You might want to look for No GMO Soy ....

[MindMover]

""

In 1999, Monsanto defined an “extreme level” of its Roundup herbicide as 5.6 milligrams per kilogram of plant weight.

So imagine how alarmed scientists were to find, on average, nine milligrams of Roundup per kilogram on 70 percent of the genetically engineered soy plants they recently tested. (At least 85 percent of all soy grown in the U.S. is genetically engineered).

The scientists studied 31 different soybean plants on Iowa farms. They compared the accumulation of pesticides and herbicides on plants in three categories: genetically engineered "Roundup Ready" soy, conventionally produced (non-GMO) soy, and soy cultivated using organic practices.

And the results were extremely disturbing.

The study will be published in June, in Food Chemistry, but it’s available now online.

1. This needs to be circulated. Thanks for posting it. nt

2. I avoid all soy anyway. Good to know, but I expect the "extreme level" amount will just be

adjusted upwards.

3. This right here is the main reason I choose not to eat GMO food. eom

[Cha]

4. YEAH! I never eat GMO Anything.. I shop in stores that

have GMO through it.

[roody]

6. That seems difficult. No eating out,

and all organic?

[lunasun]

7. pretty much - soy is everywhere now esp soybean oil

[Cha]

9. It would be a lot of people but not for me..

I don't eat out. always make my own yummy meals.

8. Especially soy fiber

which they sneak into everything.

In Asia soy is eaten in fermented forms.

15. God, the "Asians eat fermented soy" misinformation gets on my nerves.

First of all you can't make a blanket statement about what Asia eats, because Asia is enormous and different countries and cultural groups have huge variations in diet. Second, while some Asian cuisines do use a lot of fermented soy (tempeh, natto, soy sauces, etc) many of those same cultures use unfermented options like edamame, tofu and soy beverages and deserts.

It's an argument that only makes sense if you've never been in a grocery store in an Asian neighborhood.

[marions ghost]

21. Was told this by my Chinese acupuncturist

--sorry if it conflicts with your worldview.

I'll stick with the advice to beware of too much unfermented soy (and GMO soy, which is in so many products). And Asians do not eat soy fiber, which is in a lot of food products in America.

Let people do their own research.

I'm just saying--all soy may not be good for you.

[LeftyMom]

23. I don't care who told you, they were demonstrably wrong.

[marions ghost]

25. OK but you haven't demonstrated it to me

and my acupuncturist has demonstrated that I should give her much credibility.

[flvegan]

10. LOL!

I has internets!

[Jesus Malverde]

12. I guess you do...

[flvegan]

13. Guess you missed the intent of the post.

I'm wearing my *shocked* face now.

[Jesus Malverde]

14. Me too....lulz

[LeftyMom]

16. You're just cranky because your soytitties make you irritable and feminized.

[Jesus Malverde]

20. soytitties

11. Folks, you need to re-think what this means.

Worldwide, about six percent of soybeans are grown for human consumption. And it's very easy for me to go into the store and find non-GMO/ organic tofu.

Most soy is grown for oil and animal feed. You're going to want to start testing the animals you eat to find out if "Roundup" is accumulating in animal tissue. Scary stuff.

[DebJ]

17. My body rejected soy products from the very beginning,

in baby formula, way before GMOs. Just can't handle it at all.

[tofuandbeer]

18. Eeek!!!! Thanks for this!

[Recursion]

19. Unfortunately non-GMO soy essentially is not grown or sold in the US

There are a very few farmers who do it. Soy needs very high acreage to be profitable, so you mostly only see the company farms growing it anymore.

[marions ghost]

22. I'd agree that

it is hard to find any organic non-GMO soy. You have to look hard for it, and pay.

[LeftyMom]

24. Depends on what you mean.

Yes, soy production is overwhelmingly GMO, but most of that is animal feed and in processed conventional food. The stuff that winds up in soy milk, veggie burgers and tofu, etc, is largely non-GMO and organic. Those items are very easy to find- every grocery store carries them.

27. White Wave changed from organic to "natural" (?) back in 2009 for Silk and Horizon brands

which have the biggest presence in supermarkets. White Wave is the company that owns Land O Lakes brand, among many other brands.

White Wave recently bought Earthbound Farms (for $600 mil).

28. Hope you are right,

because as a vegetarian, I eat lots of Morningstar products, soy milk, etc.

[KurtNYC]

26. The study linked in OP used 10 samples of conventional and 11 samples of organics ALL grown in Iowa

Also 10 samples of GMs so clearly this is a range of options.

There is a good market for non-GMO soy here and many farmers choose to grow it. Among the major clients for non-GMO soys are Chipotle and Whole Foods Markets:

The tofu—made from soybeans that contain no genetically modified organisms—now accounts for about 3 percent of sales at (Chipotle) restaurants that serve them. The item comes from a product developed for Chipotle’s Asian concept, ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen, reported Nation’s Restaurant News. While Sofritas cater to vegan and vegetarian diners, about half of sales go to meat eaters simply looking for a meatless meal.
