Soya Nuts

[Talo]

Anyone try these things ? Man, they are good. I picked up a 400g bag from Walmart last night . Since they were only $2 I thought I would give them a try.

1/2 cup :

13g fat ( 2.5g sat )
16g carbs
4g fibre
17g protein

They are baked and salted.... Very tasty and a good snack for inbetween meals.

I don't eat anything with soya or soy in it. It's way to processed and that makes the phyto estrogen's found in the nut/seed to be released into your system.

agreed

You would have to eat an awful lot of soy nuts to grow moobs. Ranchers add estrogen to their testosterone (Synovex-H) to put extra muscle on the cattle.

Personally I like steamed endamame beans with rock salt. :)

I have researched the hell out of soy because my son is deadly allergic to cow milk and all dairy products.

If you read studies on pubmed you'll see that half of them have negative outcomes and the other half are neutral. My conclusion is that it's safe in moderation.. ie under 25-30g of soy protein per day.

I personally don't consume it though besides the odd bowl of cereal with silk once in a while.

For females with breast cancer it makes it worse, same things for thyroid problems.

For males it's been linked to lowered testosterone and fertility issues.
