Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Okay, about soy. This might be off topic, (hi, I'm new by the way!) so just ignore me if this isn't appropriate. I've been careful about soy for years but now I'm reading Dr Young's "Sick and Tired" about the alkaline/acid balance in our bodies, and he lists foods like tofu, edamame, that would be fine to eat. Does anyone know whether he is limiting his perspective to only ph balance, and not considering the estrogen like effects, etc of soy products? thank youOn Dec 3, 2008, at 1:07 PM, Brandegee wrote: I looked for information contrary to xylitol over a year ago and felt suspicious about the clamp out there only offering 'benefits'.

An extract from Birch, I'm sorry, cannot be the same thing as one from corn - not entirely, unless it is so super processed and who knows what. I would trust a birch product more if I had to. It feels like another blanket pulled over like soy and aspartame and that other fake sugar that's supposed to be 'made from sugar cane'.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 We eat limited soy products - specifically non processed - like fresh boiled edamame, but only in moderation. t On Dec 3, 2008, at 11:27 PM, Amy Muehlhausen wrote: > Okay, about soy.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Same here - more and more limited and a little fresh edamame from the co-op. I think that author might have had a limited perspective. It's hard to avoid soy, crept into everything it has!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think the public has been misinformed about soy. The natural soy products typically in Asian diets such as tofu and edamame are fine to eat in moderation. The highly processed soy products (soy milk, soy burgers, soy protein powder, textured vetable protein etc. are not as healty (despite advertising claims) especially in high amounts. > > > > > > > > > > > Yep, but please note that it is deadly for dogs! > > > > Ingrid > > > > > > > > I'm hearing that Xylitol can provide tremendous dental benefits, > > > > remineralizing your teeth, preventing cavities and even healing > > > > cavities. > > > > > > > > Looked all over the net for negatives and can't find any. > > > > > > > > What do y'all have to say? > > > > > > > > t > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
