The Age of the Soybean: An Environmental History of Soy During the Great Acceleration

Edited by Claiton Marcio da Silva & Claudio de Majo (2022, open access!)

The soybean is far more than just a versatile crop whose derivates serve the protein needs of a meatless diet. One of the world’s most important commodities, soy represents the embodiment of mechanised industrial agriculture and is one of the main actors behind the socioeconomic, political and ecological transformations of industrial farming in several world regions. Despite the crop’s potential as a cheap source of vegetal protein for human consumers, most industrial soybean production has fuelled the global meat industrial complex, as animal feed. Soybean is thus, paradoxically, still a relatively ‘invisible’ crop to the public at large, although its global yields continue to increase at stupendous rates, lining the pockets of agribusiness and to the detriment of traditional agriculture. The transnational socio-ecological and economic entanglements characterising this versatile legume’s global expansion have prompted scholarly attention as researchers around the world have begun to unveil the main historical drivers behind the rise of the soybean in the global food chain. This book aims to expand the analysis, offering the most significant effort so far at an environmental history of soybeans. Interrogating the socioeconomic and ecological transformations determined by (and determining) the rise of soy in international food chains during the Great Acceleration, the volume gathers contributions from an international cast of researchers, working in numerous geographical contexts, from Japan and China, to India, African nations, the Southern Cone of Latin America, Northern Europe and the United States. Soybean farming, breeding, processing and marketing have bound together the histories of these diverse regions and altered beyond recognition their ecological and socio-economic contexts.

Globalizing the Soybean: Fat, Feed, and Sometimes Food, c. 1900–1950 Ines Prodöhl (2023, PDF open access)

Ines Prodöhl’s Globalizing the Soybean: Fat, Feed, and Sometimes Food, c. 1900-1950 (Routledge, 2023) is a history of how, why, and where the soybean became a critical ingredient in industry and agriculture in the first half of the twentieth century. Focusing on Japanese-dominated Manchuria, Germany, and the United States, Prodöhl shows that the soybean was a serendipitous solution to numerous and varied crises from the beginning of the century into the post-WWII decades. This story of imperialism, globalization, and technology begins in northeast China, the world’s soy cultivation center until the 1940s. It takes us to Germany, the number one importer of soybeans in the interwar period, and illuminates the various ways in which soy was integrated into the economy especially after the end of WWI as both an invaluable oilseed for industry and a source of protein-rich fodder for agriculture. Finally, Prodöhl explores how the United States first adopted the soybean mostly as a solution to overtaxed soils. Mixing economic, ecological, political, and technological/scientific history with a keen sense of the materiality of soy as a global product, Globalizing the Soybean is an accessible and enlightening book that will appeal to multiple audiences.

The Government of Beans: Regulating Life in the Age of Monocrops

Kregg Hetherington (2020)

The Government of Beans is about the rough edges of environmental regulation, where tenuous state power and blunt governmental instruments encounter ecological destruction and social injustice. At the turn of the twenty-first century, Paraguay was undergoing dramatic economic, political, and environmental change due to a boom in the global demand for soybeans. Although the country's massive new soy monocrop brought wealth, it also brought deforestation, biodiversity loss, rising inequality, and violence. Kregg Hetherington traces well-meaning attempts by bureaucrats and activists to regulate the destructive force of monocrops that resulted in the discovery that the tools of modern government are at best inadequate to deal with the complex harms of modern agriculture and at worst exacerbate them. The book simultaneously tells a local story of people, plants, and government; a regional story of the rise and fall of Latin America's new left; and a story of the Anthropocene writ large, about the long-term, paradoxical consequences of destroying ecosystems in the name of human welfare.

The Story of Soy

Christine M. Du Bois (2018)

The humble soybean is the world’s most widely grown and most traded oilseed. And though found in everything from veggie burgers to cosmetics, breakfast cereals to plastics, soy is also a poorly understood crop often viewed in extreme terms—either as a superfood or a deadly poison. In this illuminating book, Christine M. Du Bois reveals soy’s hugely significant role in human history as she traces the story of soy from its domestication in ancient Asia to the promise and peril ascribed to it in the twenty-first century. Traveling across the globe and through millennia, The Story of Soy includes a cast of fascinating characters as vast as the soy fields themselves—entities who’ve applauded, experimented with, or despised soy. From Neolithic villagers to Buddhist missionaries, European colonialists, Japanese soldiers, and Nazi strategists; from George Washington Carver to Henry Ford, Monsanto, and Greenpeace; from landless peasants to petroleum refiners, Du Bois explores soy subjects as diverse as its impact on international conflicts, its role in large-scale meat production and disaster relief, its troubling ecological impacts, and the nutritional controversies swirling around soy today. She also describes its genetic modification, the scandals and pirates involved in the international trade in soybeans, and the potential of soy as an intriguing renewable fuel. Featuring compelling historical and contemporary photographs, The Story of Soy is a potent reminder never to underestimate the importance of even the most unprepossesing sprout.

