9. Soy milk
Almost all of the soybean crops in the US and Canada are genetically modified to withstand tons of pesticide spraying without dying.
And since soy milk is not as pleasant as companies would have us believe, manufacturers have to load it with artificial flavors and sweeteners.
Soy also contains isoflavones, which is a compound similar to the hormone estrogen. Erin Coleman, R.D., L.D., says that “large amounts of soy have the potential to alter menstrual cycles and sex hormones in women, stimulate breast cancer cells and increase a woman’s risk for developing uterine cancer”.
The truth is, since soy milk is such a relatively new concept, we just don’t have enough long term research to vouch for its safety.
