It pisses me off to no end that soy has been foisted upon us the way it is. There are plenty of studies showing that soy consumption correlates to lower libido, erectile dysfunction, and specific kidney and liver disorders in men. Men who live vegan lifestyles often suffer all three.
Meanwhile, if you look at the label on pretty much any bottle of salad dressing, the first ingredient is invariably soybean oil. I went back to cooking with coconut oil a few years ago, and Mrs. Rare and I both see and feel a difference. I do my best to avoid soy in every form, including the sauce used in most eastern cooking dishes. That being said, however, I eat salad every day and sometimes like a break from the usual oil and vinegar, esp. if I have steak as a protein (mmm... blue cheese).
Thank you for sharing this article. My wife’s been on the fence, but I think this’ll help push her into my field.
I found salad dressing that has yogurt as its base rather than soybean oil. It still has some soybean oil in it but a much smaller amount.