KEY POINTS

Cargill, the largest privately held company in the U.S. with $165 billion in 2022 revenue, is investing for the long game in plant-based food and a world which it forecasts will need 70% more protein over the next three decades.

The agribusiness giant got into the market later than buzzy startups including Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, as well as traditional rivals Tyson Foods, Hormel Foods and Smithfield Foods, but it is growing its alternative-protein portfolio including lab-grown beef, chicken and fish made from animal cells.

The plant-based protein boom has stalled, with buzzy startups humbled and food giants retreating, but Cargill forecasts 70% more protein consumption over the next 25 to 30 years. "That protein has to come from somewhere," says its chief technology officer and head of R&D, Florian Schattenmann.

The plant-based protein boom has stalled, with buzzy startups humbled and food giants retreating, but Cargill forecasts 70% more protein consumption over the next 25 to 30 years. “That protein has to come from somewhere,” says its chief technology officer and head of R&D, Florian Schattenmann.

Cargill

Cargill is hardly a household name among consumers — even though it’s the largest privately held company in the U.S., with $165 billion in revenue in its fiscal year 2022. The 158-year-old Minneapolis-based agribusiness giant produces a slew of branded and private-label meats and food ingredients and offers a wide range of agriculture-related products and services.

In the last few years, flying somewhat under the public radar, Cargill has also become a formidable player in the plant-based meat industry, which has come back down to Earth after its meteoric rise about a decade ago, when venture-capital-backed disruptors Beyond Meat

and Impossible Foods came on like gangbusters. Traditional meat companies, including Tyson Foods, Hormel Foods and Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods, jumped on the bandwagon, and the marketplace was soon flooded with faux beef, chicken and sausage.

Strategically, Cargill joined later in the game, and is now positioning itself to win the food fight that its competitors started.

In February 2020, almost a year after Beyond Meat’s IPO, Cargill introduced private-label plant-based patties and ground products for global retail and foodservice markets. Later that year, the company came out with a branded line — called Crave House, featuring plant-based burgers, ground, meatballs and sausages — for those same markets, as well as e-commerce channels. Additionally, Cargill began marketing several plant-based protein ingredients, made from soy, pea and wheat, to food and beverage manufacturers worldwide.

“We are a unique player,” said Florian Schattenmann, Cargill’s chief technology officer and head of research and development. “We have everything from the ingredients to the final meat-processing and distribution, and don’t play in fancy brands. That’s our strategy. I wouldn’t say it’s tempered, but deliberate and thoughtful, knowing where our strengths are and not overbuilding in watching the market.”

Thinking Of Taking Protein Powder? You Need To Read This!

Walking down the supplement aisles in any Walmart; you’re bound to come across rows upon rows of huge protein powder containers from different manufacturers. What you see is physical real-life proof of the popularity of protein supplements and their massive market share.

What is Protein Powder?

Protein powder is a supplement that provides protein in powder form. Protein is a macro-nutrient essential for the proper functioning of the body. Proteins are made up of amino acids — which play an integral role in the growth and repair of bones and muscles.

Protein helps in weight loss or its management, adds to muscular leanness, and minimizes muscle loss. Additionally, proteins regulate metabolism, the immune system, and brain activity.

Animal and plant-based proteins consist of about 20 common amino acids. But nine of these cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained through what we eat. These are called essential amino acids.

Natural sources of protein are meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, chickpeas, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. These substances also form the basic ingredients of protein powders.

So, protein powders are essentially concentrated protein processed and sold in powder form. The supplement is sold in pharmacies, stores, gyms, and online. They are mostly taken in the form of shakes, but you can also buy protein tablets and energy bars.

Sources of Protein Powder

1. Whey Protein

Whey protein is made from the watery part of milk that separates from it during curdling — when you add vinegar or acid to milk. Since milk is a complete protein, so is the whey that originates from it. It’s also easily digested and quickly absorbed by the body.

Though people take whey protein to improve athletic performance and increase muscle strength. But there’s only limited research available on this subject.

2. Casein Protein

Casein protein also comes from milk. It is the substance in milk that gives it its white color. Casein is also present in yogurt and cheese, and it’s also added to baby formula. It is a complete protein, but it is not as easily digested as whey protein.

Because it takes a long to digest, it helps one to feel full for a long time, which makes it popular with those who use protein powders to lose weight.

Research results on the effectiveness of casein for the improvement of athletic performance are mixed.

3. Soy Protein Isolate

Soy protein isolate is made from soybeans. Soybeans are a complete protein, and soy protein is popular with vegans and vegetarians who want to supplement their protein intake.

