Thank you for your reply to my comments. I believe you will find as many research articles as one wants to support any view.  In regards to the soy, let's look at the real world. If a consumer were to evaluate the package contents of a majority of re-combined foods (those most people eat) the "little bit of soy" theory is compounded exponentially.  This was my point to your company.  When the cancer and heart rates are climbing and the inclusion of these foods is not a deterrent then marketing must be the only answer for their inclusion.  Were Wysong only one of a handful of companies that people consumed I could set with your discussion.  Reality though, like what walks into my office, says that accumulated small effects repeated over a long time equate to a major problem up front.

My comment was that I don't believe that your company has a bad product, but that in face of the reality of manufactured foods being consumed, there is no benefit to the soy being included and it indeed adds to the accumulated exposure to the public.

A similar problem exists with flouride, and to a shorter extent with mercury.  Originally diluted into municipal water of Grand Rapids when 15% of the population used such water, the problem is now out of control and flourosis is now the problem since 85% use municipal water. Mercury as an anti-biotic was eliminated by the EPA as a bio-hazard, but the inclusion of small amounts into health products was so widespread that until public uprising began no one was removing it. Once again, a large population getting a small amount, and with mercury it took the Gulf War to identify it along with several other researches.

Hopefully you have taken the time to read this as you did with your reply I appreciate your direct response.  I will keep you posted on the response to the Un Cereal from our network of providers.

Respectfully,

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your thoughts.

We agree that small accumulated effects over time can have disastrous effects.  That has been our theme for over 25 years.  The question is - since, as you state, research can be cited to support any position - what incites those small effects?

(If there is anything that is certain regarding food, it is the vitiating and toxifying effect of heat on any food.  But nobody seems to care about that.)

Such uncertainty as to what is or is not healthy is the reason we strongly urge people to eat as much fresh, whole, natural food as possible and vary the diet.  The foods we produce are as near to that ideal as possible, and they too should be rotated.

We agree with your assessment of mercury and fluoride, but the toxicity of such isolated chemicals cannot be compared to properly processed whole soy. 

Any soy added to any of the Wysong products - or any other ingredient we use for that matter - is never added for marketing purposes.  Nutrition and health is our goal.  Whole soy exerts antioxidant, essential fatty acid, isoflavone and other functionalities to our foods or we would not use it.  When we find other ingredients that could perform this task better, we will discontinue it.

Again, thank you for your thoughtful communication.
