Fwd: [OHP] Soy -- Food, wonder drug, or poison?

[Guest guest]

That was an interesting article. Thanks for sharing

it, meg. Your thoughts on the subject sound a lot like

where i am at on this issue. i feel there are so many

more things to eat as a vegetarian. If soy were an issue

i would have no trouble avoiding adding it to my diet;

i admit i might miss crispy stir-fried tofu, but could live

without it.

i don't drink milk at all.... never did when i was a child,

so i never started to gulp down soy milk when i avoided

many dairy products; i still prefer water and some iced

tea for beverages. i did get into the Silk brand soynog

this holiday season though, but that was only a 1/2 a

cup serving every day or so.

Faux meats are cool to buy here and there, but i am finding

i prefer to make my own veggie burgers out of beans, grains

and such.... avoiding soy there is easier now, too.

 

Moderation with soy gets easier when you start trying

alternatives and think beyond the blocks of tofu for protein.

TVP is made from soy isn't it? I use it in loaves now and burgers. I am not

worried about protein, just have gotten into using it as a binder. Actually the

kind that I like I can't seem to make so I could do without it here at home. I

take it there are some recipes on file for burgers and loaves? I get lost in

there. LOL I have been researching the issue of the soy and kind of think I

overdo it and that it is in so much stuff that I need to stop the gorging on it

since there is a growing lit on it that has a problem with it. If I remember

correctly when food combining was the in-thing that beans and rice make a

complete protein. And that even beans and bread (tortillas) or rice and bread

(tortillas) are complete. And that now you don't have to eat them together in

the same meal. Corrections?
