Download or read book The Whole Soy Story written by Kaayla T. Daniel and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, interest in soy foods has increased dramatically. Soy foods have been promoted as a panacea for radiant health, maximum longevity, and disease prevention and reversal. Sales of soy beverages, energy bars and other health foods are experiencing double digit growth and soy ingredients now appear in more than 60 percent of the processed foods in the marketplace. Thus the safety issues surrounding soy food are of particular importance to human health. Scores of studies dating back to the turn of the century have linked soy foods to malnutrition, digestive distress, thyroid dysfunction, immune system breakdown, reproductive disorders and the development of cancer and heart disease. the Whole Soy Story considers these safety issues based upon a thorough review of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies pertaining to soybeans and soy foods, and an examination of government documents and reports obtained, in part, through "freedom of information" acts from the United States, British, Swiss and New Zealand governments. the Whole Soy Story is comprised of a two-part contextual essay followed by a PDE in six sections, divided into 23 chapters. the first part of the Contextual Essay reviews choice of topic, methodology and motivation, while the second part looks at the ways that soy foods were perceived and prepared historically, popular perceptions of soy foods today and the hyping of soy foods. Section One of the PDE considers the different forms of soy foods, old-fashioned versus modern processing techniques and the health problems that arise from the use of modern processing methods. Section Two looks at the nutritional quality of soy macronutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrates). Section Three considers the antinutrients and toxins in soybeans, specifically the protease inhibitors, phytates, lectins, saponins and oxalates, in relationship to malnutrition, digestive distress, and disease causation. Section Four evaluates damage from the metals, manganese, fluoride and aluminum. Section Five considers soybean allergens. Section Six examines the endocrine disruption caused by the soy estrogens known as isoflavones and their roles in causing thyroid dysfunction and reproductive disorders.

Download or read book The Story of Soy written by Christine M. Du Bois and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The humble soybean is the world’s most widely grown and most traded oilseed. And though found in everything from veggie burgers to cosmetics, breakfast cereals to plastics, soy is also a poorly understood crop often viewed in extreme terms—either as a superfood or a deadly poison. In this illuminating book, Christine M. Du Bois reveals soy’s hugely significant role in human history as she traces the story of soy from its domestication in ancient Asia to the promise and peril ascribed to it in the twenty-first century. Traveling across the globe and through millennia, The Story of Soy includes a cast of fascinating characters as vast as the soy fields themselves—entities who’ve applauded, experimented with, or despised soy. From Neolithic villagers to Buddhist missionaries, European colonialists, Japanese soldiers, and Nazi strategists; from George Washington Carver to Henry Ford, Monsanto, and Greenpeace; from landless peasants to petroleum refiners, Du Bois explores soy subjects as diverse as its impact on international conflicts, its role in large-scale meat production and disaster relief, its troubling ecological impacts, and the nutritional controversies swirling around soy today. She also describes its genetic modification, the scandals and pirates involved in the international trade in soybeans, and the potential of soy as an intriguing renewable fuel. Featuring compelling historical and contemporary photographs, The Story of Soy is a potent reminder never to underestimate the importance of even the most unprepossesing sprout.

Their only means on conveyance, Cal's now-flying bed, takes them on a journey beyond the home of the fairies (a cloud floating somewhere over Iceland) to set things right.

Download or read book Crying in H Mart written by Michelle Zauner and published by Picador. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2021 From the indie rockstar Japanese Breakfast, an unflinching, powerful, deeply moving memoir about growing up mixed-race, Korean food, losing her Korean mother, and forging her own identity. In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up the only Asian-American kid at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, moving to the east coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, performing gigs with her fledgling band-and meeting the man who would become her husband-her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother's diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her. Vivacious and plainspoken, lyrical and honest, Michelle Zauner's voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely, Crying in H Mart is a book to cherish, share, and reread. PRAISE FOR CRYING IN H MART 'Michelle Zauner's Crying In H Mart is as good as everyone says it is and, yes, it will have you in tears. An essential read for anybody who has lost a loved one, as well as those who haven't.' Marie-Claire 'The book's descriptions of jjigae, tteokbokki, and other Korean delicacies stand out as tokens of the deep, all-encompassing love between Zauner and her mother, a love that is charted in vivid descriptions of her mother after death; in a time when people around the world are reckoning with untold loss due to COVID-19, Zauner's frankness around death feels like an unexpected yet deeply necessary gift.' Vogue 'Zauner's writing is powerful in its straight-forwardness, though some turns of phrases are as beautiful as any song lyric... but it is her ability to convey how her mother's simple offering of a rice snack was actually an act of the truest love that leaves the most indelible impression.' Refinery 29 'Poignant . . . A tender, well-rendered, heart-wrenching account of the way food ties us to those who have passed. The author delivers mouthwatering descriptions of dishes like pajeon, jatjuk, and gimbap, and her storytelling is fluid, honest, and intimate . . . Zauner's ability to let us in through taste makes her book stand out- she makes us feel like we are in her mother's kitchen, singing her praises.' Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
