Default What's the Problem with Soy?

If soy works for you then you don't need to worry but for some women it causes
trouble because it mimics estrogen and can mess up their hormones. Estrogen,
especially unopposed estrogen (meaning without balancing it with progesterone)
can encourage the growth of reproductive cancers such as endometrial cancer -
currently the number one cancer of women.

Also in my case I just hate the taste of soy flour and even before I had the
cancer problem I tried to avoid anything that had soy flour in it. Oddly enough
I didn't mind the taste of tofu and ate lots of Chinese food with it in it but
tofu seems much milder than soy flour.

In addition to the estrogen mentioned in other posts, some have
thyroid interaction when they eat large amounts of soy. If you
are on thyroid pills, read up before having more than an occasional
dish of tofu, then make an educated decision.

The thing I don't get is why vegetarians are always so angry. They are
filled with hatred and it is their entire life effort to spew hatred at
people.

Sometimes vegetarians are just born. My 13 year old son does not like meat. He
likes vegetables and fruit. He is not overweight, he is in great shape. I have
tried different ways to get him to eat meat, he just does not like it. He likes
seafood sometimes though. Salads is his favorite. He can make some awesome
ones. He is not angry or he doesn't spew hatred. So to say all vegetarians are
like that, is not true.


Not sure why he spews hatred, the one you are talking about. There can be all
sorts of reasons. I know I don't have to be a part of it. So I decided not to.

Geez. Generalize much? Gandhi was so overflowing with hatred, wasn't he?

I've never really used soy products before going low-carb, but I'm not
having any problems with them now that I'm aware of.

consumption.)
