10 Foods That Cause Mucus
Mucus Causing Food #5: Soy Products
Soy products are products made from soybeans. The soy or soya bean is a legume native to East Asia. It is a cheap protein source used in many packaged meals, dairy substitutes, and meat substitutes. The soy beans contain significant levels of dietary minerals, vitamin Bs, and phytic acid.
Soy can be found in many products available in stores. However, allergy to soy is common and it is listed among other foods that can cause allergy such as shellfish, milk, peanuts, eggs, and tree nuts. Due to its notoriety as an allergen, it is also for this reason that it may increase mucus production.
