Soy Shoes ~ Increasing Risk of Breast Cancer? - Two Popular Brands Boast Sustainability by Using Soy Based Plastic Soles! But Is It SAFE??

Could my Oka-B flip-flops be the source of the excess estrogen pattern that showed up in my breast thermography last year?

Recently I purchased Oka-B sandals after an old pair bit the dust a year ago and my other pair could go any minute and did not want to be without.  Then I stumbled upon the shocking fact that Oka-B’s are made with soy! No mention of it being organic soy either, which means the likelihood of endocrine wrecking glyphosate (i.e., RoundUp - a known xenoestrogen) also being on board is virtually certain, and the presence of plant phytoestrogens were a given. So what, you ask?

Well, humans are the only mammals with sweat glands on the bottoms of their feet according to neurosurgeon, Dr. Jack Kruse.  Skin areas that sweat are more likely to be affected by EDC’s (endocrine disruptive chemicals) than non-sweating areas because the acidity of sweat assists in the breakdown of the EDC’s!  So one is getting a double whammy with soy plastics vs petroleum plastics it would appear.

Skechers, a popular sport shoe is also proud of its “sustainable” soy based plastic but does it sustain humans or sabotage them?

Maybe it’s time to go back to wearing Birkenstock’s?
