More than 5 million adults in the United States suffer from dementia, the Alzheimer's Association reports. Dementia is a serious public health problem that contributes to loss of work days, medication-related costs and stress on familial caregivers. Lifestyle factors can help reduce the risk of dementia in certain people. Additionally, soy protein may play a role in the development of dementia. Background Many cases of dementia are caused by the deposition of a certain type of plaque on the cells that make up your brain, MayoClinic.com reports. However, they report that poor blood flow to the brain -- often the result of a stroke -- causes dementia in certain people. Risk factors for dementia include old age, alcohol abuse, genetics and cardiovascular disease. Evidence Loughborough University's Eric Hogervorst, PhD., notes that several research studies have linked high soy intake with dementia and poor memory. In a research study published by Hogervorst and his colleagues in the May 2008 issue of the journal "Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders," it was discovered that tofu intake was associated with poor memory and dementia in a group of 700 older adults. Mechanisms Hogervorst notes that high levels of the hormone estrogen are tied to dementia. Soy protein is rich in compounds known as phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are estrogen-like compounds that are found in soy foods. A paper published in the April 2000 issue of the "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" states that estrogen interferes with brain pathways important for learning and memory. Soy may also contribute to dementia due to the presence of toxins in processed soy foods, Hogervorst adds. Considerations The connection between soy and dementia is not yet clear. For example, the "Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders" study found that intake of tepeh -- a soy-rich food -- was actually associated with improved memory, possibly due to its low concentration of phytoestrogens. As with all dietary changes, talk to your doctor before eliminating soy from your diet. Read more: www.livestrong.com/articl...d-dementia/#ixzz1vlGTBKib

I can't eat soy. I have too much estrogen.
Does anyone honestly believe that the global elites whose wealth and power depend on manipulation of the global chess board would leave something like the Presidency up to chance?
I am sort of surprised by this report because I have seen dementia in people who, their whole lives, would not touch soy or anything made from it. And, soy is a major condiment in Asia, especially China and Japan, and yet dementia is not particularly common there.
Unfortunately 100% of the soy raised in this country is GMO, and might very well be the cause. Nobody has a clue as to the damage that it could be causing any living organism, that consumes it.
... If a man has nothing that he is willing to die for, then he has nothing worth living for....
I read in a health newsletter I was getting long time ago that Soy Protein has anti-thyroid properties. That is one reason I do not eat things with soy protein in them. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
It is this GMO soy that is the major problem in this. I just plain will not eat it. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Soy is not for whites. It's what makes Asian males so effeminate because of all the estrogen in it.
I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
Exactly. Although technically only 85% of the Soy crop is GMO. However, due to cross pollinization the degree of contamination in organic and other non-GMO Soy is unacceptable. Also, per Dr. Russel Blaylock author of "Excito-Toxins - The Taste That Kills", Soy is a natural producer of excito-toxins which are chemicals that over stimulates nerve cells - to the point that they die. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), which is produced from Soy, is an excito-toxin and is used heavily in processed foods as an appetite stimulant so that people will want to consume more "product". Phony USDA Organic frequently includes Soy compounds which, because they derive from an organically grown source, are allowed in USDA Organic products (along with a growing list of chemicals such as NeoTame, which is a variant of Aspartame a.k.a. NutraSweet/AminoSweet, which I refer to as NutraDeath because of the long, and growing, list of negative side effects - you know minor things like, blindness, Kidney problems, Brain Tumors, and well, uh, DEATH). You nailed it on the head! ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
All of that older soy in Asia is not of the GMO variety. I see what you mean, though, about the estrogen and making the males effeminate. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
