Comments on: How Much Soy is in Your Diet??? http://trueoptimalhealth.com/2008/09/15/you-thought-soy-was-healthy/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 03:05:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: earthmother http://trueoptimalhealth.com/2008/09/15/you-thought-soy-was-healthy/#comment-291 earthmother Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:16:09 +0000 http://trueoptimalhealth.com/?p=180#comment-291 I was a "guinea pig" baby. My parents received free soy formula back in, ahem, 1962, when it was just being test marketed. I developed such a taste for it that growing up I preferred soy milk to cow's milk. Those "five birth control pills worth of estrogen" that I was consuming daily wrecked havoc on my young body: allergies, thyroid dysfunction, depression, headaches, sinus infections, chronic fatigue, weight gain, polycystic ovaries, edema. Of course, we never knew it was from the soy. As an adult, not only did I drink soy milk daily, but I discovered tofu and added it into my diet on a regular basis. A couple of months ago, I read an article about soy being <i>the most mucus-forming plant on the planet</i> and made the decision to eliminate it entirely from my diet. WOW, the detox that ensued! Let's just say that I had buckets of mucus being expelled from every bodily orifice imaginable! I was a “guinea pig” baby.
