The story of Soybean dates back to the Chou Dynasty (1134-246 BC) when soybean was designated one of the five sacred grains, along with barley, wheat, millet and rice. Agricultural literature of the period speaks frequently of the soybean and its use in crop rotation. Apparently the soy plant was initially used as a method of fixing nitrogen in the soil.
The soybean did not serve as a food until the discovery of fermentation techniques, some time during the Chou Dynasty. The first soy foods were fermented products like tempeh, natto, miso and soy sauce. George Washington Carver (1864–1943), the black American botanist, teacher and inventor, was instrumental in developing scores of uses for soybeans and other legumes. Soybeans soon became a Southern and Midwest staple crop, and it spread rapidly as new applications for use and manufacturing of soy products became apparent in the early 1900’s. Henry Ford also contributed to the advancement of soybean utilization, spending millions on research and development of industrial uses of soy.
However, what has most interested scientists in recent years is the discovery of phytochemicals and the profound benefits of soy on human health. Benefits of soy include promoting heart health and healthy bones, preventing cancer and alleviating menopausal symptoms. The cholesterol lowering effect of soy milk and its role of heart disease was widely recognized in the mid 90s when the results of a meta-analysis of 38 clinical studies were published. The results demonstrated that a diet with significant soy protein reduces Total Cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (the “Bad” cholesterol) and Triglycerides.
A few recent studies released in 2005 found that soy only had a modest effect on cholesterol levels. The American Heart Association no longer recommends soy for heart disease. FDA is currently reviewing its policy on soy health claim. So what should you do? Hmmm…enjoy your soy foods like before. It may not lower cholesterol to an extent we originally thought, but it certainly does not harm our health!
Did you know that there are approximately six pounds of skin on your body which provides a porous membrane into your system? Dirt, dust, pollutants, and other environmental pollutants enter the body through the skin, making it an even more significant gateway to your system than food. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that 884 chemicals used in personal care products and cosmetics are known to be toxic. And a recent Canadian study of pediatric drugs found cosmetic and personal care products as the most common cause of unintentional poisonings of kids under six.
The chemicals and toxins found in most commercial skin care products also have a detrimental effect on the environment, although their effect is just beginning to be understood. A team of US Geological Survey scientists showed that a variety of chemicals from personal care products were among 95 wastewater contaminants found in US waterways.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies cosmetics into 13 categories, but it does not regulate them. Seven toxins are banned, but many more known toxins and carcinogens are allowed in cosmetic formulations. Less than 1% of the FDA’s budget is allocated for the evaluation of skin care products. And because the FDA does not regulate skin care manufacturers, questionable ingredients often make their way into their formulas. These ingredients may seem harmless in the short-term, but their chemical components are stored in the fatty tissues of the body where they accumulate and magnify over time.
What should a layman do in these circumstances? If a skin care product contains an ingredient that you are unsure about, write down its name and do a little research. A quick online search should reveal its true nature. As a consumer, you need to be on the look out for chemicals and toxic ingredients that can be harmful to your skin and your body. You would never think about eating a food that contained chemicals or cancer causing agents. Don’t let these toxins enter your system through your beauty products either!
