I think what you mean is that foods are highly selected? Highly selected ≠ GMO. Selecting is not necessary a bad thing (although sometimes problems do occur). The problem about GMO soy is the overuse of herbicide because they can eliminate weeds without harming GMO soy.

OMG, you do realise those are also known as Prebiotics. They feed the good bacteria in your gut, as a consequence those bacteria make a lot of beneficial things like fatty acids. That stop issues like leaky gut and other types of damage to the intestinal cell wall. They also create vitamins and minerals, and increase in numbers to stop the bad bacteria colonising your gut and making you ill.

Please do some more reading before scare mongering.

From what I can see just about every food we buy in the supermarket is genetically modified. Eat GMO or starve. What normal groups of people can possibly find the time or the money to ensure that they are not eating genetically modified food, and if they do have the time and the money, what about pollution issues and the thousand and one other issues that anyone, trained or untrained, can publicly advertise on the internet. I think the issue is that it is all very well telling us that we may be poisoning ourselves but without a realistic programme offered as to how we can avoid this, on budgets and with the normal limitations of day to day working life, of what value is this? It is really just the equivalent of blowing a very big raspberry. I think for myself, that the next time I say the Lord’s Prayer, I shall be meditating on the line ‘give us this day our daily bread’. I do believe that nothing is too insignificant to God if it bothers us and He is the one with the answers…

For example, your comment about phytoestrogens and breast cancer is in fact the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the article that you yourself linked to actually says.

https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-975/soy

definitively mentions multiple times that tofu helps PREVENT breast cancer

Your comment on soy is more correct. Soy is one of the best plant protein source, a legume, with all 22 amino acids. Has Genistein, to protect against breast cancer. One thing wrong with soy tofu is that the soluble fiber been processed out. Also when it comes to soy being GMO that a man-made perversion, not NATURE’S. Yes, buy organic.

hi

“The 90-day-long tests are insufficient to evaluate chronic toxicity, and the signs highlighted in the kidneys and livers could be the onset of chronic diseases”

The author of this website is a piece of shit. He/she will try to spin anything to push an agenda.

LOL! You are right. This article is bogus.

Instead of assassinating the guy’s character and assuming he has no knowledge on nutrition, you probably should have conducted your research, because it would have shown you that he has the highest nutrition certification there is. If you don’t agree with chiropractic care and its benefits or the studies he sited on the dangers of soy, why even comment? You can respectfully disagree and prove him wrong by citing unbiased studies-those not financed by the soy industry-proving the benefits of soy.

He has the highest nutrition certification offered. You should have probably looked into that before you assassinated his character for simply not agreeing with him. Disagree kindly and site your studies or you are doing the same thing you accuse him of.

Well said.

Yes. We are guests on Dr. Axe’s Comment Board. It’s so easy to get outraged and p.o.’d and lose sight of that fact. I relate. I love Truth with a capital T. But take note he has not obliterated your negative posts, which he could do if he so chose. What does that say to you? (Something negative no doubt, LOL :) I intend to eat tofu (organic). But I believe he is sincere, if perhaps alarmist in his opinion – and not paying attention to culinary tradition and history. But this space for disagreement and information-sharing, i.e. comment board, is provided by Dr. Axe and his commercial pursuits. He could be selling antibiotics, vaccines, and other loverly crrp. You don’t have to buy anything to post, read, and learn stuff here. Clue in, my fellow detractors! I thank-you, Dr. Axe, even though I disagree with your anti-tofu :( stance!

hi dr Im doing an essay r. seach about non organic and gmo food such as bean curd tofu. I wonder if it can cause breast cancer for women. thx

I buy Green Cuisine. The ingredients are organic soybeans, water, culture, herbs, spices and salt. It’s easy to find in most grocery stores. Unless you have allergies, I see no negatives at all.

I think you should believe those of Asian descent, such as yourself, whose diet consists of daily soy products and remain much healthier than those in the US. Dr. Axe is speaking about things he knows nothing about.

However, it’s still disturbing to know that you are misleading many others. May I suggest that you do a little research before posting false claims and presenting them as facts. There are many experts who can fill you in.

At the very least, take a quick trip through any grocery store to see that organically grown, non-gmo soy products are, rather than being challenging to find, easily available.

If you read the comments, you should now be aware of your errors. Out of respect to your readers, I hope you have the ethical standards to do the research and edit your article to convey the truth.

There’s no way he is a real medical doctor. Half of his information, across the board, is erroneous.

Robert, if “very much in the minority” views are grounds for dismissal, what does that say about vegan views?

This study has been retracted and criticized for numerous problems in its methods.

maybe yours soybeans where not as Genetically Modified Organisms as in American farms?

I am Asian man and eating tofu almost every day. Link above is another doctor said tofu is toxic too…… I do not know what to believe????

Won’t be coming on this website ever again

Cross breeding is one thing. Adding “roundup” is quite another.

You weren’t eating GMO soy.

They haven’t been eating GMO soy.

Phytoestrogens are plant based estrogens and are quite real Mr “biochemist student”. I hope you study for your next exam more than the amount of thought you placed in this comment.

Best regards from tofu lobby, lol

YES, WW2 for sure :) https://vegevege.pl/en/?TOFU-beats-DRAXE

The article explains why:
“Traditional Asian diets rich in fermented soy products definitely have their health benefits. Unfortunately, the majority of the time that we eat soy in this country, it’s the unfermented variety like tofu”
