NOW brand also contains soy lecithin

Actually the reduced CoQ10 is produced by the Kaneka corporation in Japan, but the approved encapsulators (about 5 in the US) can use whatever oil they prefer.  Soybean oil is NOT mandatory in this product.

All I use any more is almond milk. I have never used much soy, it taste bad, but when I wanted to loose weight I went with Almond milk, it is only 40 calories an 8 oz glass and it taste good, works in cooking and baking, and is compairable in price to cows milk and soy.. We should be weened at our ages. Well I do still eat cheese. I just can not stay away from cow/goat cheese. and I buy whole milk yogert to mix with fresh ground flax for breakfast. Can not get raw milk or yogert here. I used to get raw milk when I milked the cows, the cats would line up and i would take truns squirting it in everyones mouth. Mine too. Then Mom told me it was not good for me until it was pastureised. I never was a big milk drinker anyway, too many days when the cows ate garlic, Yuck. I use Whey protein too. No one has any milk cows here any more, and I moved to the Subs.

I thought Lecithin was good for you. I take 4 capsules daily and attribute it to my HDL being 105.  Now I'm confused.  Dr. M once told me lecithin was good, but now his article implies it is not.  Can anyone clarify?

Amen!

Dr. Emanuel Revici, M.D., (the subject of "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer") determined that soy produces a strong anabolic response to our metabolism.

Many of us are too anabolic. This imbalance can lead to a variety of problems including cancer.

Then of course there is the huge problem of boy's having delayed pubescence while girls risk early pubescence, due to soy baby formulas. This is a huge problem for those who suffer from it.

The best to you.

Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!  

The reason so many people have become "intolerant" of some foods is, that certain "ingredients" are being artificially processed, as well as being put into our foods in abnormally high quantities.  

Wheat gluten and soy are being added to almost every food, sometimes in more than one form; as a result, many are developing sensitivities and allergies.  It's a total overload of our systems!

For years I too have used Paul Bragg's Amino Acids---on popcorn. Let's hope there is nothing wrong in that now.

There is some evidence that Bragg's Liquid Aminos are basically the equivalent of liquid MSG. Although I can't verify this thoroughly enough for myself, I suggest caution.

Cathleen, why offer any form of milk at all? The only use I can see for it is in chowder, which can be taken off the menu, and cold cereal, a highly processed food that should be avoided anyway. In many cultures in earlier times, once children were weaned, they no longer got milk in any form.

Cathleen, my son's pediatrician told us that human beings seem to be the only living creature that is not weaned. Check the animal kingdom. My son does not drink milk at all. Calcium etc. can be found in foods etc.

You can buy unsweetened almond milk or better yet, make your own.

I have been using UNsweetened almond milk, vanilla flavored and also the chocolate UNsweetened one as well. In my experience as a mom and former educator (35 years), there were very few children who didn't like chocolate! It's only 40 calories for 8 oz as was mentioned in one of the other posts.

My friend used Goats Milk for her baby.

organic coconut milk.

I double the YAH !! But in the minority here :O(

Actually there's a lot of evidence that humans seem to be hardwired for throwing things with accuracy. That would only make sense if there was a biological need, like hunting. Combine that with the fact that dogs have been sharing our campfires for almost as long as we had fire, means that we should have been just as good at hunting large game as a wolf pack.

The problem with modern meat eating is twofold. First is the way most cattle is raised on artificial diets and hormones. Second is that for some reason human preference on what cuts of meat have changed in the western world. Our ancestors always ate the organ meat, bone marrow, and the fat around the organs first. Muscle meat was usually dried or fermented for consumption during lean times.

Humans are opportunistic eaters though, and have found a lot of ways to turn the inedible into the edible. Fermenting being the number one way. The fact that we're ignoring the wisdom of our ancestors to make food cheaper to maximize profits is sad.

The China Study is biased rubbish!

This is a sensible rundown on this book and like usual nobody bothers to read the original study itself which is quite edifying.

FYI I am in no way linked to this site!

If anyone wants to be a frugivore/vegan, maybe reverse evolution is the answer? Epigenetics anyone? hee hee! Chimps/bonobos/gorillas have torso/gut systems much bigger than us and we have bigger brains in relation to body size in comparison to them (oh and btw these animals eat other animal based foods too)...find out what Payer's patches are in our own GIT and try to figure out why Vits A, B12, certain amino acids etc. need to be from animal sources to be bioavailable.

