Soybean products are feminizing

There's a slow poison out there that's severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it's a "health food," one of our most popular.

Now, I'm a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it's organic. I state my bias here just so you'll know I'm not anti-health food.

The dangerous food I'm speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they're all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore.

I have nothing against an occasional soy snack. Soy is nutritious and contains lots of good things. Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you're also getting substantial quantities of estrogens.

Estrogens are female hormones. If you're a woman, you're flooding your system with a substance it can't handle in surplus. If you're a man, you're suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your "female side," physically and mentally.

In fetal development, the default is being female. All humans (even in old age) tend toward femininity. The main thing that keeps men from diverging into the female pattern is testosterone, and testosterone is suppressed by an excess of estrogen.

If you're a grownup, you're already developed, and you're able to fight off some of the damaging effects of soy. Babies aren't so fortunate. Research is now showing that when you feed your baby soy formula, you're giving him or her the equivalent of five birth control pills a day. A baby's endocrine system just can't cope with that kind of massive assault, so some damage is inevitable. At the extreme, the damage can be fatal.

Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because "I can't remember a time when I wasn't homosexual." No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can't remember a time when excess estrogen wasn't influencing them.

Doctors used to hope soy would reduce hot flashes, prevent cancer and heart disease, and save millions in the Third World from starvation. That was before they knew much about long-term soy use. Now we know it's a classic example of a cure that's worse than the disease. For example, if your baby gets colic from cow's milk, do you switch him to soy milk? Don't even think about it. His phytoestrogen level will jump to 20 times normal. If he is a she, brace yourself for watching her reach menarche as young as seven, robbing her of years of childhood. If he is a boy, it's far worse: He may not reach puberty till much later than normal.

Research in 2000 showed that a soy-based diet at any age can lead to a weak thyroid, which commonly produces heart problems and excess fat. Could this explain the dramatic increase in obesity today?

Recent research on rats shows testicular atrophy, infertility and uterus hypertrophy (enlargement). This helps explain the infertility epidemic and the sudden growth in fertility clinics. But alas, by the time a soy-damaged infant has grown to adulthood and wants to marry, it's too late to get fixed by a fertility clinic.

Worse, there's now scientific evidence that estrogen ingredients in soy products may be boosting the rapidly rising incidence of leukemia in children. In the latest year we have numbers for, new cases in the U.S. jumped 27 percent. In one year!

There's also a serious connection between soy and cancer in adults – especially breast cancer. That's why the governments of Israel, the UK, France and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on soy.

In sad contrast, 60 percent of the refined foods in U.S. supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the next few years because (last I heard) the out-of-touch medicrats in the FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal, energy bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, etc., to claim that "soy prevents cancer." It doesn't.

P.S.: Soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it's perfectly safe because it's fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Miso, natto and tempeh are also OK, but avoid tofu

a German company offers the Mama Board

For mothers who simply aren't going fast enough when carting around their pint-sized overlords, a German company offers the Mama Board. Apparently, it latches to the rear axle of any stroller, after which it's nothing but fast-flying fun after a grocery run or a trip to the park.

A short WMV clip on www.mamaboard.de details the assembly and shows footage of mothers rolling around. We have to ask: Are these things sidewalk-legal? Or will mothers have to hit the streets and keep up with car traffic? The site doesn't mention any kind of failsafe if the board detaches from the stroller, although the mom in the photo doesn't seem too worried. That kid, on the other hand, doesn't seem so sure

Triobike

This aluminium frame, seven speed TrioBike features a two seater stroller that attaches to the front of the bike. You can now push the kids easily while enjoying a bike ride at the same time. The stroller can be detached from the bike, and used as a push stroller. I bet it will cost you an arm!

Exotic Stroller

This stroller by Dan Clements, might be the Rolls Royce Phantom of strollers. Designed with emphasis on easy use and comfortability, it has a unique baby sling on the inside that features a five point harness to hold a newborn to a 12months old baby safely. Instead of regular padding, the use of neoprene gives a less cumbersome design. Should be available for sale soon.

Seat chiller...essential for summer

Just today I realized how dang hot the car seat can get even in just 70 degree weather.... those metal belt buckles are no joke. Here's a way from keep scalding your lil one...

The Seat Chiller is a revolutionary car seat cooler that is the brainchild of Baby Dagny's senior vice president, Natalie Prust, who came up with the idea after hearing her children loudly complain about their hot seats on a very warm Palm Springs afternoon.

Seat Chiller is a one-size-fits-all car seat cooler made of vinyl, flannel, and flexible non-toxic ice packs. The concept behind the product is simple and very effective: Mom or Dad takes the Seat Chiller from the freezer and places it on the child's car seat before buckling in. The seat and its buckles are instantly cooled, the Seat Chiller is removed, and then the child can comfortably be placed into the car seat. You can take it with you to use when running errands with your children to keep the seat chilled between stops or anytime the car will be sitting in the hot sun.
