Soy, unless fermented (tofu is not) is a goitrogen (a compound that interferes with the normal function of the thyroid gland). I am thinking that it's also a xenohormone (natural and artificial compounds showing hormone-like properties); definitely a phytoestrogen (imitate estrogen effects in the body).....one of the reasons that soy has been lowering testosterone for many years and wrongly increasing estrogen levels in women for years.
I totally agree, dead animals for the most part. I use whole organic grains with a legume to supplement my protein intake also; nothing like animal protein though.
...and tofu. I note that vegans love soy because they won't eat dead animals. Pros & cons. For now, I'll go with dead animals.
