Copyright Description Last week I talked about the health benefits of soy. This week, you’ll hear the potential downside. Monica Reinagel nutrition diva David, thanks for catching the FDA/USDA slip! Of course, you're right!. http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx?commentid=15265#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx?commentid=15265#Comments Thu, 01 Jan 2009 21:30:04 GMT David Arvelo nutrition diva Yet another comment: You mention on your podcast the term "GMO-free". This is a term mainly used in Europe and that has little significance in the US because of the way FDA regulates foods. I recommend you read the "Voluntary Labeling Indicating Whether Foods Have or Have Not Been Developed Using Bioengineering" at http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/biolabgu.html for a better understanding of the so-called "genetically modified foods". http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx?commentid=15158#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx?commentid=15158#Comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:32:36 GMT David Arvelo nutrition diva I just noticed too that you have a link to the FDA web site right here (see above) and the site still says it is from USDA. FDA is an agency under the Deparment of Health and Human Services, not the US Department of Agriculture. http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx?commentid=15157#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx?commentid=15157#Comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:26:28 GMT David Arvelo nutrition diva In your episode about soy, you stated that the USDA allowed some health claims on soy. This is incorrect because it is the US FDA, not the USDA, who has issued such claims. As a matter of fact, the FDA is the federal agency with the authority to issue health claims on foods and supplements. Please visit http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/tpsoypr2.html. I hope you correct this in your next podcast because misinformation or mistakes like this can diminish your credibility in general. Never underestimate the power of doubt. http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx?commentid=15156#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx?commentid=15156#Comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:24:06 GMT Thu, 01 Jan 2009 21:30:04 GMT http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/soy-pros-and-cons.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
