Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 My sister in law is a health nut, like me - but in a recent email she told me she believes veganism is unhealthy and dangerous and that SOY is a very unhealthy, dangerous food/substance. She says she has done lots of research. Her family lives on a farm and they mostly eat vegetables they have grown and drink raw milk and eat dairy products made from that raw milk from free-roaming cows that eat whatever cows normally eat when left to their own devices. She has a compassionate heart and doesn't let her kids eat any junk at all. I'm just saying this cause I don't want to make it sound like she's just another one of those vegetarianism haters. Here is part of her email: And finally, about the health subject... I want to encourage you to look at the website: www.westonaprice.org. It is not a vegetarian website, but it is very interesting and eye-opening. I am a bit concerned about the vegan thing... specifically the soy products. I truly do not want to threaten you and all the research you've been doing, but I have also done a lot of research and I have been warned time and again about those two things (veganism and soy products) being considered healthy. A GREAT book to read is called The Maker's Diet and it's written about just that. The author is Jordan Ruben. I would be glad to send (by mail) some other information that I think would be very helpful to you. But I think I'll wait for your O.K. I don't want to intrude on your private life and the way you choose to do things, but I DO care! So I look at the weston price website and see articles like this: http://www.westonaprice.org/myths_truths/myths_truths_vegetarianism.html Just saying the opposite of pretty much everything I believe to be true. So who's right? As for the dangers of soy - I HAVE read many articles claiming the health risks involved in eating soy products, even on some vegetarian websites. So now i'm confused. I'd like some facts to give her when I write back.
