Beware of Veggie Burgers

Soy-based burgers aren’t necessarily better for your health than animal protein. Unfortunately, most soy grown is genetically modified. Soy also contains goitrogens, substances that interfere with iodine metabolism and the synthesis of thyroid hormones. This can disrupt your ‘mother’ hormone and cause weight gain, temperature intolerance, and lower sex drive and lead to insomnia. Soy also contains isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen, which can mimic and sometimes block estrogen. This can cause a hormone imbalance and disrupt a female menstruation cycle and negatively impact fertility.
