Cheesecake for Breakfast: So-Called Healthy Foods (Like Soy) May be Hazardous to Your Health!
My favorite foods include nuts, soya/tofu, berries, and leafy greens! I know that may seem strange to some. But, as they say, "chacun à son goût!" (everyone has their own taste).
When these basics were cut from my diet a few months ago (for medical reasons), I found it very hard to adjust. Now, as I start to feel better, the benefits of self-discipline have been confirmed. And, with the resulting weight loss, I’ve been happy to indulge with special treats, like cheesecake for breakfast…
Thinking a little more about soy, perhaps it was a fortunate coincidence that this got removed from my diet. I think I might actually have had soy poisoning! All those soy lattés… Googling around, I’ve now found a number of articles that support that theory. For others interested in finding out more about soy and its potential health hazards, here are some interesting links:
