Some 22 year old males currently have the testosterone levels of an 85 year old male. Testosterone levels have steadily been dropping 1% annually, that's the real threat to mankind nobody's addressing.

Thank you Dr. Berg for bringing to our attention what causes pain in the area of our liver. Too many fake things that are in our foods are causing damage to our bodies and are often passed off as healthy.
When I first became vegetarian, I ate all the manufactured vegetable burgers and such thinking it was healthy, and after 5 years of eating that way, came down with constant horrible stomach pains that no doctor could diagnose. I even had an exploratory surgery which turned up no explanation. I gave up all the artifical vegetarian foods and try to eat organic whole foods only and no more stomach problems. I don't have a perfect diet by any means but I am done with that processed "food" because I'm sure that was what made me so sick. Thank you for pointing out this soy isolate as something to avoid and thank for all invaluable information on every video
I'm an intuitive eater, I focus on how my body feels after consuming something. I don't feel any negative effects from taking optimum nutrition whey protein. If I could, I would just get all my protein from whole foods, but I have protein powder on the side for convenience.
YES! Even when my grandma was going through mastectomy 25 years ago she warned me to avoid any soy-based products except fermented, and told us to check ingredients as most packaged items contain it, and to avoid eating out ...she was right! I didn't think at the time to ask for her source, but it could've been Dr. McDougall. I recently watched his similar video "the dangers of soy products"...a great compliment to Dr. Berg's.

In my country, we dont use GMO soys. All soy protein isolate is made with non-GMO soys. I have been drinking soy milk for more than 10years and soy protein isolate for more than a year on a regular basis and i have never felt more womanly or having any pain or indigestion issues. Soy protein isolate is also naturally rich in bioflavonoids which whey or casein powder are missing. It aids in preventing cardiovascular disease or brain degenerative disease. In China and japan people have been drinking soy milk for thousands of years without any report of man turning more womanly due to controversial “estrogen” effect. As for anti-nutrient phytic acid, asians had already developed many different fermentation techniques to remove that ages ago. Phytoestrogen and phytic acid is a naturally occurring compound in most grain and plant products to prevent insects and animals from eating them. Flax seed and brown rice are some example of that and it had way more phytic acid content compared to soy but nobody seems to mention about them when consuming somehow.
Thank you for the information! I am following your blog and appreciate all the important information! One thing you mentioned about tofu in the blog. I as a Japanese want to confirm tofu is not fermented, and there is no process involving bacteria.
In 2015, I was losing weight steadily and I switched from regular low fat milk to soy milk. In a span of three months, I gained 30 pounds. Every month I was gaining 10 pds and I couldn't figure out why. When I was younger my family drank soy milk and it didn't seem to bother us. After doing my own research I found out that soy adversely affects the thyroid gland and I have been hypoglycemic for years. Yes, I stopped using soy products but so am just starting to shed the 30 pounds I gained.
I remember when I was a child that farmers started really big into growing soybeans and it went into our national food supply. I started gaining weight and had trouble with it much of the time, ever since. It's like there's not much hope to get rid of that soy. (Which just sounds gross -soy -bleah!)
Hi thank you for the video. Just curious, my husband is vegetarian and he does consume a lot of soy meat. So we all sometimes eat those as well. Recently he had to undergo surgery to remove polyps from his colon and he has acid reflux and an ulcer in the throat. Does soy protein play a part in any of these or is there a link?
ive heard out of all the milks that full fat milk is the best, i get the lactose free which has less sugar even though dairy never upsets my stomach. high fat low carb has done wonders for me which is what keto is.
If soy were to significantly decrease testostoene, one might expect to observe a difference between a Japanese man in Japan, where soy consumption is 50 to 60 times higher, and a Japanese-American man in the US. However, such a difference is not observed.
