Katarina I read this about soy also. We found a similar effect when researching a book that we are just finishing up about making milk using sprouted almonds (coming soon to a website near you :-).
Almonds have an enzyme inhibitor which is what keeps them dormant for years and years. When eaten raw, this will neutralize some of your own enzymes. BUT...when you soak the almonds overnight, this enzyme inhibitor is converted to enzymes! That's a lot of why sprouts are so good for you. Sprouted almond milk shakes are absolutely delicious and very energizing. (and low fat, despite rumors to the contrary) This enzyme inhibitor effect is also cancelled out when the almonds are cooked. But that destroys the enzymes along with the enzyme inhibitors. According to the source, the other alternative is to eat some digestive enzyme tablets along with the soy. I'm not positive if we are looking at the same effect in soy and sesame seeds, but it seems reasonable. Almond milk smoothies for breakfast, along with a few kelp tablets and, during the day, a couple glasses of fresh organic fruit and vegetable juice feels like it provides all of the nutrients I need. I also take Colustrum, which I suspect may good for treating Candida - see http://www.immunetree.com/ And some form of oxygen therapy, such as Homozon, may help -- check out - http://www.oxytherapy.com/ They have a mail list too - Subscription Info - http://www.oxytherapy.com/mail-list.html Mail Archive Index - http://www.oxytherapy.com/mailing-archive.html Files Index - http://www.oxytherapy.com/files.html FAQ's - http://www.oxytherapy.com/faq.html Rex > Hi Listers, > since so many of you are so knowledgeable about nutrition, I wonder if anyone > can answer these questions. > Someone just told me that unfermented soy is bad for you because it contains > tripsen (sp) inhibitors which create incomplete digestion of proteins and > negatively affects the bodys use of calcium, zinc and iron and also that it > harms your thyroid.
