Estrogen mimics are a health hazard. Men are affected to ways, as too women. Women have also testosterone receptors, and men estrogen receptors on cells. They are vital hormones regulating growth, fat distribution, muscle mass, protect the brain, etc. Soy beans make a mimic of estrogen and thus testosterone--the 2 hormones differ only by one functional group. The book covers the research, which is extensive. This is a college level work which is a lead on why we are getting taller and having earlier puberty? Mimic can also muck up the vital function of these sex hormones. It is the best book on the effects of soy. Needs a recent edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soy: America's Most Overhyped "Health" Food
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2008
Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for your health!
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2011

Nowadays, I've wondered why we, as a culture, are getting so sick. 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars We've been tricked again: Important information, especially for women
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2012
Verified Purchase
This book has important information about soy as a food and about how it is marketed and subsidized (like corn) so that we are given biased information without the provision of the dangers of soy. The miracle food may be causing many health problems. After reading this book, I now think that my consumption of large amounts of soy contributed or totally caused my "Hyper-parathyroidism" (for which I've had surgery) and my multi-noduled goiter/throid situation. It also probably caused a friend's neck goiter and vulvadiniya. The book is well written by respectable and credentialed medical personnel. Read this book to protect yourself and stop or limit your soy consumption now. Soy is not the miracle food that so many of us vegetarians thought it was. I wish I had read this book 2 years ago!

It's about time that we have both sides of soy. I have avoided it for over 30 years knowing about it's dangers. People would say I was crazy. Now that we are in the era of whistle blowers we can make our own choice. What worries me the most is good parents give their babies soy feeling that they are make a healthy choice.

Ich habe das Buch auf Englisch gelesen, weil es auf Deutsch nicht erhältlich ist. Das ist schade, aber vermutlich darauf zurückzuführen, dass der Zeitgeist in Deutschland durch Veganismus/Vegetarismus momentan sehr "pro Soja" ist. In jeder Frauenzeitschrift findet man, wie gesund Soja sein soll, Kochbücher darüber gibt es wie Sand am Meer.

Das Buch öffnet einem wirklich die Augen über die sogenannte Wunderpflanze Soja und entlarvt die zahlreichen Gesundheitsversprechen um sie als nicht nur gravierend falsch, sondern belegt auch sehr gut, wie gefährlich Sojaprodukte sind.

Nach einer kurzen historischen Einführung, erfährt man etwas über traditionelle Sojaprodukte, die in Asien verzehrt wurden und wie sich Soja schließlich seinen Weg in die Ernährung des Menschen (im Westen) geschlichen hat. Dabei wird knallhart mit dem Mythos aufgeräumt, dass die Asiaten Soja als Grundnahrungsmittel benutzen. Westler, vor allem Amerikaner, essen heutzutage zigmal mehr Soja als Japaner und Co.
Kaayla weist daraufhin, dass die Produkte oft eine lange Kette von industriellen Verarbeitungsprozessen hinter sich haben, bis überhaupt halbwegs essbar sind (Extruder bis zu Glutamat). Mit Natürlichkeit hat das nichts zu tun, im schlimmsten Fall entstehen sogar toxische Substanzen.

Danach werden kritisch die Inhaltsstoffe der Sojabohne beleuchtet, z.B. Phytoöstrogene, Lektine, das Fett, Phytinsäure etc. Besonders das Kapitel über Protein ist interessant, weil es anschaulich darstellt, dass die Behauptung, Soja enthalte gleichwertiges Protein zu tierischen Produkten, nicht haltbar ist und im Gegenteil sogar zu Defiziten an Aminosäuren führt (diese Tatsache wird in Pflanzenköstlerkreisen gerne abgestritten oder beschönigt, aber gerade für Vegetarier ist es wichtig, sich das bewusst zu machen).

Ein paar geschilderte Aspekte betreffen uns zum Glück in Europa/Deutschland nicht, besonders die Baby Formula, weil die Behörden bei uns hier schon lange warnen und abraten. Es ist aber trotzdem interessant etwas über die erschreckende Situation in den USA zu lesen.

Auch Kritik an großen Firmen und der "Sojalobby" wird geübt, die durch gezielte Propaganda Soja überall in die tägliche Ernährung gebracht hat. In fast allen Kapiteln gibt es Schilderungen von Menschen, die gesundheitliche Probleme durch Sojaverzehr bekommen haben. Hinten im Anhang finden sich auf guten 40(!) Seiten alle Informationen zu den Quellen und genannten Untersuchungen und Studien. Alles, was genannt wird, kann auch wirklich fundiert belegt werden.

Ich habe schon lange bevor ich das Buch gelesen habe und sogar noch zu Zeiten, als ich noch selbst Vegetarier war, Soja aus meinem Speiseplan gestrichen. Das Buch hat mir diesen Schritt nochmal bestätigt. Es gibt einem die wissenschaftlichen Fakten an die Hand, um gegen den Sojatrend argumentieren zu können. Nach Lektüre wird man mit Sicherheit kein Soja mehr essen. Ich denke mir heute nur noch "Was?! Das habe ich meinem Körper zugemutet?!"
Ich kann das Buch nur allen empfehlen, die sich mit gesunder Ernährung auseinandersetzen wollen, vielleicht vor allem Vegetarier und Veganern. Einen großen Bogen um Sojaprodukte zu machen, erweist der Gesundheit einen Bärendienst.

Ich mache nur die Einschränkung, dass der Inhalt zwar auch für Laien verständlich geschrieben ist, aber man ernährungswissenschaftliches Wissen braucht, um wirklich alles verstehen zu können. Es kommen viele Fachbegriffe vor.

Das Buch verdient fünf Sterne.