Right, but there's real evidence that if you eat over 400g of soy isolate based products (tofu, tempe, etc) youll be in trouble, the estrogen is real. So assuming you are eating a block of tofu, in order for you to reach the estrogen side effect, youll have to eat 5 big blocks per day. Now one 100g block is made around 50-80g soy isolate. Therefore, tho the Japanese eat soy products everyday but.. The research shows that they have never exceeded the daily limited amount which is roughly 150mg. Eat with caution with you are a gym rat, needing protein at most, you should really incorporate the other seed, but protein sources.
@@themeowinn4164 I agree. As I mentioned, the average Japanese consume 50-60 times more soy products than average Americans, but that doesn't seem to exceed a problematic level. So, I often wonder, why are Americans so worried about eating such a little amount of soy product.
Truly appreciate your valuable videos. Wish I was aware of this earlier, as just a month back I started eating nature Valley Protein bars on a daily basis without knowing the consequences of over eating soy isolate. Now my hormones have messed up and up to the clinic for treatment. True alert for those who are consuming protein bars with this ingredient.
I had my pancreas and thyroid swallen. I thought “why” ...I’m not in stress,never had health issues like that. Stopped using soy chocolate-protein for a week/as I loved it every day as dessert,, and it stopped. I love sweet, so I started eating it again. Guess what,,, all neck swallen again. Stopped using it for good now
I am a female in my mid 70es, on a plant based diet for health reasons, and I do use soy all the time in the form of tofu, edamame, tempeh and soy milk, but I only buy organic non GMO soy products. Soy is not bad for you, it is getting a bad rap for some reason, it helps older women with bone health and it is an excellent source of protein for vegans and vegetarians alike. I don’t think that people in Japan, Korea, China and other asian countries would eat soy on a regular basis if soy was bad for you, they all would be sick if that was the case! The Japanese language has no word for menopause, it doesn’t exist because of the high consumption of soy products there that protects women from hot flashes and other menopause symptoms that women in the western world experience. Soy also protects women’s hearts in particular. I am talking about soy products here that are made out of whole soy beans and not soy isolate which is not good for you and Whey Isolate is not healthy either, people need to realize that all this pre-made ready to eat genetically engineered garbage is loaded with tons of fats and other junk. Take the time and prepare your meals from scratch with whole foods that are actually good for your body, it will make a huge difference, it’s not that hard or time consuming as people think! I am on no meds which is unusual for my age and I contribute that to my way of eating and I do still exercise and stay active.
Since I have started following you, I have learnt so much, from sugar to seed oils and everything in between. I like many didn't realise how toxic these are to the body. Thank you for all your putting out there.
I was taking "Rebuilt Mass XP" "Hyper Anabolic Mass Gainer" from GNC when I first noticed pain in my ride side about 7 years ago. It has been off and on since then, lately more on than off unfortunately. Now I probably know what it is from..
I swapped from cow milk and started drinking soya milk, months after I was constantly in agony, I couldn't figure out why. I thought I had IBS. My pain was excruciating and being in meetings was so embarrassing. 2 years ago I switched to Almond milk. Out of the sudden all my symptoms went. Never again will try anything with soya, soy or whatever. I am pain free and have finally lost weight.
Yes! Right on the money Dr. Berg!! I had no idea for a couple years every once in awhile there was soy in the vegetarian and vegan things I was eating and even minute quantities of soy would make me very sick. It would give me sensitive skin and my face would swell for a couple days afterward and I noticed I would feel lethargic with abdominal discomfort and nipples swelling unusually for me being quite active it made me uncomfortable with my body. I didn't understand why that was happening until my nutritionists performed nutrition response muscle testing on me and found out that soy was a stressor for me. Now it's been a year without soy and I feel like my body is back to normal healthy functioning!
I had breast cancer back in 2002 and they couldn't find the exact reason BUT a friend who was/is an RN suggested to me during that time to stay away from Soy and I have every since then.
I have been using 100% whey protein isolate after working out in the gym for a few years. There was nothing bad happened. Recently someone introduced soy protein isolate because they said it can reduce visceral fats around the belly. I tried and after three days i have breakouts on my shoulders and some kinda rashes all over by body. It is not entirely like acnes but some discomfort on the skin surface as if the skin was being rubbed harshly.
