A recent study attempting to extol the magical benefits of soy may have given people who are exposed to RF (that's just about everyone) cause to worry. In a recent study published in Journal of Thoracic Oncology cancer cells treated with the three major isoflavones of soy - genistein, daidzein, and glycitein - were more sensitive to radiation treatment than cells that were not.

Researchers led by Gilda Hillman, PhD, of Wayne State University in Detroit, treated human A549 non-small cell lung cancer c showed greater damage from the radiation, included DNA double-strand breaks. There was also an increase in gamma-H2AX foci, indicating increased DNA damage and an inhibition of repair mechanisms.

So, these soy isoflavones - which are readily available and absorbed when eating a diet containing soy - can make cells more sensitive to radiation therapy thus allowing the radiation to better destroy the DNA of targeted cells and better disrupt the natural repair system of that DNA. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I want you to focus for a moment on the word "target".

While the study is designed to illustrate the amazing qualities of these isoflavones when treating cancers with radiation therapy.. one can't help but wonder.. what is ingesting soy and exposure to random radiation from commercial sources like microwave ovens, cell phone, routers - or now from nuclear fallout - be doing to your DNA?

Lets look a little deeper for a moment.

Radiation is just another word for electromagnetic fields. The wavelength or frequency dictates the category - VHF and UHF fall into the Megahertz ranges. More modern radio frequency producing devices get up in the Gigahertz range.

The radiation frequency used to obliterate cancer is called Gamma Radiation or Gamma Rays. These frequencies oscillate at a rate of 10 Exahertz. These frequencies are produced from decaying radioactive materials. In comparison, a commercial router produces radiation in the 1.4 Gigahertz to 3.0 Gigahertz range and most modern cell phones produce radiation in the range of 1 Gigahertz and above. Exerhertz is One quintillion Hertz and Gigahertz is equal to one billion Hertz.

Ok.. so all of this for what you are asking?

If the selective and target pretreatment with these soy Isoflavones on cells - albeit cancer cells - can effectively make radiation do a better job at unraveling our DNA and making sure our bodies can't repair the broken DNA... what is consuming soy - and living in a world filled with radiation as we do today - doing to our DNA? Don't be fooled by the large difference in frequency wavelengths. We are adrift in a proverbial soup of radiation. Some we create as in electronic products and some is just incident upon us - seeping from the earth below, universe above - and - when combined can produce residual frequencies of radiation through a process called constructive interference.

My suggestion is this is yet another reason - and perhaps a more profound one - to avoid Soy completely.
