Mostly good, common sense here, except I'm not convinced that soy is such a good thing. Otherwise, I've been eating a diet close to this for decades. Sprouts are great, too. I never get sick, and have never been overweight. Only time I veered from it briefly was when I first got married, and attempted to eat what my husbamd was mostly eating at the time (a lot more meat and potatoes, and less veggies/fruit/nuts etc.) I felt worse for it, and went back to what my body wanted, and have never looked back.

I have heard rumours about this - that soy products all the time are bad for the metabolism and thyroid. Does anyone have information?

You'll notice the amount he suggests - HALF AN OUNCE a day. Note he doesn't recommend replacing meat with processed soy products like "veggie burgers" (Textured Vegetable Protein is made from the industrial waste generated by chnemical and heat de-fatting of soybeans to make soy oil to use for everything from "food" to industrial lubricants to plastic.

I love everything on this list except for soy. I ate similar foods to these around the time I met hubby--was the best I have ever felt in my life!

The Trouble With Tofu: Soy and the Brain

By John D. MacArthur

"Tofu Shrinks Brain!" Not a science fiction scenario, this sobering soybean revelation is for real. But how did the "poster bean" of the '90s go wrong? Apparently, in many ways -- none of which bode well for the brain.
