As it states below, ADM contributes millions of dollars to midwestern universities in the form of research grants. As Haelan started to grow, ADM was afraid that the truth about unfermented soy products would be disseminated by Haelan. As you can see she refuses to address the unfermented soy issue and why she attacked a fermented soy product like Haelan. ADM had hundred's of millions of dollars tied up in their soy products being sold as a preventive and a treatment for cancer, therefore the unscrupulous ADM, through Clare Hasler attacked Haelan so vehemently that any disclosure made by Haelan concerning the uselessness of unfermented soy products in treating cancer would go unnoticed. Haelan makes it's soy product in the traditional Asian way which is fermented.
Soy products are at the forefront of a multi billion dollar industrial complex.
Archer Daniel Midlands, the world's major soy processor, spends very heavily on advertising, especially for news programs on major networks. ADM has holdings in major newspapers, and the press present soy in a positive light. ADM lobbies heavily in Washington and supports university research programs. Isoflavone aglycones are anticarcinogenic substances found in traditionally fermented soy products. To summarize, traditional fermented soy products such as miso, natto and tempeh, which are usually made with organically grown soybeans, have a long history of use that is generally beneficial when combined with other elements of the Oriental diet including rice, sea foods, fish broth, organ meats and fermented vegetables.
