Great Post my friend!
I read The China Study waaayyy back when I first changed my diet (I was 17 and in college- had a lot of free time to read and was never a “mainstream” kind of girl). So that was about 9 years ago now. Wow! Great Book! So much valuable information from such an in depth study on the effects of different diets and correlating health. I watched the video you shared of the interview all the way through! Cool to know his kids are now writing some worthy books and standing in support of their fathers ideals!
Up until recently, I am actually one of those people to believe that soy increases estrogen in the body...that being said, I bought some tempeh at the store tonight and will be trying it out this week. See how it sits with me. I’m excited because I have nothing against soy- I was just concerned after hearing about the estrogen increase- but if this is just a myth- then I am totally down to reintroduce my body to it. It may even make me feel better than eating as many beans as I do (am kind of sensitive to them on a daily basis lol).
I also have tried some black bean pasta very recently- very very good and versatile!! It opened up the door for so many possibilities- it excites me!
Thank you again for your wealth of information. Your pictures ARE amazing and unique. I do appreciate the style of your food photography and it really does stand out!
Awaiting your future posts...
Hi there thanks for the fantastic message! i must say if you've read the china study you are well aware of t colin's work and what he says about soy :) Im assuming you're talking about the video i posted on my other post about soy right? I trust the mans word and wealth of knowledge so youll be just fine with soy. In my perspective we dont have much to worry about when it comes to plant sourced foods. its like when people say watch out eating fruit, i cant help but roll my eyes every time. please people! any how thanks for stopping by and im glad you like what i do, it reminds me why i do this and keeps me going. have a good one!
