Note that it took 10 or 11 years for Alex Jamieson to see any negative effects for her - and she certainly knew how to eat well - so for some people adverse health effects take different lengths of time. Can you imagine what she said though that her periods were every 14 days, and that she tried correcting it while staying vegan!
What I do like about her though is that she's evidence that changing your diet can lead to drastic changes in your wellbeing, which is great for overcoming mental health problems, etc, that are caused by a bad diet instead of just relying on the doctor's pills (this is not mutually exclusive of course, but I do like the idea of looking to your diet/lifestyle first when you get depression, anxiety, etc seeing if you can do anything, that's perfectly healthy and has merit).
Quote:Just so poke with #1 son. Convinced him that excessive reliance on soy protein (and ALL it's manifestations) is what killed his father @50. He relied far to heavily on processed foods and 'take-away' products.I don't each much soy products - I would certainly agree though that soy isn't a healthy source for protein. What I would say is that be sceptical about it - studies have proven in Asia that consumption of Soy Milk is associated with better health including reduced risk of cancer; however in Asia most soy consumed is in fact fermented and they rarely consume soy milk, none of the studies took fermented soy into consideration - soy consumption is associated with eating both types in Asia, not one or the other so the evidence that Asians consuming a little bit of Soy Milk but mostly Soy in its fermented form is not evidence that the unfermented forms are healthy, nor is it evidence that the same benefits would apply to westerners.
What I am advocating is the reduction of soy and sulphites in our diet to avoid thyroid, kidney, pancreas, liver and brain problems in the over 50 group.
So until someone actually proves that regularly consuming unfermented Soy is safe for Caucasians and other non-asians, I'd remain very sceptical.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
