Re: Soy - Good or Bad?

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!!!

Re: Soy - Good or Bad?

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?

Here are some links to good soy info. My husband and I just switched to rice milk, and we both like it better. We will still eat soy (oh how I love tempeh!), but less of it than we did before. And when our daughter is old enough for solids we will give her soy too, but in small amounts. Everything in moderation, eh?
