Soy shit?
As a vegetarian, Ali eats a TON of soy based products. Because I am married to a vegetarian, I wind up eating a lot of soy based products as well. The general consensus has been soy is the miracle food, a way to get your protein without consuming meat. Well after taking a look at this site I don’t feel very good about Ali or myself consuming lots of soy products. The site does not just condemn soy, it goes into GREAT detail about what makes it not good for you. Apparently parents that give their babies soy based formula are inadvertently giving them the equivalent of 5 birth control pills worth of estrogen in each bottle, ouch. I forwarded the site to Ali for her to check out. Being a dietitian I am sure she will initially dismiss my find as she feels I could not possibly offer her any nutritional information of any value. Well I certainly can’t make up her mind for her but it certainly will make me think much harder about the amount of soy based foods I eat.