Soybeans are a rich source of protein as they are 90% protein.

4. Egg Protein

Egg white powder is made with egg whites. The egg whites are separated from the yolks and then dried into a powder. Afterward, the powder is pasteurized at high temperatures, which makes it safe to take and easy to digest.

Egg white powder is highly digestible and an excellent source of protein, containing all essential amino acids.

5. Pea Protein

Pea protein is made from dried yellow peas. Yellow peas contain high-quality protein but are not 100% complete protein as they have limited amounts of the amino acid methionine.

Pea protein is a vegan-friendly protein powder used to supplement protein intake and help with building muscles and weight loss.

6. Hemp Protein

Hemp protein is made from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. Hemp seeds are a complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids. In addition, hemp protein powder contains a range of micronutrients, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Hemp protein is popular with vegans and people who can’t tolerate dairy or soy products. However, protein derived from the cannabis sativa plant may be problematic.

Are Protein Powders Safe to Consume?

There is one crucial point to remember about supplements. Unlike medicine, dietary supplements like protein powders are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has stringent requirements for the safety and risks of medicines to ensure that they have minimal side effects and are safe to take.

There is no such body that regulates the manufacture of supplements; it is left to manufacturers to ensure and guarantee that their products are safe. In other words, when we buy supplements, including protein powder, we are at the mercy of manufacturers’ integrity. It’s best to do your due diligence and do research to confirm that what a manufacturer claims is true.

Heavy Metals Found in Some Supplements

Back in 2010, a Consumer Reports study analyzed 15 protein powders and found they all had at least one sample that contained one or more of these contaminants: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury.

More recently, a 2018 study from the Clean Label Project found that many of the top-selling protein powders contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic. Some also contained bisphenol (BPA) — an industrial chemical used in the production of certain plastics.

The investigators tested 134 products and established that nearly all contained at least one heavy metal and half contained BPA.

Interestingly, plant-based protein powders showed higher levels of contamination.

The investigators found that the protein powders made from plant sources like soy or hemp had about twice as much lead and much higher levels of other contaminants than products made from whey or egg whites.

Heavy metals are extremely dangerous for humans. The ingestion of heavy metals leads to serious health consequences, including cancer.

How Do Heavy Metals Get Into Plant-based Supplements?

Some plants are bio accumulators i.e. they are good at absorbing compounds from the soil. But this ability is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, these plants can absorb useful minerals from the soil, and on the other hand, they can also absorb toxins like heavy metals.

Hemp (Cannabis sativa)is a bio-accumulator. That means that apart from the nutrients it absorbs from the soil, it also absorbs harmful compounds like heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. In fact, hemp is so good at absorbing industrial toxins that it’s currently being explored as a metal bio-remediator i.e. metal-accumulating plant to clean up soil.

Several processes exist to remove metals from the leaves and stems of plants that carry high concentrations of cadmium, lead, or nickel. However, how do you know that the manufacturer of hemp protein powder used the best method to remove all contaminants?

Toxins can also find their way into the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers of plants via contaminated water.

Factors to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Protein Powder

The first consideration is obviously to choose a protein supplement that aligns with your diet. If you are a strict vegetarian or vegan, protein powders made from plant-based protein sources like soy, pea, and hemp will be suitable. Vegetarians who include dairy and eggs in their diet could also consider egg protein, whey, or casein powders.

Beyond this basic consideration, there are several other important factors to consider:

Remember protein powder is classified as a supplement, and as such, is not regulated by the FDA. When you choose a protein supplement, confirm that the manufacturer has its products tested by a certified and independent third party, such as NSF International, Informed Choice, or the United States Pharmacopeia USP.

A supplement should also state that the brand follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), which ensures that the product is what the manufacturer claims it is.

Study the product label carefully to find out exactly what ingredients the product contains. A good idea is to give preference to short ingredient lists. After all, this indicates that the product doesn’t contain unnecessary ingredients.

Look out for added sugar. To make the powder drinks more palatable, sugar or artificial sweeteners are often added to the protein powder. You don’t need the added calories or the spike in blood sugar levels.

Consider your current health condition. If you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or struggle with lactose intolerance, don’t choose a protein supplement that contains lactose sugars, artificial sweeteners, dextrin, or maltodextrins.

Similarly, if you are intolerant to gluten; make sure you don’t choose a supplement that contains gluten.

People who have kidney disease must limit their intake of protein. They can choose a powder that doesn’t contain high concentrations of protein.

What Are the Risks?

Generally, protein powders help you to build muscle, improve your sports performance, and lose or gain weight depending on your circumstances. However, there are some risks associated with either inappropriate supplements or dosage.

1. Kidney Damage

High-protein diets have been shown to damage the kidneys, leading to kidney stones, dehydration, and impaired kidney function. The supplement itself may not be a problem, but if you take more than the recommended dose, you may be endangering your kidneys.

