Soy is a widely known legume that is most commonly used for consumption. Although many sources claim soy as a complete protein and superfood filled with nutritional benefits, independent research shows otherwise. Soy is filled with phytoestrogens that mimic estrogen in our body that throws our hormones off. It also prevents your thyroid from receiving necessary iodine, contains phytates that block mineral absorption in the digestive tract and is toxic in its raw form. With so many negatives, the government should stop endorsing soy as the health food it isn't and instead conduct research on the toxic plant it is.
