"Dear Christa,

My son just came out to me that he believes he is gay. He says he doesnt want to feel this way, but he cant help it. Of course as a parent, you are shocked and in complete disbelief. I am the kind of person who wants answers. We are moderately religious and this is very heart breaking to our family. After doing some research, I stumbled across this article about soy and a few others on the bad affects of soy as well. My son was fed soy formula exclusively when he was an infant up until he was one because of digestive problems with milk (recommended by our OLD pediatrician). I noticed strange things about my son when he was a toddler that I reported to our pediatrician at the time, which I knew from talking with other parents were not normal. Lack of erections (almost never), small penis size, etc. Every mother knows, that it is normal for a boy to have this during diaper changes, etc, yet my son almost never did. He also always had the man boobs which he is very self conscious about now.

We now have a second son (2 years old)

Is there a build-up of soy stored in the body? I'm wondering if my lethargy and thyroid problems resulted because I drank soy protein shakes religiously. I'd appreciate knowing if there is any way to detox or reverse the effects of soy?

"Hi Kris,
My wife is allergic to soy so we have noticed everything has soy in it, but I had no idea it was this bad. My question is why does the FDA allow this? Is it just about the money as usual? Are they just ignoring the problems associated with it just like Aspartame. Who can you complain to about the FDA? This is insane!

Thanks for the info."

"Dear Crista,

I love your post about soy and its dangers. I hope you keep warning people how toxic soy and soy byproducts are and tell them the truth - the whole truth and nothing but ... you get the picture! Our family gave up soy and soy milk a long time ago and now we are drinking almond and coconut milks, my boys love the great taste.

Stay Healthy!

Brava! Great job!
