What do you think of soy?
- by KathyBlue on 23-Jan-10 04:38 AM

Is it healthy? Is it more popular than it'd deserve? Do you prefer rice milk, low-fat milk or soy milk? How about yogurts made of soy?

I've never tried it KathyBlue, so I am interested in what the others say too.

Soy is great because it is low fat and has protein and fiber!

i love soy products, but unfortunately- they are really bad for thyroid function...as my thyroid is not well, i stay away from soy products pretty much:)

I like tofu, soybeans--edamame, soymilk with dry cereal. I've tried soymilk in my coffee--gag me--gotta have cow's milk. I'd rather have a serving of homemade blackeyed peas than a bocaburger any day:-)

I quit eating boca-type soyburgers after an interview several years ago with a woman who talked about how soybeans are processed to make bocaburgers (Archer Daniels Midland and all that jazz!). It's probably very speculative on her part. But eating some things just because they are there and taste okay is something I try to do less and less of anymore. I still eat stuff that's probably not the best choice--in limited quantities--what're you gonna do?!?

Read labels! Even my Silk soymilk has added salt--big whoop that it's sea salt, it's still sodium chloride, which I don't need, and I'd like to add it myself if I so choose.
