Is soy good for you?? In the past decade soy has bee heralded as a health food but here’s a few facts about soy we use in Australia that may change your mind; Most soy contains estrogen mimicking molecules which is bad news for weight loss. Estrogen is the hormone most prevalent in females which triggers weight gain around the areas we hate – stomach, hips & bottom. Guys – you aren’t safe from this either, estrogen is the opposite to testosterone which means a decrease in lean muscle and an increase in body fat. It also contains other nasties that inhibit your digestion, thyroid function and even your mood. Do these affects sound like they will help or hinder your health goals?
