It’s commonly believed that soya is a healthy choice and a good source of protein, but treat it with caution.

Soya is one of the top eight allergens in the world. It has been linked to cancer, reproductive-system damage and severe flatulence. Some claim that soya lowers sperm count and that it has not even been proved safe.

Nasal polyposis results from chronic inflammation of the nasal and sinus mucous membranes. Chronic inflammation causes a reactive hyperplasia of the intranasal mucosal membrane, which results in the formation of polyps.

Nasal polyps are the most common tumors of the nasal cavity.  Nasal polyposis can impair a person’s quality of life more than perennial allergic rhinitis. Nasal polyps are soft, jelly-like overgrowths of the lining of the sinuses. They look like grapes on the end of a stalk. Large polyps can bloc the nose and increase the risk of sinusitis. They may be yellowish, grey or pink in colour. They are common and are not cancerous.
