The soymilk diet: A previously unknown etiology of acute pancreatitis

[helvella]

In an era of dairy-avoidance, and a plethora of non-dairy substitutes, consumption of soy-based products is widespread.

For anyone considering, or on, a diet including significant quantities of soymilk, this paper might be of relevance.

Although not strictly thyroid-related, it is the milk substitute issue which makes it relevant - for some.

Abstract

We present a case of daily, large ingestions of soymilk that likely led to acute pancreatitis. Soybean contains trypsin inhibitor that when ingested will reduce the activity of trypsin in the intestine. A decrease in intestinal proteolytic activity removes the negative feedback on the pancreatic acinar cells, leading to an inappropriate increase in intrapancreatic trypsin secretion. When trypsin activation exceeds the capacity of pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor, the subsequent cascade of events can lead to acute pancreatitis.

Keywords: Pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor; Pancreatitis; Soymilk; Trypsin inhibitor; Trypsinogen.

My worry is that the powers-that-be, in particular the billionaires, the food companies, and the pharma companies want us all to believe that we need to become vegan because of global warming. How many people will replace animal milk with soy milk or dairy cheese with some kind of soy cheese?

I wonder what happens to animals that are fed soya by humans. Do they all end up feeling dreadful? Or are they just not allowed to stay alive long enough to get sick?

My daughter since age one was brought up on soya formula (used to breast feed her and had to put myself on diet) soya yogurt and cream as she was severely allergic to dairy and very sensitive to many other food, like she did not have anaphylaxis reactions with those but she would be sick, vomiting, then would have "productive" asthma attacks and eczema (she could never eat chicken, beef, fish, shellfish, raw tomatoes, rice, green beans, peas, mushroom hazelnuts almonds... and more) she could only eat lamb courgette aubergine potatoes, cooked tomatoes, peeled apples, pears, and wheat to an extend. Those allergies stopped at age 10.

Anyway when she suffered from Grave disease at age 11 I was told it may have been triggered by all the soya she had. I have read there is a connection with thyroid disease and soya...

Whete do they grow this stuff/process it/transport it (think of the fertilizer/oil miles involved not to mention the low paid workers used to cultivate/harvest etc).

If something looks to be true it probably is.

Knew about Soya a long time one of the main reasons is that soya they try to mimic used in Asia/Oriental areas is there's is Fermented Soya and a more natural kind.

While the western worlds stuff is GMO'd non fermented cheap soya which is also "glyphosates treated" so is full of Phytoestrogens leading to an unnatural balance of Estrogens in Females and males =Cancers.

Adding glyphosates into it increases risks as in males creates inhibitors that damage Testosterone so there by lowering Fertility rate.

Soya is in so many things just look at ingredients Mothers Muck bread is one.

Cow Feed.Another one is Squeaky Pigs which they feed fish to as we used to give them Swill which they loved we used to make on the farm from veg off cuts meat and all sorts then boiled up but now say NO so have to give them nuts/cakes made from non Natural foods like Sand eels why Bacon don't taste or cook the same plus depletes Sand Eel stocks which deprive birds and fish of food

The other thing with soya is for us it's unnatural we don't process/absorb same way Asia areas do in similar way they can't deal with wheat like us.

But both are not great for us far better off with Rye and Oats

Thank you for that it is interesting to read about the connections it is so difficult even when trying a more natural approach it seems everything that disturbs the human equilibrium is bond to have some negative effects sometimes years later. I did try months back to take Phytosterol to lower my cholesterol that is slightly raised but my thyroid became inflamed as a result.

There is still so much we need to understand and what may be right for a population or race may not be right for an other.

My daughter had soya formula until age 5 on prescription to compensate for the unbalanced diet because of her allergies. It was such a difficult time had to spend ages reading labels when shopping even been thrown out of my local supermarket (Safeway at the time) as they accused me of shoplifting with no proof, why on earth was I spending so much time in the aisles a new (over zealous) security guard who told me my custom was not welcome, glad I was moving away from the area the week after so I could go shoplifting 😁 undetected LOL. Never had any problem after that mind but I made sure i would approach the security guard on duty asking for the special Bio food aisle and explaining my story...
