Lastly, there is a fair amount of concern around genetically modified (GMO) soy products and the pesticides used to produce them; however, nearly every major food producer uses non-GMO soy for human consumption. The GMO crops are primarily fed to livestock (chickens, pigs, cattle) who will then be fed to humans. But if you’re still concerned, check the labels on your soy products to ensure they are made with non-GMO and/or organic soybeans.
So there it is! Unless you have a specific allergy or sensitivity to soy, there is no reason to avoid a food that not only doesn’t harm your health, but has countless benefits ranging from its jam packed nutrient profile to a reduction in cancer risk.
