Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 It is really easy to go from regular junk food to veggie junk food and overconsume tofu, fake meat products,...I have also read that tempeh is " safer " than tofu, but as an earlier post said, moderation is the key! Breast cancer runs in my family and I have been careful about the products I use (elliminate paraben containing shampoos, etc), but haven't taken stock of how much soy I have been consuming until now... I don't use milk, but have been using a large amount of silk soy milk : ) does someone have a brand of almond milk (or other alternative) that is close to silk soy milk? I will not even pretend like I will make my own almond milk : ) Also, I have not yet tried Quorn products, but maybe they would be a good substitituion for soy products occasionally. If you are looking for a good soy-free veggie burger, Sunshine Burgers have become my newest favorite convenince food! thanks! melissa p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Melissa, It is good to reanalyze your diet as you are doing. Higher cancer rates are found with people who eat high protein diets, whether veggie or not. I know almond milk is a pain to make. Have you tried making your own walnut milk? You don't have to peel anything. GB Re: estrogenic effects of tofu, good alteranatives to soy?