@@rjpoetry3319 Not Really i can digest soy pretty well, even the GMO soy bean, but soy protein isolate is the worst. For vegans, pea protein is the best protein supplement, it is not complete protein but still anyday preferable over soy

As a doctor, I'm eating soy protein isolate every day for last month. It was hard to believe, but I cannot mention any negative effect, I lost 5 kg and feel much better, than before. Disclaimer: I'm theology doctor at my local Pastafarian church. Don't trust random (or not so random) people, better check Wiki and other more or less reliable sources.
You must have a super sensitive liver/body to feel liver pain Eric. I can't recall ever feeling my liver do anything. Maybe that's a good thing? I wondered about eating organic soy products....would they have a similar amount of estrogen and what is the mechanism of absorption/uptake? Thank you greatly for all that you give : )
@@Drberg Hi. Whey protein is not good for cancer patient? I think Dr.Berg said that whey protein spikes Insulin but no blood suger changes, does this mean whey protein won't be cancer cells fuel? or spiking insulin could be their fuel? Thanks.
Dr. Berg, I would like you to use a higher contrast markers or bolder size (fatter marker) for your white board... it's hard to see for some of us. Thanks.
I've been eating soy for so many years now. My testosterone levels are fine, thank you. And I believe you're paid well by meat and dairy industries to rail against plant based industries?!

Wow. You are a blessing. Back in the 70s-80s, we heard a lot of good things about soy, so we bought the soy meats. I don’t believe, we did so for a long time. For some reason, we just got away from it. Thank God.
Becareful for what he said. 1) he said most bean(95%) are GMO and have glyphosate that half true when this video release and have very less law to control it however after 2018 there are many law to control glyphosate and now it's banned from my country and might be banned from your country too and even the soy protein isolate is from glyphosate bean it still very hard that glyphosate will contaminate in it cause the process to make the protein powder gonna cut glyphosate away 2) He said soy protein isolate is hard to digest cause it's not fermented yet it's half true either for me to make protein lsolate the protein have to face lot of heat that can denature the protein also it's like emulsion already when you drink that make it more surface to face enzyme so it might hard to digest compare to tofu but compare to meat or milk it even eazier to digest
Thank you Dr. Berg! Your videos have helped me make better food choices. I already cook paleo for my Husband so it's a matter of cracking down on myself to make that complete transition. I also love your your recipe videos.
Dr. Berg changed my life - went through a couple years of chronic fatigue that I thought was due to my very mild Thalassemia-minor anemia, or worse yet some other yet-undiscovered serious illness. After switching to a lower-carb diet, cutting out sugar, processed food & simple carbs, my fatigue & has basically disappeared in a matter of months, I'm finding that a lot of my health issues were actually caused by Insulin Resistance (diabetes runs in my family) & chronic inflammation.
That's fantastic! If you’ve benefited from Dr. Berg’s program or content in any way, we’d love to hear your success story! If you would like to share it, please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Dr. Berg, not sure if you have a video on this, but if not, I’m really curious about the benefits vs. the side effects of whey protein powder and collagen powder. How are they alike and different? Did you ever recommend that your patients (past) incorporate either into their diets? Are there any detrimental effects of either, to be concerned about? What are your thoughts? Do you or your family members use either? How do you incorporate them into your diet and what have you noticed? Do you have a recommended brand?
I guessed it :-) I am vegan and I definitely don't have any isolate soy protein (or vegan junk food). Dr Mcdougall said that this stuff actually raises the IGF-1 much more than milk or other animal products does. IGF-1 is a growth hormone and as we get older, these levels generally need to come down to prevent cancer from growing. Generally a vegan diet lowers these levels the most. However, if somebody has isolate soy protein, then their levels will be high. Tofu, miso, and tempeh or fine, but this stuff definitely is bad. thanks Dr. Berg you are awesome!
