Found some interesting information on soy and some other products common to processed foods: http://www.rmhiherbal.org/review/2000-4.html#mar Don't know yet how much of this information is accurate, need to review it further and check its sources, but at the very least it is highly thought provoking and seems to draw some of the same conclusions my intuition has led me to.
"The kahunas believed that by an action of mind a man adds to the amount of mana he has already created from food and air consumed, by quickening the extraction process. This theory is supported by our physiologists, who have found that when we digest our food it is not all used at once, but is changed to glycogen, or blood sugar, and oxidized with oxygen from the air we breathe to give us such amounts of force and strength as we may need for the work we happen to do. If this is true, and there seems no reason to question the findings, the low self, who attends to all such matters, can at any time begin to take in more air and cause more blood sugar to be burned to create more of that strange chemically-manufactured force we call mana."
"The Secret Science at Work" by Max Freedom Long, pg 74.
"The individual with a low normal charge-level of mana has almost always found that he can sense the addition of mana after taking on a surcharge. It adds to the sense of wellbeing, of physical strength, or will and determination, and it sharpens the mind, makes memorization faster and easier, and the senses more acute. The later feature is best noted in vision. The HRA test most favored is that of hanging up a color picture, looking at it before the taking on of a surcharge and then again after the surcharge has been accumulated. Vision becomes clearer, and more, it is surprising how much wider a field one becomes aware of at one time, and how much more detail stands out and how the colors strengthen. One HRA who worked long and wearisome hours on his job found that if, once or twice, morning and afternoon, he paused to take on a surcharge of mana, he was immediately strengthened and greatly refreshed.
All the evidence shows that the mana is, indeed, the life force, and that with it, the life is strong, while without it, it fades. This is not exclusively an HRA or Huna discovery. Medical men have long known that if the level of vital force falls too low, the middle self loses its power to control the low self, and the low self, lacking guidance, becomes erratic, then neurotic or psychotic symptoms appear. And, if the level is far enough down, the victim sinks into a state of morbidity and depression that may end in complete insanity."
