First, Japan rejects GMO pharming, all our soy is GMO and has foreign DNA in it from other animals, plants, and soil bacterium. Second, the Japanese eat on average 13 gram’s of Iodine per day, the US RDA is 150 mcg (that’s Micrograms), they also do many other healthy things like eat seafood regulary and so on, their diet is not pre-packaged garbage for the most part. The Iodine definitely counters the damage the soy would do the endoctrine system. By and large, American’s are a walking disease waiting to die a needless death ...

Sorry, I meant 13 mg (milligrams) whereas we get less that 150 mcg (most get absolutey zero iodine a day)

First, Japanese rejection of any genetically modified food is a form of protectionism. If you understand anything about the Japanese food industry (and I assure you that am intimately familiar with both the Japanese diet and their food production industry) you know that they protect their domestic producers by any means necessary. Just like in Europe, the fear of GM products is based purely on politics and has nothing to do with science.

Now you're trying to explain away the foolishness about soy from your previous post by pleading with us to believe that iodine consumption counters the damage that soy consumption wreaks on our physiology. Good luck with that. The Okinawans live longer healthier lives than anyone else on the planet while consuming more soy, per-capita, than any other people on the planet. So much for soy being "crap", "garbage" and "poison", although those first two descriptors aptly reflect your understanding of the subject.