I had to give up dairy (not eggs) due to a virus that left me void of the bacteria needed to digest lactose. I started pea/soy protein and had similar issues. Now on beef isolate and no issues at all and my hair, nails and skin are excellent!
I agree with the others here--can you tell us what the best protein powder is? I just checked the protein powder I'm currently using and it is, sadly, Soy Protein Isolate. I need to buy more so I need an alternative.
Dr. Berg changed my health too, thank you Dr. Berg! May I just clarify that tofu isn't made from fermented soybean, in other words, there is no fermentation involved in the process of making tofu. I had been eating tofu all my life, I used to enjoy it so much and so did my whole family and kids. At the same time, we couldn't understand why despite eating heavily plant products, whole foods cooked from scratch but our health was so poor?!. We haven't eaten tofu for several years , it was so hard to give it up!!!, but now eating mostly animal products, eggs, dairy, some plants. We haven't been sick for several years. I am all for keto animal based way of eating, and no tofu or soy and no longer crave them.
No one is beating soy product except a tiny bit of soy sauce bc it's too good but soy crops are absolutely covered with herbicides, pesticides and they also have a lot of estrogen. Soy is not good for people in general.
❤❤❤❤❤👍 My friend had gout and I told him about your channel and he says he has listened to all your talks. He no longer has gout after dietary changes.
I mean soy doesn't naturally come "isolate" I thin it's easy for them to process and manufacture. It's not the soy itself as Japan and other countries eat whole soy with veggies etc n they are fine, but we in US always cheapen and "productize" the nutrient.
Oh thank goodness he didn't say Pea Protein because I nearly spat out my Pea Protein just then. I think I'm allergic to soy so when I stopped consuming anything soy, I felt better.
What I like about your videos is that everything is linked. Disease does not work in isolation. And only when you’re willing to hear the truth can you make educated decisions about what you put in your body.
Truth. Soy isolate protein powders (and whey powders) initiated and caused deep cystic acne on my face. I took it for years and never made the connection to soy protein isolates and my health or the onset of my horrific battle with deep cystic acne. I was aged 35 so I was really confused about this adult acne which I never experienced before, not even as a teenager. I went to dermatologist, took all of the prescriptions, all of the expensive Rx creams, nothing really cleared it. Once I stopped the protein powders, it took 3 months to get all of the soy isolates out of my system, and my skin cleared up in 3-4 months. Never ever had a single cyst or acne ever since. That was 10 years ago, not a single pimple since. Thank you Dr Berg for sharing truths.

The statistic he used is very misleading, 95% of soya may be GMO, but 80% of soya is livestock feed. The non-GMO soya is for human consumption, making the ratio 75% non gmo to 25% gmo when it comes to human food
The problem is so many whey protein contains soy, and you're right i tried some soy based whey protein it makes me tired and mood swing it messes with your hormone

Hi thank you for the video. Just curious, my husband is vegetarian and he does consume a lot of soy meat. So we all sometimes eat those as well. Recently he had to undergo surgery to remove polyps from his colon and he has acid reflux and an ulcer in the throat. Does soy protein play a part in any of these or is there a link?
ive heard out of all the milks that full fat milk is the best, i get the lactose free which has less sugar even though dairy never upsets my stomach. high fat low carb has done wonders for me which is what keto is.
If soy were to significantly decrease testostoene, one might expect to observe a difference between a Japanese man in Japan, where soy consumption is 50 to 60 times higher, and a Japanese-American man in the US. However, such a difference is not observed.
Right, but there's real evidence that if you eat over 400g of soy isolate based products (tofu, tempe, etc) youll be in trouble, the estrogen is real. So assuming you are eating a block of tofu, in order for you to reach the estrogen side effect, youll have to eat 5 big blocks per day. Now one 100g block is made around 50-80g soy isolate. Therefore, tho the Japanese eat soy products everyday but.. The research shows that they have never exceeded the daily limited amount which is roughly 150mg. Eat with caution with you are a gym rat, needing protein at most, you should really incorporate the other seed, but protein sources.
@@themeowinn4164 I agree.
