Thanks, Dree. I'm trying to learn all I can about how best to eat, but there's so much conflicting info out there. I guess I need to make slow, gradual changes and see how my body and mind react to them. Good advice on not being out of balance.

What's your take on soy milk vs. rice milk?

There's so much said about it - it's hard to know 'the truth about soy'.

Like with everything I feel a major thing is, like with anything you eat, don't go over the top/disbalanced about it.

Try to use the least processed soy products; tempey, tofu, etc. instead of 'fake meat' etc.

And whatever you do, make sure you use NON GMO soy products!!!

Soy - Good or Bad?

I would like to throw out the topic of soy to everyone. I have heard people such as Dr. Andrew Weill mention soy quite often when recommending dairy and meat protein replacements in diet. However, my friend just went to a holistic nutritionist who recommended rice milk over soy mild, saying that soy releases toxins into the system.

I'm curious to know your personal experiences with soy, and recommendations you have heard or subcribe to around it.
