Soy and Kashi Products are Deadly?
Filed in Category Reproductive System Review
According to this site, soy products are extremely unhealthy and detrimental to the human body. Kashi Cereals contain soy protein concentrate. Soy causes “malnutrition, digestive distress, immune-system breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders and infertility–even cancer and heart disease. ”
Moreover, Kashi cereals contain alot of sugars, evaporated cane juice crystals, brown rice syrup, and expeller pressed canola oil.
How healthy are the ingredients in Kashi cereals? Alot of people say it is very healthy, but I’m reading mixed reviews. I’m just not sure. What do you guys think?

Honestly, I don’t believe it. Soy is VERY healthy for you, especially since I’m a vegetarian, I drink it every day in smoothies and cereals.
Don’t believe that stuff..
I don’t believe it either……… I eat a ton of soy products, the
only distress I’ve ever noticed is maybe more gas, but Beano will help with that.
Kashi products are healthy IMO, I’m just recovering from surgery and the only crackers I would eat are Kashi TLC……..the other crackers are all made from “bleached or enriched flours”….
I think that for the most part Kashi products are healthy, but I also know that large consumption of soy products can affect thyroid function. When I was having thyroid problems they asked me whether I ate a lot of soy products, since they can contribute to thyroid dysfunction. I think its all about moderation though.
No Manda, soy is NOT healthy for you. Soy is unhealthy. Fermented soy in small amounts is OK like Miso, temphe and soy sauce. But soy protein, soy milk, tofu, in large amounts are bad for your health. More and more studies are proving this. See http://www.soyonlineservice.co.nz/

Even the American Heart Association has withdrawn their claim that soy helps prevent heart disease.

The safety of soy foods has yet to be proven, and that human beings have become guinea pigs in what Daniel M. Sheehan, formerly senior toxicologist with the FDA’s National Center for Toxicological Research, has called a “large, uncontrolled and basically unmonitored human experiment.” D. M. Sheehan, “Isoflavone Content of Breast Milk and Soy Formulas: Benefits and Risks,” letter to the editor, Clin Chem 43 (1997): 850.