Peace.

ps have had to treat vegans that went very "raw" in their dietary habits that took 10yrs or more to lose all their teeth (bone density too) and encounter other very serious health probs, and calcium isn't the only issue, several wanted to go back to things like meat but the digestion had become so debilitated that this was very difficult...i could go on :) take care please and listen to mum (assuming she isn't a radical vegan).

The vitamin probably had iodine in it, and that is what caused the hyper reaction. I have Grave's disease, too, and I drink organic soy milk to control it. It works to lower the thyroid production, not increase it.  Take the iodine out of your diet, use regular salt, not iodized salt, stop eating fish, and lower the amount of milk you drink.  There is iodine in a lot of foods, so watch how how much iodine you consume.

Moitle,

I agree that you should always check labels.  When I started reading bread labels I was appalled.  I have even checked the labels of breads in the bakery area of stores, naively thinking that it would be like the old-fashioned bakeries.  I found that they contained just as many ingredients that I had no clue as to what they are.  Because of this, I have started making my own bread.  I make the dough in my bread machine, so it is very easy to make bread and now I know what's in it.  Almost all processed foods contain soy.  

vegtn,

You are uninformed.  The people in Asian cultures eat FERMENTED soy, like Dr. M. was talking about.  It is very different from the forms of soy eaten in the West.  Furthermore, Asian cultures do not eat as much soy as the soy industry would lead us to believe.  Read The Whole Soy Story by Kaayla T. Daniel.  She has done the research and it is documented in this book.  

Re: Western people being healthier: no one claimed we are.  Many, many people in the West (the majority most likely) are eating lots and lots of UNFERMENTED soy without even being aware of it.  It is in many, many processed foods.  

If this is what happens when you consume large quantities of soy poison,(aggressive behavior, rude, limited 4 letter word...)Then on this alone we should not touch soy!

Our world is rules by PROFIT and nothing else, If these multinationals are promoting this heavily, its all because of money they could not give a dam about you and your health, all they want is your money, even if it makes you sick, cause then they will sell you a pill, if you cannot see this by now, then stay tuned!

I have to say since I have taken Mercolas advice on many things like avoiding soy and now consuming raw milk, grass fed beef, avoiding processed foods my family and  I are much healthier. We just made the change about 9 months ago and with my last child who is now going to be three all his molars came in with no indiaction of pain. With my other two is was excruciating pain and like any conventional mother I would get the tylenol and teething gel, which I carried at all times! Now I do not even buy the stuff and wouldn't! I am thankful to Dr. Mercola and all of you who have given me sooo much great free information! God Bless Dr. Mercola and all of you!

I have no beef against beef being healthy or not, but the alarming thing is the amount of resources (land, water, crops) used up to produce each pound. I forget the exact number but it is staggering. Not to mention the amount of methane gas produced by cows, contributing far, far more to greenhouse gases than humans do.

Mr.AK,

That is propaganda you have fallen for regarding how much resources it takes to raise beef. And they don't have a problem with methane gas if they are grass fed and don't eat soy.

Look folks, it's not meat or soy that hurts you, it's the quality of those and the way they are processed. We are no longer eating anything fresh, unless we kill it and roast it on fire right then and there. We are no longer in control of the whole process of how food comes to your table. Its pasteurized, frozen, preserved, genetically modified, sprayed etc. In spite of all the factory Q control and labeling,ans organic certification, you don't really know what you eat.

So when we complain that this or that food is bad for us we don't really know what is that we are complaining about. Definitely, it's not the fresh, original, authentic food. And even if it is, it doesn't affect everyone the same way. For example, I can eat uncooked broccoli with no ill effect on me, but my wife has indigestion from it and has to steam it to be able to digest it.

We are both absolutely healthy, btw.

I've been drinking soy milk for many years, eated red meat and boiled eggs all my life, eaten lots of various raw and steamed vegetables all my life, and I've never went to a doctor except for a yearly check-ups. I even occasionally eat chocolate candies. I'm 47 and I feel like I'm 20 and people say I look 35.

I believe as long as you eat everything in moderation and exercise you are fine, unless you have some genetic disorder or developed food allergies. Then you really have to watch what you eat.