As I mentioned, the average Japanese consume 50-60 times more soy products than average Americans, but that doesn't seem to exceed a problematic level. So, I often wonder, why are Americans so worried about eating such a little amount of soy product.
No shitty intros. Straight to the point talk
I LIKE IT DOC 😉
Truly appreciate your valuable videos. Wish I was aware of this earlier, as just a month back I started eating nature Valley Protein bars on a daily basis without knowing the consequences of over eating soy isolate. Now my hormones have messed up and up to the clinic for treatment. True alert for those who are consuming protein bars with this ingredient.
Eat real food damned
you can get liver symptoms after only one meal of soy isolete? the same day?
sounds pretty farfetched...
I had my pancreas and thyroid swallen. I thought “why” ...I’m not in stress,never had health issues like that. Stopped using soy chocolate-protein for a week/as I loved it every day as dessert,, and it stopped. I love sweet, so I started eating it again. Guess what,,, all neck swallen again. Stopped using it for good now
Try blending a frozen banana and cocoa nibs for a healthy ice cream.
I am a female in my mid 70es, on a plant based diet for health reasons, and I do use soy all the time in the form of tofu, edamame, tempeh and soy milk, but I only buy organic non GMO soy products. Soy is not bad for you, it is getting a bad rap for some reason, it helps older women with bone health and it is an excellent source of protein for vegans and vegetarians alike. I don’t think that people in Japan, Korea, China and other asian countries would eat soy on a regular basis if soy was bad for you, they all would be sick if that was the case! The Japanese language has no word for menopause, it doesn’t exist because of the high consumption of soy products there that protects women from hot flashes and other menopause symptoms that women in the western world experience. Soy also protects women’s hearts in particular. I am talking about soy products here that are made out of whole soy beans and not soy isolate which is not good for you and Whey Isolate is not healthy either, people need to realize that all this pre-made ready to eat genetically engineered garbage is loaded with tons of fats and other junk. Take the time and prepare your meals from scratch with whole foods that are actually good for your body, it will make a huge difference, it’s not that hard or time consuming as people think! I am on no meds which is unusual for my age and I contribute that to my way of eating and I do still exercise and stay active.
Hello Doctor, I find no video of yours on whey protein..! Please make one & guide your followers. Please. Thank you..!
Since I have started following you, I have learnt so much, from sugar to seed oils and everything in between. I like many didn't realise how toxic these are to the body. Thank you for all your putting out there.
thank u sir for all that u do!! much appreciated..
Wow 👌 salute to doctors those who aware people with the truth without any greed.
I was taking "Rebuilt Mass XP" "Hyper Anabolic Mass Gainer" from GNC when I first noticed pain in my ride side about 7 years ago. It has been off and on since then, lately more on than off unfortunately. Now I probably know what it is from..
I swapped from cow milk and started drinking soya milk, months after I was constantly in agony, I couldn't figure out why. I thought I had IBS. My pain was excruciating and being in meetings was so embarrassing. 2 years ago I switched to Almond milk. Out of the sudden all my symptoms went. Never again will try anything with soya, soy or whatever. I am pain free and have finally lost weight.
If something is bad for you doesn't mean it's bad . Maybe you are allergic
Yes! Right on the money Dr. Berg!!
I had no idea for a couple years every once in awhile there was soy in the vegetarian and vegan things I was eating and even minute quantities of soy would make me very sick. It would give me sensitive skin and my face would swell for a couple days afterward and I noticed I would feel lethargic with abdominal discomfort and nipples swelling unusually for me being quite active it made me uncomfortable with my body. I didn't understand why that was happening until my nutritionists performed nutrition response muscle testing on me and found out that soy was a stressor for me. Now it's been a year without soy and I feel like my body is back to normal healthy functioning!
Conventionally grown soy and organic soy or is it just glyphosate
I had breast cancer back in 2002 and they couldn't find the exact reason BUT a friend who was/is an RN suggested to me during that time to stay away from Soy and I have every since then.
