Changes to the soy policy – 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently considering its third soy policy since 2010. The most recent draft of the policy, which is open for public comment until June 30, 2015, proposes banning the use of all food and supplement products that contain genetically modified (GM) soy, unless soybeans are grown in a manner that prevents their consumption.

As a vegetarian, I have to admit I am shocked by this sudden change in soy policy (I blame the AMA). I was under the impression that the whole soy thing was a very mild medical trend that was going away, not coming back with a vengeance. True, the FDA has approved soy as GRAS, which means its not so bad. But what is the big deal? I think to really solve the soy problem, we need to look at it in a more holistic manner. Not just in the ‘food’ sense, but in the cultural and social aspects.

Last week, the U.S. Agriculture Department announced its next steps in the United States’ soybean policy. The USDA announced that the United States will no longer allow the export of soybeans to China, which has been a long standing dispute between the two countries. However, the good news is that the United States will continue to allow the trade of soybeans with other international markets.

In our food policy, we have made some modifications to our stance on soy. We’d want to explain why we made those modifications and why we did them.

Previously, we recommended that soy should be limited due to uncertainties about its effects on health. This was based on animal and test-tube studies (very weak evidence) suggesting potential harm. However, after doing a thorough review of the most recent and highest-quality human research, it seems that for most people, soy has neutral — and in some cases possibly beneficial — health effects (references here). One caveat is that people with hypothyroidism may need closer monitoring if they eat soy regularly.

Our goal at is to help individuals all around the world improve their health by making low carb eating easy. To that end, we base our stances on contentious topics on the most comprehensive and thorough research available. We understand that our members and readers rely on us to deliver accurate, up-to-date information, and we make every effort to do so.

We aim to provide nutrient-dense, low-carb protein alternatives to omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans alike. For vegans, getting enough high-quality protein may be difficult, particularly on a low-carb diet.

We’ve just begun incorporating soy in several of our vegan and vegetarian dishes since it’s a flexible and readily accessible source of plant protein. Choosing less processed or fermented forms of soy, such as edamame, tofu, tempeh, and natto, is similar to our suggestions for animal products.

Many soy products in the United States may include residues of glyphosate (Roundup), a controversial herbicide used on soy and other crops that needs further research. Fortunately, glyphosate is not included in organic or non-GMO soy products. Choose non-GMO tofu, tempeh, and natto if you wish to consume soy while avoiding glyphosate.

It’s possible that you don’t want to eat soy at all, which we fully understand. Our low-carb vegan meals with soy are simply offered as an option; if you’re not a vegan, there are plenty of other ways to obtain high-quality protein.

We hope you can see why we thought it was necessary to revise our policy on this subject, to ensure that we are evidence-based, and to make low carb easy for everyone who might benefit from it.

Thank you very much for your continued faith in and support of our work.

The dietary policy

The United States has a long history of soy production. Today, soy is the most widely-grown crop in the world, and it remains a critical ingredient in a number of food products, including milk, cheese, yogurt, and meat products. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the safety of these foods and other products containing soy. In 2001, the FDA enacted regulations that required producers and processors of these foods to disclose the amount of soy in their products. The policy was intended to help the public make informed choices about such foods, but some people have argued that it is unfair to require processors and producers to disclose soy content..