2. Liver Damage

As discussed earlier, some plant-based protein powders may contain contaminants that are very damaging to the liver, such as mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead. These substances are highly toxic and repeated ingestion of them may compromise the liver over time.

The levels in most products don’t pose a health threat to users. However, those who have pre-existing liver issues should consult a doctor before taking protein supplements.

Keep in mind that plant-based protein powder supplements tend to have higher levels of heavy metals in them than those derived from animal products.

3. Digestive Issues

Whey protein powders can cause digestive distress like nausea, bloating, diarrhea, cramps, heartburn, or constipation for people who have lactose intolerance. If you are lactose intolerant, consider using non-dairy protein powders, such as soy, pea, egg, or hemp protein.

4. Allergic reactions

The most likely allergy when it comes to protein powders is an allergy to cow’s milk in whey and casein protein powders.

Allergic reactions may also occur due to ingredients like soy, eggs, nuts, or gluten. It’s important to check the product labels for ingredients that you may be allergic to. Also, read the labels carefully for foreign ingredients that you don’t know and might have a reaction to.

5. Hormonal Effect

Many protein powders contain additives such as emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, sweeteners, flavors, and preservatives. Research shows that these substances can disrupt the endocrine system which is responsible for making hormones. And so, prolonged use of food additives can result in hormonal imbalance.

Aside from that, food additives can also disrupt the gut microbiome.

So, a good idea is to look for protein powder products with a short ingredient list.

How Should I Approach Protein Powder Supplements?

When looking for a protein powder, the first point to consider is how much protein you need.

The Food and Drug Administration suggests 50 grams of protein per day for an adult. However, this may vary depending on age, gender, health status, and activity levels. So, most experts recommend roughly 0.8 grams per kilogram of body mass.

That comes to about 55 grams a day for a person weighing 150 pounds.

Many people in America consume much more than that — some 65–90 grams.

Harvard Medical School recommends people stick to the Recommended Dietary Allowance for protein intake, which is around 46 grams per day for women and 56 grams for men. Examples of food and their protein content are:

A chicken egg (6 grams)

A small 6-ounce tub of yogurt (18 grams)

A handful of nuts (4–7 grams)

A cup of milk (8 grams)

2 ounces of cooked chicken (14 grams)

Though most people consume enough protein content on daily basis. Young females often need more proteins for their body’s maintenance. Meanwhile, people older than 70 often don’t get enough protein, often because of their diminished appetite.

But then, do you even need a protein powder supplement?

I suggest that you research these supplements, particularly if you’re either sick or underweight, an older adult with a poor appetite, or a professional athlete.

You can also fulfill your daily intake of proteins if you consume a diet rich in whole foods that include meat, fish, eggs, legumes, nuts, and seeds. After all, a balanced diet can not only keep you fit but also help you avoid food preservatives.

But for those who seek protein powders and wondering which one to choose; I present to you:

Factors Affecting the Growth of the Rice Protein Industry:

Demand for plant-based protein sources:

One of the prime factors driving the rice protein market is the escalating demand for plant-based protein sources. With the increasing prevalence of health-conscious consumers and environmentally sustainable practices, there has been a notable shift away from traditional animal-based proteins. Rice protein, derived from brown or white rice, has emerged as a viable alternative, especially for individuals looking to reduce their consumption of animal products. This trend is fueled by concerns about animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and the perceived health benefits associated with plant-based diets. As a result, food manufacturers and supplement producers are increasingly incorporating rice protein into their products to meet the growing demand for plant-based protein options.

Rising awareness of health and wellness:

Another significant driver of the rice protein market is the rising awareness of health and wellness among consumers. With an increasing emphasis on fitness, nutrition, and overall well-being, individuals are seeking out products that offer functional benefits without compromising on taste or quality. Rice protein is gaining traction as a healthy and nutritious alternative to conventional protein sources due to its high protein content, low allergenic potential, and hypoallergenic properties. Additionally, rice protein is often perceived as a clean and natural ingredient, free from common allergens such as soy, dairy, and gluten, making it suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions or sensitivities, which, in turn, is contributing to the market expansion.

Adoption of vegan and vegetarian diets:

As more consumers embrace plant-based lifestyles for ethical, environmental, or health reasons, there is a growing need for protein sources that align with these dietary preferences. Rice protein offers a convenient and versatile option for vegans and vegetarians seeking to meet their protein requirements without relying on animal-derived products. Its neutral taste profile and compatibility with various food applications make it a popular choice for formulating plant-based alternatives to meat, dairy, and egg-based products. The surge in vegan and vegetarian food options, coupled with the mainstreaming of plant-based diets, is fueling the demand for rice protein as a key ingredient in plant-based foods, beverages, and supplements.