I have been using 100% whey protein isolate after working out in the gym for a few years. There was nothing bad happened. Recently someone introduced soy protein isolate because they said it can reduce visceral fats around the belly. I tried and after three days i have breakouts on my shoulders and some kinda rashes all over by body. It is not entirely like acnes but some discomfort on the skin surface as if the skin was being rubbed harshly.
Directly Powdered soya beans is good?
Wow, imagine what your internal organs would have looked like? Yikes.
Sounds like you are allergic to soy.
Lemme guess it's from amway
@@rjpoetry3319 Not Really i can digest soy pretty well, even the GMO soy bean, but soy protein isolate is the worst. For vegans, pea protein is the best protein supplement, it is not complete protein but still anyday preferable over soy
So what is the best and safe protein powders (if any) out there?
can you do a video on pre-workout supplements and BCAA supplements.
I used to drink that. I had no clue!
Don’t be soy boy
All the information he said was false. 95 % of soy is gmo but that 95% of soy goes to FARM ANIMALS that meat eaters then eat. The other 5% of soy is used to make soy products like tofu or soy protein powders. He said soy raises your estrogen and there are MANY studies that show that is FALSE and soy even has a positive effect on those fighting breast cancer. He also said tofu is fermented and tofu is NOT fermented tempeh Is.
Hi, thanks for the video. I am wondering if it is possible for you to make a video regarding the best protein powder
As a doctor, I'm eating soy protein isolate every day for last month. It was hard to believe, but I cannot mention any negative effect, I lost 5 kg and feel much better, than before.
Disclaimer: I'm theology doctor at my local Pastafarian church. Don't trust random (or not so random) people, better check Wiki and other more or less reliable sources.
You must have a super sensitive liver/body to feel liver pain Eric. I can't recall ever feeling my liver do anything. Maybe that's a good thing? I wondered about eating organic soy products....would they have a similar amount of estrogen and what is the mechanism of absorption/uptake? Thank you greatly for all that you give : )
Is yr body already overwhelmed by toxins
Dr. Berg, could you do a video on which protein powders are safe?? For those of us who regularly work out, we sometimes need a protein shake
Hello. We will add this to our video suggestion list. Thanks.

@@Drberg Hi.
Whey protein is not good for cancer patient?
I think Dr.Berg said that whey protein spikes Insulin but no blood suger changes, does this mean whey protein won't be cancer cells fuel? or spiking insulin could be their fuel?
Thanks.
What a great human you are Dr. Berg! Thank you for helping us all
I will never stop following this Doctor !!!!
The story about the chicken bites had me laughing pretty good here 😂
I just started and lost 52 pounds and have done it for within 1-3 months striving to follow it 100%☝🏽😁
Dr. Berg, I would like you to use a higher contrast markers or bolder size (fatter marker) for your white board... it's hard to see for some of us. Thanks.
Dr. Berg, Your information is Rockn'Roll... Thank you! Good Health to You!!!
Thanks doc for new information, u r always so helpful😊💐
I guess this is where the term soy boy originated, interesting.
I've been eating soy for so many years now. My testosterone levels are fine, thank you.
And I believe you're paid well by meat and dairy industries to rail against plant based industries?!
How u doing girl?
Love silk unsweetened soy milk low in sugar high in protein.
Dr. Berg, can you do a review on ritual protein powder or speak about the quality? I have high blood pressure and want to incorporate this into my diet
Thanks! 😊
damn some affiliates are not going to be happy with this one. its like every fitness youtuber has a link to their magic powder of choice.
Fitness people don't know what their talking about besides looking good.
most of those protein powders are whey based so it does not apply to this video's point.

@@mizz308
Then how did the popular (and accurate imo) term, "soyboy" become so prevalent in society?
And the magic powder for losing weight is.............COCAINE.3 x scoops a day for best results.......caution may result in addiction...
Wow. You are a blessing. Back in the 70s-80s, we heard a lot of good things about soy, so we bought the soy meats. I don’t believe, we did so for a long time. For some reason, we just got away from it. Thank God.
