Egad. You just reminded me I have tofu in the fridge getting old for lack of ideas what to do with it.
I'm not accustomed (by habit) to tofu or tempeh but I wouldn't mind incorporating them. Why not?
Yeah wheat is in a whole lot, and scanning ingredient labels for it eliminates a lot of choices, right down to soy sauce and beer. I've kinda transitioned from sandwiches to roll-ups -- same thing without the bread --- either that or spend the $$ on rice-based bread, which is.... eh.
It works much better with pasta, which I've been able to return to.
As I said, an eternal game of whack-a-mole, consumer versus Corporatia, and Corp always gets the first move; all we can do is try to react.
My last blood work was kinda weird. Triglycerides actually went up even though sugars went down. That's not supposed to trend that way. Doc says I could be eating too much rice. One thing after another. "more beans, less rice" she said.
Pogo, I think your a woman..not sure but ....this is so very important.
Tofu , milk product, meats, are packed with estrogens...too many estrogens and you get cancer.
My cancer is estrogen positive, meaning my cancer is 90% estrogen..I just starting a fucking awful pill that strips estogens from my body..
even if you buy organic milk products the cows are pregnant in order to make milk, pumping out estrogens.
I'm sorry for your situation, wish you good thoughts and understand your concern but actually I think this is a myth---
>> Bowing at the temple of meat, men’s health magazines once frequently published articles that selectively skimmed for soy’s bad press, with topic favorites including isolated cases of (already health compromised) men with a high intake of soy developing breasts, and other reports of young soy dependent men having a lower libido and erectile dysfunction.
Such notions are based on the fact that soy contains phytoestrogen, and as such could supposedly undercut male testosterone. Yet, meta-analyses have shown that neither soy foods nor isoflavone supplements in fact alter normal levels of testosterone in men or impact estrogen concentration. There is also no known link between soy consumption and reduced fertility in men. << --- One Last Time: Soy Doesn't Make Men Gay
I have no hesitation to incorporating tofu/tempeh, just need a proper way to use it. I'm already using soy every day as a coffee creamer and other stuff (always organic non-GMO). I used to use soy milk (always unsweetened) for my cereals, now more often almond milk. All of that is good protein, and I believe in protein.
I was told to stay away from anything with soy by my Stanford oncologist..just saying..
Soybeans contain isoflavones, which are chemically similar to estrogens. Soybeans are a complete protein source and a dietary staple in many cultures. Soy contains phytoestrogens called isoflavones that may mimic the activity of the hormone estrogen in your body.
Yeah at least some of that was addressed in my link. It just punctuates that our knowledge base is limited and subject to conjecture, and presumably always will be. But as long as it's a natural food that Big Food hasn't yet pounced on and poisoned, I'm inclined to trust Nature.
Well guess who morphed wheat into what it is. Here's a hint --- it wasn't the consumer.
) -- along with celery, bell pepper, cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus if I have it. That's the afternoon snack.
That one is definitely headed for the lathe. Because this is a Murrika, and everything must be rigidly controlled, standardized and shaped into commercialability.
You can just wash it and eat it as is, Pogo.
