Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Hi, You have reason to be concerned about soy! It is responsible for the thyroid problems I have at present. Some experts say not to take in more than the equivalent of 5 oz. of soy milk per day. I am trying to take in the equivalent of 0 oz. of soy per day, but, like you said, it is hard to find products that don't have any! I am a diabetic, and this is like the problem many of us have of trying to find foods that don't have sugar in them.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 I was wondering just off the top of your head, what foods contain soy besides the obvious soy products like tofu, soy milk, soy protein. I wasn't aware soy was used so much. --- Hall <jimchristianhall@...> wrote: > > Hi, > > You have reason to be concerned about soy!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Have you tried Rice milk? I switched from soy milk to rice and it has 11g sugar per cup. Don't remember what the soy had. Love and take care, Reneé and Jerry rja86@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware soy > was used so much. Hi , I was gone for a few days and am catching up email! Did you get an answer to your question? " Edemame " are fresh or frozen soy beans in or out of the pod now for sale in many supermarkets. Soy is in almost all the now ubiquitous food bars for sale everywhere. Read the label v-e-r-y carefully! Look for " soy nuggets " , " soy protein isolate " as two key words. Soy's in most protein drink mixes, so again read everything in the label before buying. Look for soy in " high protein " or " complete protein " baked goods--bread, breakfast cereals, baking mixes. " Non- dairy " or " vegetarian " cheeses, creamers, ice creams, yogurt. Some trail mixes are now incorporating " soy nuts " along with other nuts and dried fruit. Sometimes manufacturers of " low fat " products incorporate soy to get around using higher fat ingredients. Happy shopping! in LA in LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as with anything, moderation is likely the key! About 20 years ago when I was seriously into baking my family's bread, I used to use soy lecithin to grease the bread pans. It is the consistency of thick molasses, spreads with great effort but a little bit of it goes a long, long way. From what I understand of its use in food products, it is such a teeny part of any recipe, used as a binder, I think or maybe an emulsifier ,that I doubt it has any significant effect on anybody's thyroid. I'm amazed you found soy in tomato sauce! LOL! Surely, though, there are brands without it. Keep looking! in LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 Ha! It's even in tomato paste!!!! I dont' think we can escape it so I was wondering how far down on a label would it be safe to ingest??? I know that the further down it is in the list of ingredients, the better it is. ( Ha! I just realized yesterday that soy sauce was out of the question!!!) Soy lecithen is okay, though right?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 IF soy sauce is fermented, it won't have the same effect as unfermented. However, I'm not sure how you tell by which process your soy sauce was made...I just buy mine at the oriental grocery and only use small amounts.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 I eat soy sauce because it's fermented, which I have read is easier on the system. I just go by how I feel when I eat something.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Good sources of soy are organic Soy Miso Paste & Tamari Soy Saurce. Unorganic may contain GM soy.