Becareful for what he said.
1) he said most bean(95%) are GMO and have glyphosate that half true when this video release and have very less law to control it however after 2018 there are many law to control glyphosate and now it's banned from my country and might be banned from your country too
and even the soy protein isolate is from glyphosate bean it still very hard that glyphosate will contaminate in it cause the process to make the protein powder gonna cut glyphosate away
2) He said soy protein isolate is hard to digest cause it's not fermented yet it's half true either for me to make protein lsolate the protein have to face lot of heat that can denature the protein also it's like emulsion already when you drink that make it more surface to face enzyme so it might hard to digest compare to tofu but compare to meat or milk it even eazier to digest
Thank you Dr. Berg! Your videos have helped me make better food choices. I already cook paleo for my Husband so it's a matter of cracking down on myself to make that complete transition. I also love your your recipe videos.
Dr. Berg changed my life - went through a couple years of chronic fatigue that I thought was due to my very mild Thalassemia-minor anemia, or worse yet some other yet-undiscovered serious illness. After switching to a lower-carb diet, cutting out sugar, processed food & simple carbs, my fatigue & has basically disappeared in a matter of months, I'm finding that a lot of my health issues were actually caused by Insulin Resistance (diabetes runs in my family) & chronic inflammation.

Dr. Berg, not sure if you have a video on this, but if not, I’m really curious about the benefits vs. the side effects of whey protein powder and collagen powder. How are they alike and different? Did you ever recommend that your patients (past) incorporate either into their diets? Are there any detrimental effects of either, to be concerned about? What are your thoughts? Do you or your family members use either? How do you incorporate them into your diet and what have you noticed? Do you have a recommended brand?
Love him! Whenever I hear him it feels like I am watching my gastroenterologist talking-similar voice n similar look. N he gives great information ♥️
I guessed it :-) I am vegan and I definitely don't have any isolate soy protein (or vegan junk food). Dr Mcdougall said that this stuff actually raises the IGF-1 much more than milk or other animal products does. IGF-1 is a growth hormone and as we get older, these levels generally need to come down to prevent cancer from growing. Generally a vegan diet lowers these levels the most. However, if somebody has isolate soy protein, then their levels will be high.
Tofu, miso, and tempeh or fine, but this stuff definitely is bad.
thanks Dr. Berg you are awesome!
I had to give up dairy (not eggs) due to a virus that left me void of the bacteria needed to digest lactose. I started pea/soy protein and had similar issues. Now on beef isolate and no issues at all and my hair, nails and skin are excellent!
Hi, just bought some pea/soy protein.... What are you using? I really need my hair as well to improve
@@eloisiacasillo9045 Beef Isolate. But be sure to find a reputable brand with quality ingredients.
I agree with the others here--can you tell us what the best protein powder is? I just checked the protein powder I'm currently using and it is, sadly, Soy Protein Isolate. I need to buy more so I need an alternative.
Soya in the protien bars, 20g P main incrediant Soya - didnt notice it was in a hurry shopping, they were on sale, now in the trash. Nasty stuff.
Dr. Berg changed my health too, thank you Dr. Berg! May I just clarify that tofu isn't made from fermented soybean, in other words, there is no fermentation involved in the process of making tofu. I had been eating tofu all my life, I used to enjoy it so much and so did my whole family and kids. At the same time, we couldn't understand why despite eating heavily plant products, whole foods cooked from scratch but our health was so poor?!. We haven't eaten tofu for several years , it was so hard to give it up!!!, but now eating mostly animal products, eggs, dairy, some plants. We haven't been sick for several years. I am all for keto animal based way of eating, and no tofu or soy and no longer crave them.
As soon as I have a question I type it in RUclips and dr very pops up. Kudos to this man, a hero to us all 🦾
Dr. Berg can you make an updated video on protein shakes. Do you recommend any shakes
So which protein powder do you recommend for keto?
You would think beef or whole egg.
