They're everywhere aren't they? Soy is used in an incredible amount of foods, in various forms. It's almost impossible to avoid soy in animal feeds and I was only able to do so in our pig feed because the addition of milk and whey makes up for the lysine that would otherwise be lacking. According to Wikipedia, raw soybeans, including edamame, are toxic to all mono-gastric animals. While I have known of the dangers of soy for some time, I'm posting on it now because it was brought to my attention today by an employee at a local feed mill commenting that he's extremely allergic to soy. Even the roasted beans bother him, but handling the raw ones make him really sick.
So if you didn't know that soy can be dangerous, consider this your warning.
Soy is actually a pretty common food allergy. It is in the top 8 list of most common food allergies.
