Many of you know we always recommend ensuring your fish oil doesn't have soy in the ingredients. Here's some of the science from a Facebook Fan Page: Just Eat Real Food
Been tempted by the hype around ViSalus Body By Vi™ Challenges & claims? Read this review FIRST:
"The first ingredient on the list is "Soy Protein Isolate" what might be wrong with Soy Protein Isolate? (MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A SEAT AND GET COMFORTABLE)
To some its great source of healthy protein...yet to me after years of quality research soy is a dangerous low quality protein source. Did you know that 91% of U.S Soy is genetically modified or engineered? A number of studies over the past decade have revealed that genetically engineered foods can pose serious risks to humans, domesticated animals, wildlife and the environment. Human health effects can include higher risks of toxicity, allergenicity, antibiotic resistance, immune-suppression and cancer. (Visalus claims their shake is NON GMO)
Also:
1) Raw soybeans contain a form of phytic acid that can block certain mineral absorption. (the vi shake is promoted as not being raw yet we don't really know do we?)
2) Soy contains isoflavones genistein and dadzein which can affect and inhibit thyroid peroxidase which is necessary for the
production of T3 and T4.
3) Soy can negatively affect estrogen levels in the body.
Sara Jo Poff Personal Nutrition Counselor & Wellness Educator states:
Of course, this information does not just apply to this brand of shakes. Most of the other nutrition shakes out there contain similar ingredients and pose similar risks. Shaklee, Herbalife, and Ensure are some additional shakes that contain soy protein. (Other shakes may not contain soy protein but often contain soybean oil.)
Here is a brief list of some of the additional symptoms and health problems related to soy consumption (Dr. Mercola's site) that are common:
Breast cancer
Brain damage
Infant abnormalities
Thyroid disorders
Kidney stones
Immune system impairment
Severe, potentially fatal food allergies
Impaired fertility
Danger during pregnancy and nursing
Sara Jo Poff Personal Nutrition Counselor & Wellness Educator states:
Soy contains natural toxins known as "anti-nutrients."
Soy foods contain anti-nutritional factors such as saponins, soyatoxin, phytates, protease inhibitors, oxalates, goitrogens and estrogens. Some of these factors interfere with the enzymes you need to digest protein. While a small amount of anti-nutrients would not likely cause a problem, the amount of soy that many Americans are now eating is extremely high.
Soy contains hemagglutinin.
Hemagglutinin is a clot-promoting substance that causes your red blood cells to clump together. These clumped cells are unable to properly absorb and distribute oxygen to your tissues.
Soy contains goitrogens
Goitrogens are substances that block the synthesis of thyroid hormones and interfere with iodine metabolism, thereby interfering with your thyroid function.
Soy contains phytates.
Phytates (phytic acid) bind to metal ions, preventing the absorption of certain minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc - all of which are co-factors for optimal biochemistry in your body. This is particularly problematic for vegetarians, because eating meat reduces the mineral-blocking effects of these phytates (so it is helpful-if you do eat soy-to also eat meat).
Even if Visalus and other soy-based products are not from genetically-modified soybeans, they still qualify as potential dangerous foods based on criteria above. Even organic soymilk, for instance, can cause permanent thyroid problems.

"Zinc Oxide-this shake contains this REALLY? I would not even put this on my skin let alone in my BODY. Yet it's in the ingredient list. read about what zinc oxide here: http://www.medicinenet.com/zinc_oxide-topical/article.htm"

Last week we told you about our Metabolism 101 seminar.
This seminar will focus on exactly what REALLY works for fat loss.
We've been doing a ton of testing, tracking, research and tweaking over the past year.
I would hope by now most of you know that running long distance does virtually NOTHING for fat loss.
That's just scratching the surface.
Did you know it only takes 10 minutes of high intensity work to stimulate the 'fat loss hormonal cascade'?
Anyways to wrap up this long email, we've got 20 spots open to this workshop. We're opening it up to the public for only a very limited time.
You can check out the limited details(no seriously, there's only a couple sentences haha) we currently have up and register below
