Soy products are everywhere. They’re in our food, drinks and beauty products. But what does Dr. Sebi say about Soy? And what does the science say about their effects on human health?

Dr. Sebi has some strong opinions about soy and he’s not afraid to share them. Keep reading to learn more about this controversial plant protein and why you might want to avoid it if you want to stay healthy.

Dr. Sebi on Soy

Dr. Sebi, a holistic healer, is known for his plant-based diet that he swears by for treating many diseases. Dr. Sebi talks about the soybean and how it is one of the most harmful foods you can eat.

Soy is a grain with many different thoughts about its health benefits. The well-known herbalist Dr. Sebi had a clear view of the soy intake in the diet.

“Let me tell you something about that, about alloy, it delivers a great or large amount of sulfite in the body, sulfites, not sulphide, they will hurt you [man: they are] but you know that I found that soybean delivers the amount of sulfite in the body as does alloy. Anybody eats soybeans, that stuff is bad. Whenever you eat soy, your body have problems digesting and assimilating iron, sulfites love to eat up your iron and you will forever become anemic and remain anemic, oh don’t tell me, you eat soy you are anemic, ma’am, the sister is right, she said ‘I thought they said it was good for your hot flashes”

What Does Dr. Sebi Say About Soy?

Dr. Sebi is a well-known expert with many teaching classes about health and nutrition. His speeches are based on the alkaline type of eating accompanied by high mineral and vitamin intake in the body.

He explains how and why soy was introduced in America after so many years of existence. In his words, he says:

“George Washington Carver is a famous American scientist who began his research in his own backyard. He experimented with peanuts, cotton, soybeans and dozens of other plants. In 1904 George Washington Carver discovered that soybeans were a valuable source of protein and oil that could be used to make industrial products.
Henry Ford is a recognized industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company who is known for inventing the assembly line and for his famous automobile, the Model T Ford.
George Washington Carver shared his scientific discoveries with his good friend Henry Ford. Mr. Ford owned a large research facility. He came to the lab one day with a huge bag of soybeans. Dumping them out on the floor, he told a team of young scientists, “You guys are supposed to be smart. You ought to be able to do something with these soybeans.“
In time, Carver and the team of scientists in Ford’s lab made a strong enough plastic for the gearshift knobs, horn buttons, window frames, accelerator pedals, light-switch assemblies and ignition-coil casings. They also fashioned the exterior of an automobile from “soybean plastic.” It was the protein from the soybeans that under heat was made into the hard plastic parts for Ford’s cars. By 1935 Mr. Ford was using one bushel of beans for every car he manufactured. (60 pounds = 1 bushel).
Biology and chemistry help explain the problems that Carver and Ford and the young scientists were trying to solve while they were working with the soybeans. George Washington Carver and Henry Ford experimented with heating the protein in soybeans to produce a bio-based material, soy protein plastic, that was strong enough to be used to make car parts”

Dr. Sebi on Iron: What You Need to Know

Dr. Sebi on Soy, Soya, Soy Sauce, Soy Milk and Tofu

“Whenever you eat soy, your body has a problem digesting and absorbing iron”- by Dr. Sebi.

As the doctor explains in one of his teachings:

“Tofu is hardened soy milk that is made from soybeans. Soybeans have an acid base of 4.0 pH making them harmful. When you eat Soybeans, it creates a reaction that produces sulfides in the body, robbing you of your moisture and oxygen. Soybean is an incomplete molecular structure. Why? Because there is nothing in your body that resembles the soybean. It cannot assimilate with you.
The human body is made up of 102 minerals, and soybeans do not contain any because they were made using starch. Starch is a chemical binder, and to tie two unequal chemicals, you have to use starch. The body converts starch into carbonic acid, which contains cyanide. It also contains inorganic silica.
Tofu is unnatural food, and putting tofu in our mouth is like putting a knife and trying to chew it. We can not tolerate those things.
Dr. Sebi

Dr. Sebi on Soy and its Derivatives

Soybeans are popular and traditional in Asian culture. Some Asian dietary tradition is based on soy and its derivatives. However, with globalization, soy became part of many people’s menu.

So, do we know how many derivatives soy has? Here is a list of the most popular Soy derivatives:

Table: Soy and its derivatives

Soy	Soy lecithin	Xanthum gum
Soy milk	Soy protein isolate	Edamame
Soy formula	Natto	Kinnoko flour
Soy protein	Tempeh	Kyodofu
Soy flour	Tofu	Soy sauce
Soy oil	Guar gum	Soy albumin
Soy fibers	Supro	Yuba
Soy sprouts	Tamari	Soy broth

According to Dr. Sebi, soybeans are not produced for human consumption; its original purpose was for the making of plastic and fabric materials. So, he says eating soybeans will deplete your iron reserves.

From a scientific point of view, there is a correlation with the learnings of Dr. Sebi. Soybeans are a great source of sulfites. Exposure to sulfites has been reported to cause a range of adverse effects in individuals. Effects range from dermatitis, urticaria, flushing, hypotension, abdominal pain, and diarrhea to life-threatening anaphylactic and asthmatic reactions.

Who Should Avoid Eating Soy?

Soy isoflavones are chemicals found in soy that bind to estrogen receptors in the body and cause either weak hormonal activity. The two soy isoflavones are called genistein and daidzein.

Therefore everyone should avoid eating soy, including all women, nursing or breastfeeding mothers as well as the elderly and children.

Women especially should take great care to limit or avoid the ingestion of soy and its derivatives – especially in the postmenopausal period when hormonal imbalance is at peak.

Soy products are also rich in isoflavones that are directly connected with irritable gastrointestinal tract, bad absorption, diarrhea, bloating, and nausea.

Is Soy toxic?

Soy is a hybrid plant. It is widely genetically modified and it is estimated that approximately 90% of the soybeans on the market in the United States are genetically modified (GM).

Yet, there is no strong scientific research that soy is toxic but for the aforementioned reasons, it should be excluded from the diet.

Why is Soy toxic?

Eating soy is connected with the inhibition of Trypsin. Trypsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins in the small intestine, secreted by the pancreas as trypsinogen. It helps in the process of acid neutralization.

Soy protein isolate is incredibly harmful to humans. It can cause cancer twice as fast as cow’s milk. Soy protein is mostly found in imitation/fake foods and other processed foods.

The female and male body consists of several different hormones. Females have estrogens that help them to produce less hair, maintain normal menstrual cycles, and reproduction. Men have testosterone that helps with beard, hair, and muscle development.

When soy products are ingested into the body, there tends to be a confusion in the hormonal production and balance. This causes an imbalance in the estrogen and testosterone levels of both men and women.

Does Soy Raise Estrogen Levels?

Soy is a grain that has a naturally high content of genistein – a type of estrogen that is found in the food form.

Therefore, if dietary estrogens are influence hormonal estrogens at low doses, one would predict that they stimulate the estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer cells. This could lead to a whole lot of detrimental effects including cancer.
