Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 For several years I was a committed vegan and the majority of my protein came from soy sources. I then began to experience a feeling of " fogginess " during the day and increasing feelings of sadness. This despite being a very happy person in a great home/work situation. Just out of curiosity, I had a food allergy test. Well, viola! Highly allergic to soy. Now there are several theories about food allergies..one of which is that your body can " overload " on a certain food. Consequently, for me it was either walking around in a fog or a depression because I was consuming soy or eliminating soy. I can now eat soy once or twice a week, but I have to be vigilant about drinking green teas to get flavonoids into my diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
