I came across this yesterday on the day before. It's about soy milk brands; beware which ones you buy! I've been buying WhiteWave's Silk Soymilk for a long while, but no more after this.

"Silk, SoyDream, Pacific Natural Foods and Vitasoy all Rebuked in New Soy Scorecard Ratings"
http://www.naturalnews.com/026294.html

(NaturalNews) The Cornucopia Institute (www.cornucopia.org) has just released a new report about organic soy products that's sending shockwaves through the soy industry. By compiling information on the sourcing of soybeans, the use of toxic chemicals for soy protein extraction, and the use or avoidance of genetically modified soybeans, the Cornucopia Institute has created an Organic Soy Scorecard that reveals which soy product companies are truly trustworthy vs. those that are not.

"Soy Report and Scorecard"
http://www.cornucopia.org/2009/05/soy-report-and-scorecard/

The soy companies scorecard

5-star rating
• Eden Foods - 100% of their soybeans are grown in the U.S. and Canada.

• Vermont Soy (Vermont) - 100% of soybeans also grown in U.S. and Canada (mostly in Vermont). Low-heat pasteurization helps preserve soybean nutrients.

• Small Planet Tofu (Washington) - Buys solely from American farmers.

• FarmSoy (Tennessee) - Real tofu made from soybeans bought from American farmers.

• TwinOats (Virginia) - Buys soybeans from an organic family farm in Virginia.

• Unisoya / Green Cuisine (Canada) - They grown their own organic soybeans on 400 acres.

4-star rating
• Organic Valley
• Great Eastern Sun
• Fresh Tofu
• Wildwood
• Tofu Shop

3-star rating
• Harris Teeter

2-star rating
• Trader Joe's - refused to disclose sourcing information

1-star rating
• Pacific Natural Foods - Buys soybeans from China and refused to disclose the name of the organic certifier in China. Refused to respond to questions about the certification of their "organic" soybeans. Cornucopia wonders whether Pacific Natural Foods is engaged in "a marketing gimmick" when it claims its products are "Certified to the Source." (Certified by who?)

• Vitasoy USA - Buys soybeans from China.

• Westsoy / SoyDream (both owned by Hain Celestial Group) - Refused to share sourcing information.

• Silk (Dean Foods) - Refused to participate. Says the report: Since Dean Foods acquired WhiteWave, its founder, Steve Demos, has left the company, along with almost all of the pioneering management -- those who believed in "green" values. According to Demos, the company is now all about "green, with the dead presidents on it."

Sky thank you for this information.

We shouldn't drink any soy products but let me tell you what is wrong with Silk. I'll lay out every reason I got NOT to drink it or perhaps any soy milks. Dean Foods is now the leading milk and dairy producer in the United States. Dean food makes the silk products. Thanks to Monsanto I don't think you can even find soy beans that aren't Genetically Modified now. GMO's require MORE pesticides and herbicides NOT less. You want very little protein if any at all. Raw enzyme rich foods are a good substitution for protein in which isn't nearly as important as complex carbohydrates. Soy Beans must be cooked making them a nutrient deficient food. Silk soy milk and perhaps many others are fortified with nutrients. This means somebody is deciding what vitamins to put in the product and how much of each. Science is limited to only a very narrow range of known Vitamins and minerals. This simply means that there is in fact no Nutrient balance at all. Eating this way is counter productive to your health. You will never hear the food or vitamin industries admit that they don't know even half of the bio-chemicals found in healthy natural foods because then no one would buy there so called healthy products.

Bottom line is that you shouldn't buy things that are precooked, genetically modified, fortified, or take vitamins. Even if something is labeled organic you have to blindly trust the manufactures.

Honestly Dear Friends...

What we resist persists...

I have had two aunts who were the healthiest people in the world , only ate fruits and vege's ... never smoked a cigarette in their life... aside from being bible thumping christians whose whole worlds revolved around the belief that one could be miraculously healed, walk on scorpions...all that good stuff.

Boith died in their 50's from deadly diseases.

Personally... I haven't been to a doctor in 10 years...seriously! I have been maybe 3 times in 20 years..., and I am so far as healthy as a horse and could lift a house! lol...well, maybe...

I am not saying or proclaiming that I have the "key" to healing everything that ails you, or that if I ever get sick that I'm gonna know the perfect solution to beat physical death...

But I will say this... my daughter used to be a hypochondriac... she saw some movie as a child that made her think every little bodily thing meant something drastically wrong...she would say "I need to go to the doctor what if this  is..., or...or ..."?

This sums up my belief about physicians... I trained her. I would always say "Korean, what is the intent of the physician"?

She would say like clockwork with a big roll of the eyes "To find something wrong dad"

That's right so If a physician can find nothing wrong, then what?

She would say (rolling the eyes again) "There's no reason for their existence".

That's right.

I dont think just anyone should be this way...it depends on how your mind assimilates what... the way the interstates connect... but for ME...I just dont entertain sickness in my awareness... if it ever befalls me at least I didn't die a thousand deaths worrying over it in the meantime. So far I can outwork any 20 year old I know.

In truth, while I once again dont advise this, unless your mind can assimilate it of course, PEOPLE EAT GLASS... they do! They eat glass and walk on fire... they do all kinds of things that dont fit into the "grey" area of being unhealthy, according to most peoples perception!

Dont tempt fate?

I am confident that 50% of it is in the food you eat... but even more confident that 90% is in your mind.

Just my two pence.

John

Ps. For me...beating the clock isn't as important as enjoying the time. Life is a experience not a destination.
