Noy to Soy
| Posted by authorDonna |
| I so love that noy to soy comment! I agree with the moderation comment but it goes further than that. Soy is high in estrogen. When it goes through the varying processes its compounds are altered and it can become harmful. The key isn't necessarily the soy itself but the process it goes through. And that can be said of any food. Sugar is brutal to my system and yet I can suck on an actual sugar cane with no problem at all. The more we process, the more harmful our food becomes. Probably why God didn't create processed foods. Have a great one.

| Fully agree about the soy. Small amounts as a condiment don't bother me, but it is in EVERYTHING, and being used as such a MAJOR part of diet. For something as hormone laden, I just don't trust that. We avoid it. (Which is getting harder to do.)
Appreciating all that the tech team here at HSB does. I'm blessed to have not seen the complaining. (Although I've run into a few who are trying to figure out the changes, but most I've seen are just bewildered, not angry. Sorry to hear that it is ugly at the top.) Thanks to all who keep this little blog community safe and friendly! It is appreciated! and the blips add character, right? You'd asked about the aprons my girls were wearing. I think in that picture it was actually jumpers, made from a "Holly and Hunter" pattern. Keegan has little over-alls that match. They were great fun to make. (Wish I had more time to sew more...) No... I guess I don't wish I had more time. If I had more time I'd not be busy with the little ones for WHOM I want to do the sewing. Guess it is a catch 22. Anyway, thanks for great entries! And for all the behind the scenes work here at HSB! |

| You are so right about soy! I used to think it was great stuff, too, and would have a soy shake for breakfast every morning. Then I got thyroid cancer. Not saying the soy caused it, however, when you read about the thyroid, the worst thing you can eat or drink is soy. Period. That convinced me it was a bad thing. Then I read the information by the Pearls and then I knew what a bad thing it was. Thanks for sharing this. It's really important stuff! God bless. |

| Great post Tia! It is so important that we not just "go with the flow" when it comes to feeding our families. It is amazing how much so called "healthy" stuff is no good. I know it is not a Christian book...but Nourishing Traditions has really got me thinking. Edited by cammiemelisabray on Jan. 10, 2007 at 9:44 PM |

| Noy to soy-- you crack me up!
We like soy here. While we like soymilk okay, we usually drink cow's milk-- mmmmmm! (I resisted adding ooooo to the end of that). Being Korean, we grew up eating tofu and love it! It's good in certain soups, sliced, diced, fried, stir fried... YUMMY! But we don't eat a ton of it every single day. I think, as with anything else, you should do all things in moderation. Even too much water is not good for ya! Love, Marsha |

Natural
| Posted by Angelheart |
| I still think as natural as possible is the way to go. Its a shame it is so hard to get. I think anything in abundance can be bad for you. Thanks for the information.

| Well, I'll really have to look into this. We don't purposely do lots of soy, but I do use Nayonaise, which is soy based, and 2 of my girls love Vanilla soy milk on their cereal (yuck!). A few years ago what I heard is that soy that had been tampered with was not healthy--that it needed to be "pure". I'd say that is probably hard to come by for milks,etc. Most processed foods are unhealthy to some extent. Foods that are best for us are foods that are closest to what God made. Now the question--is soy based mayo worse for you than the regular mayo with all of it's junk? I doubt there's an easy answer to some of these foods.
Sorry you all have had so much trouble with the new site. I have been frustrated with it a couple of days, but for the most part, it's doable. I don't *like* the changes, but would rather deal with that than safety issues. The feature I miss is being able to go directly to your friends' blog from the friends list. Now you have to go to their profile first. That makes waiting longer for the pages to load (and sometimes they won't) a little more frustrating. But I'm smiling. : ) and I won't be leaving. Letitia |

| Could it be the way we (mis)use soy in the West? Certain Asian countries use soy pretty heavily, but in very different ways than us.
We don't use products with soy in them often, but I sure do need it for stir fry! |

In our family we have a no soy policy. A couple of our babies were allergic to milk, so we switched to soy... only to switch to the most expensive, hypo-allergenic formulas on the market. ACK!! In the end we have found that babies (at least OUR babies) do best with goat's milk. Breast is best, but goats milk is second best. (And best when the kids are weaned off of breast milk and still struggle with cows milk.)
Blessings, Beckie :o)