No one is beating soy product except a tiny bit of soy sauce bc it's too good but soy crops are absolutely covered with herbicides, pesticides and they also have a lot of estrogen. Soy is not good for people in general.
thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤👍 My friend had gout and I told him about your channel and he says he has listened to all your talks. He no longer has gout after dietary changes.
I bet 🙄
Too bad that the WheyCows eat GMO-Soy😂😂
😂😅
Biden loves GMO
I mean soy doesn't naturally come "isolate" I thin it's easy for them to process and manufacture. It's not the soy itself as Japan and other countries eat whole soy with veggies etc n they are fine, but we in US always cheapen and "productize" the nutrient.
Thanks for clearing up. Maybe the basic foundation of this is "eat the real food not the artificial" since most of them is manufactured nowadays...
Thats good to know come to think of it its in a lot of health food bars
Oh thank goodness he didn't say Pea Protein because I nearly spat out my Pea Protein just then. I think I'm allergic to soy so when I stopped consuming anything soy, I felt better.
Soy is also one of the largest subsidized products in agriculture. We do not need soy to be healthy.
Do you have proof of your claims or sources you can cite or did you conclude based on personal experience?
Nam Thai i’ve read bunch of websites, that soy protein is the worst protein you can eat, with that said i believe this guy...
I agree with you
Nam Thai Nigga! Hes a fucken doctor 🙄
Nam ... Most soy is GMO .... so sad ! you can verify this info from many reliable sources
GMO isn't bad though 🙄
Great video, thanks Doc.💪
how the hell does Mercola have a verified account, but you don't? RUclips makes no damn sense
Mine was -not sure what happened - it is weird
Eric Berg dr berg i want to see you please be my physician 😭😭😭😭
I am speaking with Joyce she is lovely but i want to see you 🙏🏼

What I like about your videos is that everything is linked. Disease does not work in isolation. And only when you’re willing to hear the truth can you make educated decisions about what you put in your body.
Thank you, Dr Berg! Another essential video warning us to choose what we put in our mouths very carefully.
Truth. Soy isolate protein powders (and whey powders) initiated and caused deep cystic acne on my face. I took it for years and never made the connection to soy protein isolates and my health or the onset of my horrific battle with deep cystic acne. I was aged 35 so I was really confused about this adult acne which I never experienced before, not even as a teenager. I went to dermatologist, took all of the prescriptions, all of the expensive Rx creams, nothing really cleared it. Once I stopped the protein powders, it took 3 months to get all of the soy isolates out of my system, and my skin cleared up in 3-4 months. Never ever had a single cyst or acne ever since. That was 10 years ago, not a single pimple since. Thank you Dr Berg for sharing truths.
you're amazin
Tofu is generally unfermented, unless specified, such as Turu.
So surprised tht nobody is saying how attractive the doc is?😍😂 oh and yeah his advice is great!😂😜

What protein bars would you recommend? Seems to be that a lot of the mainstream protein bars use soy protein isolate in their ingredients.
That’s probably because it’s the cheapest one to use.
The food company called "Field Roast" offer plant based sausages, burgers and etc. which have wheat protein isolate.
Organic soy is very good.
Everything that is naturally grown is very Good.
The statistic he used is very misleading, 95% of soya may be GMO, but 80% of soya is livestock feed. The non-GMO soya is for human consumption, making the ratio 75% non gmo to 25% gmo when it comes to human food
Go vegan❤️ I’ve never had stomach pains from soy. 🤷🏼♀️
The problem is so many whey protein contains soy, and you're right i tried some soy based whey protein it makes me tired and mood swing it messes with your hormone
Can you do a short video on the best protein? if someone had to consume
B S does pea protein spike insulin?
anything you eat will spike insulin. like once your mouth starts grinding it, insulin is spiking
Najavano P i would say Pea protein
Dr Berg says Whey spikes insulin the most.
@@kylee9734 well it produces enzymes
But anyway THEN the pancreas secretes the insulin
which protein shake would you recommend for women who want to lose fat and get lean ?
