Soy beans are a top 5 food allergen. In the US, soy beans get into almost everything because most "vegetable oil" and margarine is made from it.
We had to remove soy beans from our diet and we are much healthier as a result. A lot of people who have digestive issues could probably trace the problem back to an intolerance of soy beans. It took us a lot of trial and error to figure this out in our case.
We found we could only get decent lard off of etsy.com, or from an rural butcher. The best lard is from grass fed animals, which has better taste/nutrition.
- 01100011 8y agoI only have one food allergy that I'm aware of - soy protein. AFAIK, it was caused by my mom following a fad in the 70s and giving me soy milk or soy-based formula. I was sick all the time until my dad got fed up and gave me cows milk. It's too bad, I like tofu.
- dehrmann 8y agoWhile soy oil is quite common, soy allergies seem to be to the protein, not the oil (or lecithin for the chocolate lovers out there). According to wikipedia, > Some food contains soy-based ingredients that are not considered allergens under national regulations, and thus not labeled, for example, foods cooked in highly refined soy oil, which is considered safe due to absence of soy protein.
