Soybeans are not as great as everyone is saying they are. They are actually full of antinutrients and enzyme inhibitors that stop Trypsin and other protein digesting enzymes. In some animal testing the animals have gotten cancer, larger and pathological disorders of the pancreas. Soybeans also contain a clotting agent. In a high soy diet they could cause health problems. The safe way of eating soy is by eating small amounts or by eating tempeh, natto, miso and soy sauce. Cooking the soybean does not remove all the harmful substances.
Everything has corn in it these days. Why? It is cheep, abundant, easy sweetener and easily produced year after year. Well what you don't know is that by consuming large amounts can actually inhibit proper cell function. It can cause bloating and our body does not properly digest it. So basically same thing as soybeans. Eat less of it! Also many meats you eat are on a majority diet of corn.
Watch out for genetically modified foods. They are horrible for you. GM corn pollen has been linked to killing Monarch caterpillars. Pollen getting on their milkweed plants tainted the plant and killed the caterpillars. A super-weed could be created by cross blending of genes. People could become intolerant to GM foods and begin to have severe allergies like peanut allergies showing up more and more. Also the health affects on us are unknown. No long term study has been conducted. We are messing with some serious stuff here. Nature is not meant to be tampered with.
