Is soy safe?
« on: July 25, 2006, 09:03:28 AM »
An interesting article from The Guardian:

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Interesting artcile, as I am lactose intolerant, most foods I can consume are high in soya.  I know even on diet shows they sometimes  try to get people to switch to soya.  I read an article similiar  to this about a year and a half ago but it was referring to women with PCOS. I brought this up to my doctor and he said that they were aware of it but it really didn't affect women unless it was in high amounts.   But i suppose this just could another one of those foods they always end up saying isn't good for you and then a few years later say it is.

I think what makes soy potentially dangerous is the fact it's in so many foods we eat but we don't know it's there... especially processed foods.

There is a lot of information and studies about there about soy, although this article is fairly comprehensive, it certainly wants to work on scare-tactics.

Seriously, though. Given all the information we've got, what IS safe to eat these days?  :P

just don't make rice pudding with rice milk-  big mistake.
